TERRIBLE HICCUPS POST-OP, CAN ANYONE RELATE ?

I am about 8 days post-op (laproscaopic BPD/DS) and I have been suffering from HORRIBLE hiccups. They occur whenever i swallow anything (pureed food or liquids) or just spontaneously for no reason at all. I get them atleast every hour and they KILL (especially since they make me involuntarily contract my EXTREMELY sore abdominal muscles). They can last up tp 15-20 minutes at times. I'm just so sick and tired of them and i'm ready to do anything to get rid of them. Has anyone had a similar problem? If so, do you know what caused them and how to get rid of them? Thank you so much for your help.
