I take gas-x chewable extra strength. I take 2 tablets every 12 hours and haven’t had gas since and I’m only 5 days post op. Walking or just moving in general helps a lot. It gets easier. Day 2 and 3 I’ve only downs a bottle of Water and a Protein Shake. Day 4 and 5 I got 2 Protein Shakes and 2 bottles of water. Just sip it over time. I sometimes have to put it back in the fridge and take a break. It takes me at least 2 hours to finish one but I’m getting 64 grams of Protein a day. My fluids I haven’t quite hit yet. I only get about 40 out of 64. But any progress is better than no progress.

Your first 2 weeks after surgery(for most, not all) is a liquid diet so Water, Protein Shakes, chicken broth. Maybe invest in a cooler and just buy ice every once in awhile to keep things cold? Just trying to throw out suggestions.

My body tends to only tolerate flavored water as opposed to plain Water. Low sodium chicken broth has been a life saver!

So I read everyday on this site. 90% of what I read is negative, for most people things are going to be ok.
I had major hernia surgery the same time I had my by pass surgery. I had to stay in the hospital five days. So my struggles are maybe not the same as others but I do have them.
I feel great, I’m able to walk everyday, get all my required Protein and Water down each day. Everyday seems better for me.
I feel my life is under control and moving in a positive direction. Life is not always fair, but when your given a second chance, you better grab hold and fight like hell to overcome your obstacles.

Glad you are still around. so,i got to meet you if only online😝
