Hey Advengers. I need some help, advice, comfort... SOMETHING haha

I just started mushies Friday (3 days ago) I've eaten mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, pureed black eyed peas, refried beans, backed potato with melted cheese, crackers (after chewing chewing chewing) apple sauce, sherbert... I think that's all. Oh Saturday morning I did try a maybe 3 bites of grits and 3 bites of scrabbled eggs.... all of this in VERY small portions and all are on my list of "can eats". Starting Saturday around 12:30 pm I started getting this pretty tough chest pain. It felt like TIGHTNESS. I had eaten around 8:30 and nothing else until about 4:30 due to the pain. After eating apple sauce it got better. Then around 8pm I ate some baked potato and here it came again... lasted all night. Woke up this morning with the same pain. It felt like what was explained as gas pain but I never had after the surgery.. until now. Now everytime I eat something.. It starts. I took 3 gas x strips today and it got better. Just ate some sf pudding... it's back.

Is it normal for the food to cause gas pain? I'm not using a straw, not drinking while I eat (which is hardddd by the way). Surely this can't go on forever. I can't live on gas x strips. I wonder if the chewables will work better and longer.. and are they ok to use?

Any advice???
