Swallowing air

[AlphaB 28]

Ok so this is going to sound quite dumb but is anyone else feeling like they are swallowing air when they casually swallow like just your own saliva?

Since yesterday I grew concise of every time I swallowed not food but just my own saliva I suppose. And every time I do it (cause its supposed to happen automatically) but now I am aware every time and do it more than I should. And I am swallowing air! And it's hurting my stomachache! And I can't stop it

If I walk and move around I start burping it out but I just can't stop swallowing air. What is wrong with me?

How far out are you? I had to learn to take smaller bites and close my mouth with each bite, then take a deep breath to make the air come back out. If I eat anything in slush form I still have a small issue. Sleeved 6/8/15

I'm 5 days post op. If I get distracted I swallow like a normal person but if I'm thinking about it I keep taking small bits of air

It doesn't matter if I take small or big bites or swallows - I still swallow air. Right now I think the air is more difficult to get out of my stomach with smaller drinks. At least a moderate drink leaves a bigger air bubble to get out. I don't burp easily though and never have.

They gave me a,special water bottle that only allows small sips at a time. I couldn't drink out of anything for the first 6-7 weeks but that.... I want another one... mold grew in the valve-had to chuck it...

I'm 13 days post surgery and I started doing this yesterday. It's making me crazy! Did it go away?
