I had my RNY on 10/06, and over at least the last week and a half, I've had a problem with gross tasting protein burps for hours after I have my shakes.  I would have these sometimes before surgery, but I would take Alka Seltzer, and it would take care of it right away.  That's obviously not an option anymore, so does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do?  It's making me feel overall gross, and not want to drink my next shake or even water.

Never had the foul tasting burps, but I certainly had the burps and a very nasty taste in my mouth. I had some listerine from the hospital and that helped tremendously!  I couldn't bear the idea of another shake or more broth at 2weeks out. Yuck. Everything tasted disgusting but has slowly gotten better. Have you tried letting a Tums dissolve in your mouth?

I took prescription prilosec for 3 months after surgery, and was allowed to take tums if needed too. If you are allowed to take them, it might help.

Are you using a blender to make your shakes?  If so, you may need to let them sit for a while to let some of the air out of them before you drink them.

I used a "blender ball" container and just shook them (and let them sit for 2-3 minutes) rather than a blender and never had any trouble with any burping at all.
