Life's Theme Song

You know the song....Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air... That is my life's theme song lately.

Well, every time I eat I get severe chest pain from trapped air. My nutritionist, surgeon and family doctor say it's all related to me swallowing air when I eat or drink. I had hiatal hernia repair with my VSG.

I have tried everything....
.....eating tiny bites
......chewing until my jaw falls off
......eating with toddler fork & spoon
.....not drinking out of straw

The only time I don't have the problem is when I have all liquid diet. I can't be on that forever.

I'm almost 3 months post op. Highest weight was 400 pounds 8/2010. Surgery weight was 345 pounds on 3/4/2014. Current weight is 310 pounds. I haven't lost anything in 10 days. Feeling very frustrated. I'm getting about 60grams of Protein and 600-900 calories.

Now I'm back to having air bubble pain (singing Jordin Sparks) and taking Gasx like candy.

Can anyone relate? How long will my stall last? Is a home electronic scale very accurate?
