 Starting to feel human again after a horrible first month. 
If I need to eat , after I eat I start burping. Burping can go on for 15-20 mins none stop. I am not swallowing a lot of air or drinking high carbonated drinks. 
Why am I burping so much and how do I stop it.
Can't go back to work next week trying to find a quiet spot to burp to myself.
Burps are odorless and tasteless.
Anyone else get this, will it go away?

Me too, me too, I can not believe it. I feel fine, but just like you I burp and burp. I used to burp sometimes before WLS but now it is out of control. I am going to talk to my PCP next week and that is one of the things I am going to talk about.

I know it has something to do with air intake and perhaps it's a way to force food down into our system...I too seemed to burp a lot the first three months or so especially right after eating...now 6 months out, it's usually not an issue unless I eat more spicey food. Good luck and please post up if you find out why.

Are you weighing out a 4 oz total portion for your meal? If so then try 2 oz per meal as burping is a symptom of overeating or putting too kuch in your pouch.

I don't know how to fix it but there are times where I can't stop burping either. Grrr...

I do that too....but more like a loud hiccup. My NUT told me it was my pouch's way of tellimg me it's full. She said some people sneeze & others my burp. So, if your not drinking thru straws or doing other things to get extra air, it might be our pouch telling you to stop eating.

I'm sorry to tell you that at one year out, I still burp loudly and often. Sometimes it's less after meals, but I'm guess about 2/3 of the time when I eat, I belch away when I'm finished. And I'm not overeating, and I'm not eating too fast, and I'm not taking in too much air. I think I'm just a GREAT belcher. The Queen of Belching! But I'd rather be where I'm at today and belching than be where I was a year ago (and I still belched pretty good then too!).

I used to burp all the time and one day it just stopped.  Maybe that will happen for you. I fart a lot more than I used to though.
