Hello everyone, I am new to this site. I had my procedure done February 20, 2012 & have lost 84 lbs. I have been having issues lately with getting hiccups about 20 minutes after I have finished eating that ends up leading me to throwing up. Has anyone else had issues with hiccups?

By chance are you eating too fast or/and too big of bites? Does this happen everytime you eat? Btw, great job on your weight loss thus far!!!

Welcome & congratulations on your success. I was also banded in February. I find hiccups are a soft stop for me, but I get them while I'm eating & not 20 minutes later.

One thing that I discovered I was starting to do was not following the band eating rules like I should. I was eating too big a bits and too fast causing a lot of discomfort after the meal. You might see if that is what is causing the hiccups and the throwing up. I would also suggest asking your doctor.

Good luck to you.

Welcome. I agree with the two posts above. You may have become so used to your band you are taking bigger bites. That does it to me every time. Good luck and welcome to the board!

Hi and welcome to the forum. Quite a few folks get hiccups as a sign they are full. Is it possible you're overeating?

I get shoulder pain when I'm nearing full and if I take even one more bite,it becomes severe.

Some ppl cough , get a runny nose or just sighs. All little signs of being full.

If you don't think that is it, it's time to see your Dr.

Good luck!

I really do not think over eating is the problem. I only eat about 1/2 cup of food. I had a fill back in November that was tight & I got dehydrated & passed out after 2 days before being able to get in to see the Dr to have some taken out. I have good days & bad days to where I can not hold anything down no matter what I try, even liquids some days. I have a follow up appt scheduled for Jan 8th.

      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.
