Hiccups are what is called a "soft stop". It's a sign you need to learn to watch for.

It's the sign that you should stop eating, For some people it's a hiccup, for some it's a sigh, for me it's a burp/hiccup combo.

Just means your band is doing its job of reminding you. Of course, you can keep eating, but just because you can, doesn't mean you should (as is quoted on here quite often).

Your band is telling you to stop. Continue at your own risk. My experience has been stuck, PB or slime when I try to push past it. Good luck!

What does it mean when you hiccup but still can eat more? It's so confusing. If I am able to eat more than 1 cup I assume not in the green zone . But I have episodes of getting.stuck often and then I think I'm too tight.

Just because you can eat more doesn't mean you should. The band's job is not to physically stop you from eating anything. Portion Control and good food choices will always be your job.

I know Portion Control is my job but so many people post that they cannot physically eat more than a few spoonfuls. Is that being too tight?

If you can't eat enough healthy food to sustain, then yes it would be too tight.

Sometimes when people say they "can't" eat more than a couple bites they don't always mean it's physically impossible to eat more but rather they simply don't need or want more. They're satisfied on very little food.< /p>

      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.
