What is up with the hiccups I get on a daily basis?! It's so annoying and after awhile makes me nauseous. Any tips on how to prevent them?! Also, I get a weird thick saliva sometimes too.... Anyone else?

I'm no doctor, but I think the hiccups might be from taking in too much air when we eat...

We impulsively take smaller bites but still open our mouths just as wide as before...

I get them aaaallllllllll the time...

And I think it's when I rush and gulp...

Be warned tho...

I really don't know anything...

Only what happens to me...

It happens to me when I eat too fast. I get fuller than I should and get the hiccups. Lesson for me is SLOW DOWN and feel what's happening.

Every. Fricking, Time. I. Eat. No matter how slow or fast I eat. No matter how much I chew the food up. It's annoying, but I deal with it. Usually my family says after each meal..."Let's time her to see how long it takes this time."

That is usually a sign of eating too much or too fast.Too much and it feels like your stomach is trying to settle things or compact them. Too fast and you have an air bubble stuck in there and it needs to work its way out. Also, if you have air trapped, you stomach will start making hilarious noises!

Happens to me every night at dinner even though I try to eat slow and I measure everything and don't eat more then 2-3 ounces of food.

To me hiccups and burps are both signals that I have eaten too much. For me, eating too fast can lead to eating to much and taking that "one bite too many".

Ohh my word, I am with you.. or at least was.. for 2-3 weeks post surgery I had the hiccups after drinking. my wife and kid thought it was a permanent side effect and would never go away... but i am happy to say, approaching week 4 they did go away.. but it was replaced with this painful urge to burp...but i know now that most of that burping is because i am eating to fast and not chewing enough.. so I am slowing down on how fast I eat my little 3-4 table spoons of food and how well I chew.

I think that's definitely my biggest eat issue, eating too quickly. Need to slow down and feel out what's going on. But this saliva thing is annoying. Do you have that issue?

The saliva thickening may be a sign of dumping.

For sleeve patient it's often called slimeing or slimeies it happens when eating to fast or eating something too dry or dense. It's the stomach trying to figure out a coating to help digest the food.

Well I guess we've solved the mystery... I'm eating way too quickly. Need to slow down! Thanks for the answer!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
