Well this is day 7 post op and I thought my gas pains were done, but apparently it was just that I was out of gas-x...so it was helping after all. I am gaining my strength back and moving round a lot at this point but last night was the worst yet and just couldn't get comfortable. There have been other times where my stomach just seems unsettled, to the point I started eating a few whole wheat crackers to calm it (I know, I know, its probably too early for that but I dissolve then in my mouth before swallowing).

Does anyone else have a hard time figuring out if its gas, hunger or something else? Just feel weird most of the time and can't put my finger on it!

I am also 7 days post op. I get more of a bloated feeling and pain between my shouler blades. Have not taken any gas-X, just trying to walk around. I am only getting small amounts of liquids down, but then have to burp alot. Hope this gets better soon, I have 3 more days and then have to go back to work. Hope you feel better, good luck on your journey. :)

If you wait long enough, if it is hunger you will know it because you will be ready to eat your own leg! Using food to 'settle your stomach' is a habit you will want to start breaking...

What ever became of your situation? I am 6 days post op and I have the same thing with the stomach and the flip flopping at night. What did you do besides the crackers to help you?

I am 9 days post op & am just now feeling some gas relief. Gas x helps. Still lots of burping. I can drink Water but Protein drinks are harder.

Gas X will not help with gas used during surgery. That gas is in the abdominal cavity, not the intestine!!!!

I would say if you have to ask whether you're hungry or you are feeling gassy, bets are you are not hungry.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
