Does anyone else get really bad hiccups regularly? Mine are like really big hiccups that last for a while.

Does anyone else have this and do you know why it happens after surgery?

It is a cue I was told. Some ppl get them and others do not. I get them. It is letting you know that you are full.

I was told they occur more often in patients that are eating that 1/2 cup of food entirely too fast.... My surgical team wants us to take 30 minutes to eat! Makes for reheating a few times each meal????

I don't get them as much now that my band is gone but my banded hiccups were HORRIBLE. Loud, painful, miserable. Fairly certain it had something to do with an irritated vagal nerve from my band, also, they were almost always on an empty stomach so I guess that 1/2 cup thing doesn't always apply.

I get them too but there is no pattern. It sometimes happens after I eat but sometimes happen when I haven't eaten or drank anything. If it happens when I am eating, I do take it as a full signal.

Hiccups definitely tell me I am full and stop eating.

For me it's a too full signal accompanied by pain

Been getting them more and more. I'm 2weeks post-op and I'm a bit dehydrated. So after just one sip of Water there I go and start with the hiccups ????

I get them all the time, but I get them when I awake in the morning... No food yet. Can't be a signal. Surgeon was misjudged but said not to worry. I also has a hiatal hernia repair and always for hiccups so.... Don't know why, but yes....I do :D

I randomly hiccup throughout the day. Usually just a few times and then they're gone. I wonder why also!

      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.
