What's with this..hiccups after first bite?

Hiccups, although embarrassing, were my signal to stop eating.  Well, now I'm getting hicccups after the first bite.  What's with this?  I'm not PB'ing or sliming, at least not yet, but I start on the first bite (of good food...my protein) with hiccups.  It doesn't matter what I eat, they are right there.  HELP...I'm going to my son-in-law's mother's house for Thanksgiving and I'm about to back out.  These are embarrassing and I don't know why this is happening.  I can drink anything with no problem, but eating is embarrassing.  I can still continue to eat...and hiccup all the way through....pretty bad when you have to eat between the hiccups. I'm chewing well and eating slowly.

Sounds like first-bite syndrome to me.  I still do that sometimes...last night, in fact!  I took a couple of bites and BOOM!  Hiccups.  No way I could be full...so I give it a moment (three hiccups is par for the course) and then I continue to eat.  You may HAVE to sip some water.  I do a few deep breaths and kind of try to catch a hiccup in progress and hold my breath.  Works like a charm. 

Thanks Bridget, I thought about taking a sip of water and then I stop myself (guess I was told by someone not too...not to drink with meals), but I'm going to try it.  Thanks for replying.  I don't intend to hiccup all though dinner on Thanksgiving :)  I'll also try holding my breath to see if they pass.  Hope it works.

YUP, SOUNDS LIKE FIRST BITE SYNDROME.  I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE DRINK HOT TEA HALF AN HOUR BEFORE EATING, AND IT SEEMS TO STOP IT FOR SOME.  GOOD LUCK!   SUGGAH

Between the hiccups and the gurgling sounds I feel like I haver a 10 piece orchestra going on here.  I'm sure Ill be amusing for the holidays.

I would love hiccups, instead I was blessed with sneezing.  Everyone who knows me well, knows if I start sneezing that it will pass soon and they dont have to bless me 15x lol.  I am 2 1/2 years post op and still "sneeze" with meals at least 3x a week.  The sneeze comes from my chest not my nose it's so weird but I was told this was my lovely signal.  Karianne

Well you are blessed also. (no pun intended)  We would make a terrific pair.
