i'm having those same abrupt pains in my stomach and i'm pretty sure they are hunger pains. i've never felt hunger like this before. on another note, my cough that i developed the day before surgery has come back in full force. sometimes i feel like my incision is going to rip open.

i'm still sleeping on my recliner - this is the 3rd night. i tried to sleep in my bed, but it's still too uncomfortable for me. are you sleeping normally yet?

gas x helped me yesterday but i had to take two. the gas pain has been in my chest. i still have the shoulder pain a little, but this is my third day out and i can honestly say that i feel a little better than yesterday. i really wanted to just lay and cry when i got home i was hurting so bad. i've been on lortab since i came home. it helps so much, but knocks me out. i'm sleeping on the recliner - which with 5 kids running around the house, isn't a very comfortable or relaxing situation.

i had my surgery on 7/28 also. the gas is killing me yet today!! i've been walking a few times, but my stomach is so sore and i still get dizzy. everytime i drink something, it feels like i have to burp, but it won't come up and this searing pain in my chest happens. i've been taking gas ex, but i'm getting frustrated.
