This is very normal and it does get better with time. Make sure you are eating very slowly, chewing very well, not drinking with meals, and not over eating at meals. If you feel like you aren't tolerating your current phase well, you can always go back to the previous phase for a few days and try again. Everyone heals at a different rate, so try not to compare. Learn to listen to your body and eat in a way that fuels you and makes you feel the best. You got this!

I'm two weeks out from sleeve and I have lots of "noise" when I eat, although I'm only eating fluids and yogurt at this point. I have gas/burping too. If I drink too big a gulp or drink too fast or eat too much yogurt/soup at once it's worse. Try smaller sips at a time or eating more slowly. Not sure if you're still on liquids. I start solids tomorrow. Can't wait!
