Hiccups!

I know this is minor, but its super annoying. I get the hiccups so easily now! How common is this?

Embrace it...

It could be with you for some time...

I've just gone a year out and I get then all the time...

It could be worse - I'd prefer hiccups to heartburn or indigestion...

True, I'd rather hiccups over heartburn any day!

I had my surgery on 2/23 and when they started me drinking I had Horrible hiccups (several in row). I read up on it, and it seems like hiccups aren't uncommon, and for some people it means they are full if they have 1 hicupp or even a burp.

Since the bad hiccups, I've been trying to slow down (which is super hard for me), I haven't gotten multiple in a row...but I have got one big one (or a burp) after drinking liquids (I'm on the clear liquid diet), and I'm treating that as an "I'm full", slow down on the drinking.

I get the heartburn too Not horrible, but enough to be annoying.

For me hiccups are a signal that I have eaten too much or too fast. Try taking tiny bites, eating slowly, and chewing thoroughly. You will start to get a feel for what it means for you to be satisfied.

Hiccups, burps, and/or a runny nose are pretty common.

I do stop eating if I get the hiccups, I'm only on the pureed stage so chewing isn't really an option for me, but I do eat slowly and take small bites. I already get that feeling of being satisfied.

The key is learning to stop before you get the hiccups. It just takes time to get a hang of it.

I get the burp, hiccup, and the watery eyes and I'm only on liquids...it's tough to get all the liquids in. I guess the next learning curve is when I get to the pureed stage.

It will also improve as the swelling goes down.

That's good to know.
