My advice is to walk as much as possible because you need to get the excess gas out and walking is the best way. Also, it is important to know that for a lot of people the amount of nausea in the beginning is directly related to the amount of pain meds you need. If you need the pain meds by all means take them but make sure they are following them up with an ant nausea med like Zofran. Good Luck, enjoy the journey it's not always easy but it gets better as time goes by, stay positive.

thank you for all the advice. Excited for the journey. Will be here for valuable input and information.

Walk... Walk... Walk.... Proud of you for taking such a big step! Last year we joked that yours would be this year... Well, ha ha ha, you really did it!

i am excited to be on this journey.
