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!

Me too! It's so frustrating to try and enjoy a meal anymore!

      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.
