Coming out of surgery I was in a LOT of pain from the gas so I started walking immediately. Then they have me some gas meds and it helped tremendously! They kept me loaded up with nausea & pain meds and I was able to get up and walk around by myself. Today I came home about 2 and have been trying to get comfortable since. Tried the bed and that was a big no no! Not enough support! So I've been moving around the couch quite a bit. I was also given 3 liquid prescriptions. They all taste awful and it is so hard to get down when you are only allowed little sips. So I've had my own little stash of zofran, gas x, & Tylenol extra strength that I've been crushing and swallowing. They say each day get better and so far that has proved true for me!

Love the positive attitude! Keep it up! and it never stops getting better!

Yep, the first few days were the toughest for me, too. It was hard to get comfortable sleeping, hard to get rid of the gas pain, but walking around really does help, and chewable Gas-X helped me too.

Keep up the positive attitude and keep moving your body...I firmly believe it's the fastest way to get rid of the pain, plus you'll probably sleep better too.

Thanks for the tips!
