Yay......you deserved your own thread Loriely!

Yeah, I get the hiccups sometimes during/after I eat. Not always and there seems no rhyme or reason to it. But when I get 'em, boy do I get 'em!!! LOL Very loud...very very very loud!!! LOL Thankfully it has only happened at home.

If I'm honest with myself, I prob get them when I am eating a few bites too fast (or too much at once).

It's good full sign to have though, if that is what it is for you!

How is Mr. Loriely doing?

Hiccups are a sure sign I over indulged. If I eat past the first hiccup, I throw up my excess food. Its not sliming. Its just like the excess food just ejects. Not everybody has this indicator so appreciate it if you do.

Mr Loriely is doing good. He is looking forward to eating puree foods. He fines he slimes eating and drinking all the time since he has been banded.Don't know why.

Tell him to sloooow right down. Maybe even buy him a baby utensil set, that might help, sliming means you ate too much or too fast or both. I find if I slime too much then I get irritated, then it's a vicous cycle.

I also get the hiccups, I usually stop eating then, even if I don't want to.:cry

Thanks everyone for the advice; dh and myself will have to slow down eating .It is very hard to train yourself not to inhale your food(haha).

Woo hoo Lorely! your own thread!

before i was banded i always got hiccups when i ate too fast and gulped air ( i think), of course just being banded 2 weeks, i have no idea what could cause them now, since i'm still not really eating!

I am a food inhaler. When banded ones describe sliming and getting stuck. I have been doing this for about 5 years, not on a regular basis. If I am very hungry and hurry to eat. Especially bread I get a blockage in my throat and I can neither swallow or spit it out. I can't even swallow my own spit and then what seems like slime (thick saliva) comes out. If I try to drink it only gets worse. (The blockage part) So I have to talk my self into just relaxing and the food goes down. I have not learned my lesson cause it happened to me the day before I started my pre-op diet.

I am thinking I will have to be super careful once I have the band.

Aren't you happy I shared that with you????!!!!

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
