CAN I ASK ABOUT HIC-UPS PLEASE

[gaelic girl]

Hi Guys
On the puree stage and doing fine but occasionally between 30 mins to an hour of eating i get a short episode of hic-ups. I have stuck to portion size as per diet sheet, am i eating too fast or is this just part and parcel of my bypass x

all part and parcel - I get them after every meal - just the odd one but loud and scary!

It can happen in the early days lovely. I get them even now if I eat or drink a bit too fast.

Hi Allie, Hopeless case gets them after she has eaten, she always states that when she does thats her tummy stating " O.K Mrs thats quite suficiant" Gail.x

Thanks Guys will get my head around all of this soon x

Yep as gail says get them after every meal. Doesnt matter how fast or slow i eat if i have drunk half an hour befor or 5 mins before. I just get the hiccups before i get any feeling of restriction. I take this as my sign that i have had enough. More often than not these days i have stopped eating a good 5 mins befor i get them. its almoxt like pouchy is expelling all air to make sur it stays fuller for longer. lol

Hiccups are muscle spasms due to lack of air, and people get them when they dont breathe deep enough at certain times like eating. If your hiccuping take deep breaths and stop eating...you should see them pass!
My hiccups sound like burps so when I do a loud one at work everyone thinks Im burping and call me a scruff! Hahaha
