Swallowing air

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...
