Question:
What do Hic-Ups after eating Indicate???

I am 4.5 months post-op and would like to hear if anyone else has had problems with hic-ups after easting. What do they indicate? Eating to fast? Inquiring Mind Wants To Know... David ps I was 323 pre-op and know, 250, 73lb lost and am now off of Insulin...YEA...    — David B. (posted on August 13, 2002)

For me, it means I am going to thow up...lol. But sometimes, it happens to me when I eat too much. I get two pretty severe hiccups then it stops. It's annoying more than anything...good luck

Yep, like Barbe, to me it means I'm full.

Same for me... that's the way I tell when I've eaten enough... if I go past that point sometimes even with just a bite or two I dump... It's a great way to control the quantity of what I eat. Now I don't always eat til I hic-up but sometimes I do...

I am a little over a year post op and have had hic-ups often. I know for me it means I ate a little too much, a little too fast than tried to do something right afterwards (Like water my garden.). If I slow down a bit eating (very hard for me to do...that always has been an issue) and sit for awhile to let it start to digest, I can avoid the hic-ups. Best of luck to you! -Kim open RNY 7/17/01 -122

Hi David! I'm almost a year post op (down 152lbs) and that's when I know I'm full...I get two or three good hiccups and they quit...It's been like that since I had surgery.

Me too!! If your looking up in the library for more info, I believe it is spelled hiccoughs also. I get them every day. Its always just a few, and for me it means that I am full. It happens even when I DON'T eat too fast or too much, so I know that it is just my pouch expanding and pushing against the diaphram. Sometimes I forget that I had surgery, but those darned hiccups always remind me. But I will take that instead of all the co-morbidities that I had previous to surgery.

For me, too, it indicates that I am full. Kinda comes in handy. :)

I agree with all the posts...I get 2-3 good ones and that tells me I'm a satisfied and happy camper!

Ok, I always get one or two LOUD hic ups after I eat. If I eat slow or not. If I eat too fast or too much the hic ups are worse and it usually means I am going to puke after :P Congrats on you weight loss!!

I never knew that it was as common as this! I always get the hiccups after eating, and they are loud but just a few of them! nice to know what it means now..but usually I don't get them until after I have put the fork down.
