I'm having a huge issue with air in my stomach after I eat. Consistently. Every meal. It's extremely painful.

I know I'm not overeating. I struggle having the motivation to eat at all, in general, and every time after I DO eat I spend an hour struggling to burp up all the air I can hear rumbling around inside of me. Is this an issue that anyone else has had? What did you do for it? I'm kind of desperate. Eating is tough enough already, and between this and my acid reflux it makes me not want to eat at all.

How long ago was your surgery? I’m 4 days out and I get this sometimes too. Haven’t had acid reflux, but I do find I burp a lot and get gas pains when I eat. I’m guessing mine is because I just had surgery and I’ve got lots of healing to do. So I’m just wondering how far out you are.

I'm about 3 weeks out now. I didnt have it initially but then again I was on a liquid diet then so.

I'm 5 weeks out and I burp every time I eat. I'm embracing this as part of the healing process and make no excuses. It seems to be lessening. Not using a straw, eating very slowly, I'm on pureed foods now, some soft. Maybe it's just the stomach being so small, any tiny bit of gas wants to escape?
