So I had surgery on the 14th May, and I am still on a slush stage (basically just thicker liquids).

I know that because of this I wont feel full as I will do when I am on more solid food, but I think my body has a new way of telling me I am full up: HICCUPS!

I absolutely HATE hiccups - does anyone else get this? 😡

I don't - but it's not uncommon

Actually quite a common sign of being full. On occasions I’ll get them - maybe once every month or two. I used to get the most awful hiccups before surgery related to my reflux & inability to burp. Pulled muscles even vomiting, lasted for ages & often would stop & start again. Hideous!! My post surgery hiccups are a joy in comparison.

Yes that's common. Many of us won't get a full feeling for many weeks after surgery because nerve endings get cut and take a while to grow back. We need to stick to the stages and volumes of our programme until we do get those signals back.

From about 3 months post op I got a runny nose and/or sneezed when I ate too much. Had this no later than today when I was eating a lovely lunch and decided I needed just another few forkfuls...

Thank you everyone for the responses - it is really interesting to see how every one else reacts to new signals!

I am hoping that mine won't be hiccups forever 😂

I sure do!! I'm almost a year out and I still get the most painful hiccups. (Usually at work, of course!) I've found drinking through a straw a couple of times helps them go away. (My team had us drinking Water through a straw as we were walking post-op and said straws were fine - VSG - but I do limit my straw usage as I can feel the air in my wee stomach occasionally).

I get hiccups when I am over full, I typically can feel that I am full, which sometimes it is just an air bubble, so once I get that slight feeling I will stop eating and sit there for a bit. Last night I over ate at dinner...not to the point of needing to hurl, but close. I did get the hiccups, and then I just felt uncomfortable, so walking around helped gravity pull the food down. At first I would get the hiccups when I was at the perfect point, but it may change.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
