I have lots of gas and my stomach feels like it is growling!!!!

Completely normal! I had the same thing and it stopped after a day or 2.

Use a heating pad, walk frequently and just remember this is all temporary. You'll progressively start feeling better.

I'm a little growly, too -- just had some nice salty broth and my stomach is trying to thank me out loud. The walking has been so great for me and also arms way up in the air, some windmills while walking to get any trapped gas moving out.

Don't forget the pain meds - they saved me, it was a tough experience and honestly - it's exactly two weeks today and I had a pretty good day. The weight isn't dropping off me, I think my body believes I'm going to feed it bread, sugar, Cookies and ice cream... but i'm NOT, so it can hold on to this weight but I know it's going to cave sooner or later - just keep the course.

Some have said that the pain meds didn't help their gas pains, it helped my pains, so not sure if it was gas or nerve, doc said it was more nerve then gas b/c of the HH repair.

Regardless - take it easy and be well!

Thanks so much for letting me know!!!!!! What kind of chewable vitamins has everybody got for this. I have the multi vitamins from the doctor but they said I needed chewable but my mom got citracal gummies they seemed to cramp me alittle.

I'm still pre op until tomorrow! But anyways I was told that the gummy vitamins could get stuck so I had to run out and grab different chewable vitamins! I guess my kids will have to take te gummy ones I bought!
