I had my surgery Tuesday and I'm feeling almost normal. I'm just not sure about my eating and drinking, I'm not thirsty or hungry but I am eating and drinking what I can. Any advice on what I should be trying to do to get more food and drink down?

Are you eating solid foods already??

No just my liquid diet but it's really hard because im not hungry.

When you drink, do you feel like you are pushing down air? I had my surgery Monday..and I still have so much gas!

The gas really isn't bad I have been walking a lot and using a heating pad.

Gas has been the only problem for me. I am on liquids also and feel that every time I drink, I'm filling up with air again! It's so painful!

Just keep sipping ... You need those fluids. Welcome to the other side!!

I can't stand this gas! I certainly feel like Im filling up with air also! I just got off the phone with my doctor, they said it's normal, and walk more, but I walk my dog all day, and still pain!

It's normal.... I know it's hard but I promise it won't last forever.....keep walking...

The gas pressure is normal. My gas x stips helps with that though. For the 1st week my doctor told me to just make sure I was getting enough water in- sip all day long- 2 oz ever 15 min - set a timer if I had to. The last thing you want is to get dehydrated- that will only cause you more pain and nausea- I went there and it was horrible. You will get to the place it is easier and then you can concentrate more on your protein shakes.

My surgery was Tuesday. I just got home now. My gas pain is starting. My dr. said when I drink my 3-4 oz I shouldn't gulp it but drink it over 15 mins. And walk. The PA said gas x is ok but not mentioned by them bc the gas is between the organs or something like that not in its usual place. But I might try a gas x bc it's not off limits. The holistic nurse gave me a chinese massage. Ask someone to massage your shoulders and run your back to get the gas moving.
