Hi Everyone,

AmyH33,

I think that I am drinking slow, but I am going to take your advise and pay closer attention to how I am eating. Thanks!

roseyposey,

YES!!! A spasm is exactly what it feels like, a painful spasm!!! I am hoping that it gets better. I have my post op appointment with my doctor on Monday. Hopefully he can shed some light on my issue and provide me with some help! Thanks for sharing : )

Hi AmyH33, I have been experiencing this so much lately. I even tried sipping using a tbsp measuring spoon and it does not matter the amount, I still burp and then the all quick spasm. Has anyone figured out what causes this. I am not 'eating' because I am only 11 days post op and still on liquids, so I can't figure out what the deal is.
