In taking air?!?!? HELP!

[Yankee_Girl 7]

I'm 8 days post op. About 4 days ago I started getting gas pain when I eat or drink. Burping helps, but I feel like I'm feeling w/more are than nutrition. I'm having a really hard time getting all my Protein and fluids in. My Dr. thinks that I am some how in taking air when I eat. I have no idea how. I'm eating w/a baby spoon, taking small sips, I'm eating slowly and absolutely no straws. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, how long did this last and what helped?

It's normal. It does get better over time. I used to have to literally pat the center of my chest to get the burps out. It helps. Now I don't have to burp myself like a baby any longer. I had my surgery on Sept 8th. Gas-X capsules are a Godsend. There are the gas-x strips that melt on your tongue that I keep in my purse, just in case I need something more. Even though the doctors cringed when I told them I was actually using a straw, it works better for me. For myself, I don't get nearly as much air going down and I can control the amount of Fluid coming into my mouth better. I tried without. I tried with. Everyone is different my doctor said. He said, even though they tell people generally not to use a straw, sometimes, it is actually the better option for people.
