So I'm bored...like having Carnation instant and stuff is great...but I'm bored...and having to drink every hour is rough....like I forget to...then I'll be sipping some decaf tea or something and my stomach gets really gassy and I spend the rest of the hour burping...is this all normal? And how long does it take to NOT burp this much?

2 mos out and I still burp a lot. Try mixing it up with your shake routine. Get clever with a blender. Adding a banana or an apple to a shake. I like to freeze strawberries and add powdered protein mix, whatever flavor I want or unflavored with a banana and some plain yogurt and crystal light. Siing might be making you gassy.
