Had the surgery last night at 6pm. Have had the hiccups off and on all day today. The last spell lasted 2 hours. Is VERY painful. I was doing fine with no pain meds until the hiccups started. I asked the doctor about it when he came in to discharge me and he just said to take the Lortab. Well, it doesn't hurt as much, but the hiccups are very annoying and I can't take Lortab forever. Anybody else have this problem?

I get the hiccups at least 2-3 times a day and I will be 11 weeks on Monday!

They are annoying, I don't know what is up with them, but really wish they would stop!!

I only get hiccups here and there, usually when I eat too fast or too much. They can last 30 minutes or so and it's annoying. But I'll take it compared to spending the rest of my life huge.

They gave me levosin (hope I spelled that right) for spasms. I got the hiccups alot at first esp if I was too "full". It got better.

I get them randomly i believe when I am full as well, not with every meal though. It drives my husband crazy but there is nothing I can do about it. Even before surgery I probably got them more than the average person.

I have alot of random hiccup/burp sounds when eating or drinking. But true hiccups I've only had once and it lastest what seemed like forever. Held my breath a few times and they finally stopped.

      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.
