Hiccups!

Has anyone else had really bad hiccups after surgery? I had RNY bypass yesterday and ever since I've been getting the hiccups.

I get the hiccups when I eat or drink too much. That is how I know when I've had enough.

Hiccups are one of the signs that a person has eaten to much and should stop before they begin dumping. But since you had surgery yesterday (probably still in the hospital with very little food), I think this is too soon for you to encounter this symptom.

Well I just started tracking my milliliters having 30 every 15 minutes so hopefully that will reduce the amount of hiccups I have. I'm obviously having a hard time telling when I'm full. I haven't had too much pain just really when I wake up at first.

I have bad, deep, loud hiccups. My surgeon told me it was from eating/drinking too fast. After 4 months, I still tend to eat too fast.

Congrats on your surgery and good luck!

So aside from the hiccups I'm not really having any other symptoms besides some pressure in my chest. iIs anyone else going through this? It almost feels weird not having the nausea and sickness that everyone else is talking about maybe I'm just being overly cautious with my fluids and not drinking too much now. Maybe I'm lucky. It kind of makes me nervous. Two days post op.
