I think you should just try and relax and if you puke up so be it. But if you keep it in thats good . Next time listen to you body and try again or go back to full liquids for a day or 2 then try again...good luck

Do NOT lie down. Do not drink anything to push it down; that will Only add to your pressure and may give chest tightness.

Try to relax. Breathe slowly through your mouth, if necessary. The pressure/discomfort should pass. If it's going to come back up, it will.

Take it slow and easy. Eat slowly at first Because the food needs time to get to your sleeve, and you do not have the room you used to have, even for puréed foods.

Hopefully by now (as I type), the discomfort has passed.

What a terrible feeling, I know. Like others suggested, relax it will eventually pass.

Yeah, drinking Water is NOT a good idea.

Does NOT solve the problem.

Walking seems to help
