Hi Kitty

Your feelings are pretty normal right out of surgery. The best way to get rid of gas pain is to walk it off. You are doing te right thing.

I had a difficult time with liquid or Water intake until my NUT made the following suggestion:

On the even hours, starting at 8am, drink 4 ounces of Protein shake out of a small Dixie cup

On the odd hours, starting at 9am, drink 4 ounces of water or liquid out of a small Dixie cup

Continue all day until you meet protein and liquid goals

i found this easier to do than trying to drink a glass or bottle of Fluid in any one sittine. It also spread the protein intake throughout the day. Worked well for me

it does get better!
