Hi all,
I am 6 weeks out from surgery (and doing great). About 1/2 the time, after eating a meal, I get hiccups. Does that mean that I over ate?

Thanks,
J

Hi,

For me, it usually means that I ate too quickly. I am a little over a year out and I get the hiccups from time to time....and I do burp after I eat from time to time. I think that what you are experiencing is normal.

Congrats on the surgery and best of luck!!

Joy.

My mom used to say that hiccups meant you were growing..hope that is not the case, lol! Seriously it means you ate too fast, and possibly gulped air down with your food. Chew, chew ,chew...take your time!

Like Joy, I think I had them from eating or drinking too quickly. While I had them quite frequently for the first three months post sugery, I don't get them as often anymore (although I did get them last night). I asked my Nut about them and she said that several patients had also mentioned this to her post op.

My work friends would laugh at me when I would get them a couple times a day. They kept asking how much booze I had in my desk.

That might be your new "full" signal. Since the nerves in our pouch is cut during surgery the brain is not fully able to communicate with out tummies... so the body figures out a new way to signal to us that we are full or hungry or thirsty. For me is was a little hiccup/burb. For some it's a runny nose or a sneeze.

I always looked at it as a warning sign to stop eating. And the hiccups would stop. I don't get them to often now unless I try to eat to much they come out and tell me enough!! So I stop eating. Not one more bite. And you know I'm full! Good luck on your journey. Nancy

My friends at work call the hiccup my "shut off valve", I always know that I'm finished eating. Pretty easy to tell that way.

The science behind what you eat and hiccups is as simple as looking at the Vagus Nerve. It lies just slightly behind your stomach ( or pouch in our case ). When your pouch expands to a certain capacity, it pushes on the vagus nerve which can result in hiccups, yawning or the feeling of having to take deep breaths ( or even sighing ). That is usually the sign that you are at your food intake limit.
