Help! I have the HICCUPS!!

Two weeks post op and I have the hiccups!  I've tried holding my breath, but no dice. 

Any post-op folks out there have recommendations for getting rid of the hiccups?? 

I can't chug a glass of water anymore, nor can I take a tsp of sugar.  The scare thing only worked once for me and that was when I was at the bank and the teller told me I was SIGNIFICANTLY overdrawn.  I wasn't, but it DID get rid of the hiccups. 

any help is appreciated!!

wait!  I think they went away on their own. 

But if anyone has any recommendations for FUTURE bouts of hiccups, I'd appreciate it!  :D 

hiccups for me are when i eat too much or eat too fast. maybe look and see if it's a 'tell' for you?

I had them all night last night.  I took a big glass of water and sip very very small sips over and over.  They finally went away. Also, if you hold your breathe and swallow as many times as possible that works too.

I know exactly what you're talking about!  I get the hiccups alot when I am drinking/eating now.  A lot of times it is my cue to either slow down, or that I'm full and done.  Relaxing always helps me get rid of mine.  The more stressed I get that I can't get rid of them makes it worse.

Good luck in the future, but also get used to it!
