hiccups!!

I just read a post that if you have the hiccups you are eating too much? I have had the hiccups quite a bit since surgery but im not eating enough my doctor says. He wants 6 small meals a day and im getting about 3. Any suggestions on why the hiccups?

I get hiccups when I'm full at that exact time. That doesn't mean I'm eating too much overall...as a matter of fact, I was told ( by my doc and nutritionist) to increase my caloric intake because my energy level is so low. I'm getting enough protein and fluids, and doing 6 small meals a day, just need more calories.

I had the hiccups in the hospital before I even started eating or drinking anything so that cannot be the case. I have always been prone to getting hiccups so I think it would be the same. The hiccups really have to do with your diaphram, not your stomach anyways I always thought???? Janet
