Heart Pounding While Eating? 1 week post op on purees

I am one week post op VSG and just got advanced to purées. My first “meal” was 2 oz of cottage cheese and ricotta mixed together (2 oz total. 1 oz of each), and I followed the no drinking 30 mins before and after rule, ate slowly, and ate tiny bites but while eating my heart rate elevated and pounded. No tummy issues, just heart rate. Happened several hours later when I tried 2 oz triple zero Greek yogurt. Sooooo frustrating. Is it my vagus nerve?? It doesn’t feel like dumping syndrome.
