I have a lot of discomfort after drinking water

I am going on my 2nd week post op and have been having trouble drinking most fluids.I am sipping from a glass and am not using a straw but seem to be trapping a lot of air in the pouch which is very uncomfortable. I find it is the most severe when drinking water. I have tried several different beverages and find the colder something is the less discomfort I have; juices and milk seem to be the best. I am still on a soft diet and have no discomfort when eating soft foods. Is this unusual? How long will this last? Any suggestions?
