Gas Pain Day 3?

[Michele T 48]

This morning my tummy felt like it was going down a little but this afternoon it's blown up again. sipping Water, Isopure and had a Popsicle. Is this normal?

Totally normal, from what I've been told and have experienced so far. I'm 5 days post op. However, my doctor says no Protein until day 7 so my drinks are still in the fridge.

Sounds pretty normal to me. I'm 18 days post op. Your stomach and body will do all sorts of things during the first week and gas/wind/excess air are usually the culprit. Take it easy on the Protein drinks in the first week. Our already swollen stomachs don't seem to be a fan of them so early on..Concentrate more on the water/clear fluids for a few days and lots of walking. Any sudden prolonged pain,consult your doctor.

Good luck with your recovery
