I am 2 days post op. Every time I take a drink of water I get severe hiccups. Anyone else have this problem?

You might be taking in a lot of air when you drink without even knowing it. That's what happened to me. For the first few weeks I had to consciously think about breathing out as I le****er slip in. Also, make sure you are taking tiny sips.

This happened to me! A few things to try:

  • Teeny sips-- use a little paper bathroom cup instead of a big water bottle to force you to slow down

  • Don't use a straw, you may take in more air that way

  • Try different temperatures, really cold water was hard but I was fine with room temperature

Very common problem. I second what Julie said. Small cups, differen****er temperatures.

Now I get the hiccups if I eat too much. Or my nose runs. Or I get really sleepy.

8 months post-op, and I still get hiccups occasionally if I eat too fast. Your hiccups should go away as you heal.

Hiccups and runny nose are common signs that you went just a little too far, or too fast. It takes more for it to happen as your capacity increases.
