Since my surgery last month, I get the hicups every single time I eat or drink.  Anyone know why?

I get hiccups softly at first but they can become much worse.  It is usually (for me) a sign that I am full up.

I get hiccups once I 'eat enough' and need to quit eating...

Hiccups are a spasmic response to stimulation of your diaphragm, the muscle which assists in the inflation of your lungs during breathing. The esophagus, stomach and diaphragm are in such close quarters that if your stomach is too full, or if you eat something that gets "stuck" in your esophagus, it could stimulate your diaphragm to spasm and you'll have hiccups.

Use it as a sign that you need to slow down, chew things better, or stop eating and rest for awhile.

I also get them when I am full- although they have started to go away now and now I am burping.

I am further out and I used to get them when I get full not to much any more now I get them when I have to cough don't know why but sometimes that's what happens. I kinda miss the hiccups after I eat it used to be a way to know that I'm full.
