I feel like I have gas trapped in my esophagus and stomach

Does this get any better after a while? I'm a new post-op (open RNY proximal 5 days ago) and have been put on a clear liquid diet. I'm having problems getting in any liquids since I have a feeling of being full (like thanksgiving day full) after only a couple of sips of water. This doesn't seem to go away after waiting even a half hour. I also feel like every sip is more air than water. Burping doesn't help. I guess my question is...I just want the bloated feeling to go away, how do I get rid of it?
