Hi guys can someone help me? I am still in a lot of pain but I am not sure if I am hungery or its gas. I ate a little but I don't know again if I am full or just in pain. I am so tired. HELP ME WHAT IS MY BODY SAYING ?

Hi tried to drink your shakes and chicken broth often at least every 2 hours 2 oz also drink water it help a lot , keep drinking you pain medication as prescribed by you doctor, it must be gas if is a shoulder pain, the sugar free popsicles help also hope you feel better, keep walking at least 10 minutes three times at day it help a lot with the pain!!

It all sounds normal...I had my surgery eight days ago. The first three days were the hardest. Like you said, hard to tell if it is hunger cramps or pain....they both hurt!! Just keep trying to get tiny sips of liquid down. I used Gatorade, took all day to get one bottle down. On day three it seemed like everything suddenly opened, could drink much better.

My surgery was Tuesday morning. Had a rough night, gas pain and not able to sleep. I had a nice nap this afternoon, took a few walks, chicken broth, gas x, and cold water, feeling much better tonight. I have also used an ice pack and it seems to help as well. My biggest complaint has been a horrible sore throat from the tube. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks guys also I joined the gym today do you know when I start working out I am think I'm about 4 weeks

You should be able to do treadmill mow, but ask your doc about strengthening exercises

The shoulder gas pain is bad I'm 10 days post op still when i lay down the shoulder starts. my Surgeon encourged me to eat those gas ex pills. They help. I am far past sipping liquid goes down easy staying well hydrated. But too fast causes the gas.
