I'm in constant pain. Still can't get rid of the gas. Haven't really slept since the surgery. Nauseous all the time and having trouble drinking fluids. Please tell me this gets better

It does....I am 6 days post op and have been feeling better every day. Use your pilow to support your tummy. Sip, sip, sip....tiny amounts but frequently. I still have not reached the daily fluid or protein goal that they set for me. Still trying though. Good luck.

I'm 9 days post op and yes it does get better. I'm still struggling with my fluid and protein requirements but I'm getting better everyday. Hang in there!

I am 6 days post op I am getting better I feel good and all I can say is sip sip sip .Good Luck to you

I'm 10 days post op , no more pain , dropped 16 pounds! Starting to exercise waking 45 minutes ! Good luck remember keep walking for the gas pains ! I would get up every 30 minutes and walk helps ALOT!!!!!!

I am 4 days post op and yes, it gets better.

WALK! - I came out of recovery and I walked every hour. I measured by the tv programs, lol. One ended, I walked. Laps around the floor at the hospital. It really does help to alleviate the gas in there. Gas x strips, I hear, are great in assisting with relief. I've seen on other posts where people used a heating pad to alleviate some of the pain/gas.

I had mild nausea, but got it under control pretty quick. The nurses were great to give me something for it. By the time I would begin to feel nausea coming on, I would maybe have an episode, and they were there putting stuff in my I.v. again.

It will get better!

Good luck!

3 days post op here . No major pain issues but gas is still there. I can feel a bubble forming in the lower abdomen and rising to my stomach and then it gets painful. I need to take a big breath in and out to aleviate the pain. I feel like a big air bubble where i just want to somehow deflate myself with a needle . I wish i could at least pass gas but thats been a challenge as well.

3 days here also. Gas has starred to go (walked a lot). Also little sleep. Taking pills is anxiety for me. I feel it go down and sit there then some strange pain and I think pill drops in??? Keep thinking I am a mess. Trying to finish first protein beverage today. Hubby went and got me sippie cup to help slow down how much went down. Seems to help. Most of it is anxiety

It gets much better, just take it day by day.

Thanks everyone. My surgeon upped my pain Meds and gave me anti nausea pills which have at least stopped me from dry heaving. I'm now thinking I should have taken the option to stay in the hospital for the extra night!

I used a heating pad on my stomach and would hold it when i moved it seemed to work real well.I am 6 days and I just walk and walk it seems to be helping my fluid intake is good and I have hardly any pain .I used a pill cup or a shot glass to sip my fluid intake so I did not go to fast .I sipped a 1 onuce every 15 to 20 minutes and now it is so much better .I did not have a hospital stay at all I satayed the first night at a motel then went back for fluid and then came home .
