sipping sipping sipping...

I was banded yesterday and have some questions regarding sipping...

When I take a sip...it feels like air want to trade places with the contents of my sip...does that make sense? As soon as something goes down air comes up. Is this normal? I have not puked or even burped but the pressure exchange is kinda weird. :thumbup:

I have been sipping Water and Tomato Soup and a little bit of apple juice mixed into water...OH and a sugar free hawaiian shaved ice...that was yummy :tongue2:

I did a lot of that burping with sips in the beginning. I think everything is just tight in there and swollen so I felt like I had to make room while sipping by burping any air out that I had swallowed. It will get easier as the swelling inside goes down.
