Hiccups are very common in the beginning (I had them)...usually means I ate too fast/much... too much air into my system...so annoying!

To help gas pass...WALK! Good luck

I'm guessing it is. I was a burper! LOL I burped unexpectedly for the first 2 weeks. I never was gassy. I am betting this is normal and that is what your body is doing. However, if it is persistant and it worries you, I would ask your doctor. :)

I am 5 months out and hiccup all day long whether I eat or drink and sometimes without either but I get them about 10 times a day. Annoying especially at work but getting used to it now. Sometimes they hurt pretty bad too. Hope yours are only temporary.

I'm 8 months out and I hiccup several times a day. It's just once or twice and then I'm done. I asked the dr about it. She said hiccups usually happen when something irritates your diaphragm muscle, for example eat/drinking something too cold or something like that. However mine happen at any time... Eating, drinking, talking, laughing, breathing, etc! It has no pattern to it.

I'm a teacher, so at least my students get a kick out of it when I'm in then middle of talking and it happens. :-)

Hiccups are my mark for being full. I stop eating at the first hiccup. If I don't I'll regret it. I'm just over 5 months out

Hiccups are also my full indicator.

Whenever I hiccup more than twice, I tend to curse... The day of / day after surgery I was cursing louder than usual! Now I get a hiccup or two and my partner is all "OMG honey are you ok?!?" LOL I must have trained him, haha! They don't hurt now but they are deeply annoying if I get more than 2. There was a day where I was all *hic* "kill me" *hic* "kill me"

      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.
