I've been getting the hiccups frequently and I'm 2 weeks postop. Does anybody know why or how I can try to prevent them? Am I eating or drinking too fast? It's almost embarressing! I'm sitting in my daughter's parent/teacher conference and wouldn't you know it, along come the hiccups. Thanks!

I got 'em too!! I don't know what causes them and they don't happen every time I eat of drink something, but they sure don't feel good at 2 days post op.

I've been getting the hiccups frequently!

hi atkin

hiccups occur with me alot. I don't know the exact.......oops excuse me i just hiccuped. :lol:

with me, sometimes it means i'm full - don't eat more. Not always though. sometimes i barely will have eaten anything when i'll hiccup

hiccups can be common. :D

don't know how to prevent them, or when they hopefully stop. BTW - I'm 4 months post-op.

Eeegads, here comes another one..... :)

Hi Courtney,

I get the hiccups too- although they are short lived- usually only 1 min or less- but they are still embarassing.

I have found when things arent "down" properly is when I hiccup the most. Like taking my chewable Vitamins and they have been swallowed but are not all the way in my tummy. Or when I have a drink and I let it trickle down my throat....

I have a as-needed perscription from my surgeon for esophegeal spasms that I havent taken- I wonder if that is for the hiccups? you may ask your surgeon.

On the bright side... I would much rather have hiccups than gas! LOL.

      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.
