I burp too regularly after eating and I'm 20 months out.. I take it as a sign that I'm full/possibly eating one spoonful too much - I've had hiccups also - watch that he isn't eating/drinking too fast also.

Agree with Selena Hay - hiccups, burping, runny nose are signs you are over full, and ate just a little too much. It means you have so much food stuffed in your stomach that your vagus nerve is irritated. I get a runny nose as my "overfull" reminder to eat slower and eat less next time.

I came on this morning to find out about hiccups because I have been getting them quite often. I have a follow up with my surgeon tomorrow and will find out for sure sheet they're all about.. One thing for sure is that yeah they're much more annoying than before being slewed.

I get hiccups too! I take it as my sign to stop eating.

could also be a vagal nerve stimulation, which is a nerve running right around our stomachs. not unusual, and happens when the stomach is 'full'.

i had hiccups terribly right after surgery but it let up within a couple days!

      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.
