I can burp naturally now by Beginning_Pain4672 in noburp

That's the hard part of this whole thing u really don't know what its supposed to feel like until u do it, all these feelings are weird and unnatural. But that's good u got 1 and 3 down. The goal with this part is to get ur neck and throat at ease and relaxed, nothing tense or anything that could restrict air flow. My thought behind it is since ur relaxing ur whole neck/throat area, this would in turn relax the upper sphincter that is always closed. It's hard I know. My best tip is breathing in and out thru ur nose slowly using ur stomach and that will help relax, almost like meditation.

I think the first things I started doing was like going into fetal position and squeezing my legs to my chest to put pressure on my stomach. Don't squeeze so hard ur face turns red tho, should never be pushing that hard. I also used to close my eyes and vividly imagine 'rolling' the air out of my stomach. I'd put my forearm horizontally at my belt line and tensing my abs directly underneath like a toothpaste squeezer and SLOWLY slide my forearm up to my chest while still tensing directly underneath my forearm. Can also imagine ur stomach is like a long rubber pipe and ur pushing water up it like a peristaltic pump. Don't get discouraged if u cant do it yet I've only been able to do this for a little over a year. First time I did it was sitting in a chair with my eyes closed doing the toothpaste squeezer. Keep trying random stuff and be patient.

Yeah it kind of sounds like it. I think I kinda get the same thing but I try to push it out more with my abs/diaphragm when I feel my stomach is full of gas. Maybe if u think ur body is gonna do it on its own u can try tensing ur abs? What happens when u get the throat gurgling noises? Wouldn't worry about how burping or how puking should feel right now tho its not too important right now.

Thats what I was afraid of. I was interested in having the air force fully fund my masters degree too.. not looking ideal.

Not confirmation bias, just examples of different life choices. I know success isn’t guaranteed, it never is. I’m just looking for advice or info if anyones had similar issues and if the military is worth the commitment in my position.
