Today is day 4 post op. on feeling somewhat better but not good. Lots of gas today. Am able to get in about 4 ounces of protein shake so far. But the kicker, my cycle came on this morning. Now I'm dealing with hurting from that and the surgery. I just keep telling myself if I can make it thru this week next week will be so much better. Hope everyone else is doing well.

That is one thing, for sure, that each day gets better and better. I was blessed not to have too much gas pain and my cycle came right before my surgery.

Her's wishing you less pain, each and every day!

You and I are in the same boat then, at least for the most part. I'm day 4 post op as well and wishing I felt better than I do. My cycle is just around the corner and with the excess weight from swelling and gas I really wish it wasn't right now. The first day or so I got more liquids:/proteins in but it has really slowed. I'm beginning to wonder if I may become lactose intolerant because the Protein shakes that I love so much are tearing my tiny tummy up. I hope that you begin to feel better soon. I am trying to walk a little everyday and walked a mile this morning which I think helps with the gas. Lets hope for better days ahead for both of us. Nobody ever said this would be easy right?

Your right. But I can barely walk from bed to the bathroom. I hear everyone say walk but I can't. Hurts too bad. Just keep hoping for the beat.

Try Gas X Strips for the gas, they worked well for me.

Thank you for the GasX tip. Trying my first one now!

You really need to try to walk. Believe it or not, it WILL help relieve that gas pain. I just made little circles arounbeef the first day, then my room, then the family room, etc. I hope you feel better soon.

The gas-x strips did help but I think walking does as well. Both provided some much needed relief!

Use 2 strips at a time also use a heating pad. Such great relief! This to shall pass!

Walking did wonders for me!!!!! I skipped a day of what my fiance calls yard time where I walk around my house and backyard for 10 min and I didn't feel much better the next day. I started walking again and poof!!! I felt a million times better the next day!!!! Give it time. I'm only a week postop but I'm up a moving around with little to no help
