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????!!!!

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
