    Day 4 and gas pains are still killing me. Lot of unproductive burps & I noticed that my bladder doesn't give me the signal that I need to urinate. Could this be due to gas? Has anyone else had this problem?

    I do too...its the most comfortable sometimes. Although I think being too comfy caused me to not move around as much as I should. Im forcing myself to get up more. I went to Khols today for half an hour....it helped...although I was a nervous wreck someone was gonna run into me. Tomorrow...just around the block...less people to worry about!
