Hiccurps...burccups?



Recommended Posts

Since surgery on Tuesday I’ve been having these weird things I can only describe as a cross between a hiccup and a burp. I get them a few times each hour, but not in a row like hiccups. And I’m not releasing any gas with them like you would a burp. All I know is that they’re very uncomfortable and I’d love to hear if anyone else has dealt with these and any suggestions for getting rid of the suckers.

My doc gave me an exercise band to do stretching when you are sitting and get up and move even if small amounts

oh goody @aussielady I have on of those already. Did you know they are coded by color. Mine is Green, I'll have to ask @Manpower he is very gym and PT literate, he'll know the answer. Girls-- a little Grandma trick. Raise. your right arm,up, okay? Now put it over top and reach for your left ear. Now while its up there try belching, sometimes just that much movement will,help. Try it sitting down if that doesn't work stand up when you do it. Just,might give you some relief . If not at so,ithen you've lost nothing but a couple minutes of your time.😝 Incidently I'm very proud of you both, you came through it relatively unscathed. You both deserve a big smile, unfortunately all I have is an emoji one😝👍👌

Hicburps, LOL! I had them even pre-surgery. They're more or less a side effect of getting the gall bladder removed which happened to me in 2002.

I haven't had a case of them since surgery, but in my family we call them hic-a-burps. (Hiccuburps? Not sure how I'd spell it, actually.)

That’s happening to me but For me it’s a signal to stop eating - a new full feeling??

That is exactly what my Mom did after her surgery when she was full. Sometimes the hiccup came with a loud burp and other times just the hiccup with a small gagging sound. She had the RNY back in the 90's. This why I am going to be super careful eating out after my surgery. I don't want to be the loud burp in the restaurant!

Hahahaha! I love the advice and the encouragement Frustr8. And thank you all for the suggestions! They’ve seemed to lesson a little so hopefully it’s just some weird, temporary healing thing.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
