Problems getting stuff down???

 I am reading a lot of people with issues trying to eat and get stuff down? I am wondering if those of you with those problems had issues from the begining or if this problem just crept up on you? Right now I have no problems drinking anything unless it has a lot of air bubbles then I get apprehensive about the air going in because I am having a problem with like stomach hiccup or contraction type thing going on.  Or is this a problem that occurs when we move on to thicker food? Cany anyone help shed some light on what I may be in for?

I have never had a problem getting anything down...except for carbonated drinks...cannot tolerate them well at all, but the past couple of days I have been struggling with swallowing & feels like my food wants to come back up, probably acid reflux...just gonna wait a few days & see if it goes away, but other than that it has been smooth sailing for me! wish you much success!!! God Bless!!

 well that is great! I really hope that I am one of those "super sleevers" who has no problems throughout this whole experience!!

Hi..must remember not to eat and drink at the same time. Also, using straws is a big no-no as you are sucking in air.  Eat slow, and you bites need to be the size of a baby spoon-in fact I use one. I am 9 days out, and finally able to judge how much I can eat-for now 1/3 of a cup is it. Once my tummy heals-it may go to 1/4 or 1/2. If you do not eat slow, you won't be able to tell when you are full. Hope this helps!!! hugs
