Anyway to force a burp?
If you're alone, beat your chest....think Tarzan! If you're lucky enough to have a big person nearby, or even an energetic little one, have them pound you (yep hard) between the shoulder blades.
In a pinch standing by a wall and repeatedly bouncing your back against it works too!
Usually if I try diet pop it just makes it worse.

What others said... a sip of diet coke!
Rub your tummy. Or try and move around a bit. Its uncomfortable. I know. It gets better.
Be careful with the diet coke, though. I only use soda when I know I need to get whatever is upsetting my tummy out quickly. When I have food stuck it takes just one or two quick swigs and out it comes. But be careful! Its not pleasant.

I was over a year out before I could burp. I just couldn't do it after surgery and now it's still not that easy. Sorry to hear you're struggling with it too! Hope everything else is going well!
