It's a soft stop for some.

I get them really bad - usually on the first bite or two and it's not always from not chewing or eating too fast as I've gotten them on mushies too.

I've never PB'ed but I'm sure I'd rather have hiccups then that. The hiccups are a sure sign to me to remember to slow down and after a few minutes I resume eating and everything is fine.

The only thing is if you're in a restruant and they get really loud it can be embarrassing. I guess I shouldn't care but people look at me like I need assistance like Im choking or something.

I usually get a single hiccup when I have had just enough to eat. It is like a sign to stop eating for me. I have ignored it before and kept eating and been sorry cause then I developed a PB (painful and not any fun). I don't get hiccups every time, just occasionally.

I get the hiccups if I eat too fast or sometimes when I've had enough to eat. I don't get them every time, but just once in a while. It's kind of my cue to stop eating and listen to the signals my body is sending. For example, if I get them early in my meal, I was probably eating too fast. If I get them later in my meal, it's time to stop, period, end of story.

Another "soft stop" for me is that my nose will run. If my nose starts running, it's time to stop and think "have I had enough to eat?" "am I satisfied?" "am I still hungry?".

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
