I want to thank everyone in this site--it's so nice to have people be so open and honest about this journey! I'm on post op day #3....today has been the WORST for has pains! My left clavicle area the most painful of all. A friend told me to try activated charcoal pills....I think they helped! I has tried gasx, baby gas drops and Tums-nothing helped! I've also been walking around the block 1-2 times about 2-3 times per day. Still just eating broth, thinned down cream of chicken soup and jello. Tried thinned cream of wheat this am....2 bites and I was FULL and MORE BLOATED!!! Concentrating on water intake-which is going good! Heading back to work tomorrow--- hoping for a quick day! Thanks for all the advice and support on here! Have a great week everyone!

I'm a 26th bandster too! Congrats on being on the other side. Still dealing with gas pains but it comes and goes. Just being up and moving seems to help the most. Good luck!
