Yep, just sip and don't gulp for a bit.

Yes, try just taking teeny tiny baby sips for now. After the swelling in your tummy goes down you'll be able to take bigger sips.

Yes,I felt like that too.To me it was almost like a tiny contraction pain.It only lasted a few days but I had to take 5 ml in my mouth at a time and let it run to the back of my throat over my teeth before I swallowed it for it not to hurt.(that is a strange way to describe it but thats exactly what I did)Tiny sips.

It does get better though.Hang in there!

We've all been there. I can gulp again now. Took a few months though ;)

Yes I was sleeved on Oct 3rd, and I still get those pains. I find taking a deep breath as the pain starts helps relieve it and gets the gas out.

Yep. Take a break between sips. If it helps, drink from a teaspoon to see how small that sip should be. It will get easier in a couple of days.
