i was inpain till day 10 thatsnormal walk around it helps alot

Thanks raindrop

I am about a month out now and for and it was about a week and a half before I was really able to even come close to getting in enough fluids. Your stomach is very swollen, but once that goes down, it'll help. Until that happens, you're just supposed o take in as much as you can.

Walking does help relieve the gas pains.

Get some rest just keep sipping take your pain meds and allow your body to heal. It will get better

U can also try sucking ice that really help me alot.

Kaela how long where you in pain

Im still having pain where my hernia was repaired but my stomach pain went away around day five. My throat was really sore from the tube so the ice help my throat and help me get my fluids. Today is the first day I could drink and get all my Proteins and fluids in.

I was sore for about 7-10 days, but I didn't feel it was unbearable unless I was trying to bend over. I was ready to go back to work after 2 weeks but my boss wouldn't let me because I can't lift over 10lbs for a month!!! I have 5 more days to go until work! So bored!

I think everyone should at least take 5-7 days off to adjust but I know that's not always possible. Best of luck to u!

And yeah, it's normal not to be able to really drink a lot first couple days. Ur still swollen

Thanks wallflower I'm feeling better today I'm trying to drink a shake right now I just don't seem to be able to drinking before I start feeling full or hurting not sure which one it is if this makes sense

Yeah I know what u mean. I barely drank anything the first week. My mom was on my ass the whole time!! It worked itself out day by day. Watch, next week you'll be complaining ur starving!
