Gas is crazy in da beginning, deep breathin.. n sitting up helps

walking moves the gas faster. Walk, walk, walk. Dr told me to get up every 2 hrs and walk.

Walk and swing your arms in circles while you do. You need to keep moving.

I agree with the other ladies, plus when you are sitting place your arms over your head and bend at the elbow to the other side of your body. Then take slow deep breaths in and it will help open up your diaphragm and relieve gas pains. Cheers to your recovery

Gas was the entire problem for me and it cleared up mostly on day 8 and was completely gone on day 9. I highly suspect the milk in the Protein shakes. Believe I stopped them on day 7 because it seemed to cause an instant reaction. Not ruling out coincidence, but like to throw it out there in case it helps someone.

I did start mushies early (day 7 same day I stopped the shakes). Started tuna and egg salad with club crackers. Probably not smart, but I sure feel better now and I simply couldn't take it anymore. With pre-op that was 3 weeks of liquids and was at the end of my rope.

I'm hours into my surgery, an left shoulder is what seems to b gassy. However now when I breath in, chest hurts? Like gas or air on my chest I suppose. Is that gas as well or chest pain I need to worried about? An call someone about immediately?
