Day 1 and day 2. Not pretty. Not gonna lie. Walking is ok but getting up from bed is unbearable.

Hurts to drink anything burns really bad going down. Gas must be in there because my back and shoulder blades could use a massage.

The IV morphine did the trick but day 2 I have to try to drink more and not be nauseas.

Wish me luck

Hi I'm so sorry to hear your so uncomfortable aren't they giving u anything for pain? did u have a laproscopic or open procedure? I sure hope u start feeling better soon I'm still pre op so I won't say I know how u feel sending sympathy and prayers your way I hope it gets better for u

The pain medicine worked if it knocked me out but the gas pain in the shoulders was bad had I known I would have brought a tennis ball to rub my back against the wall that would of helped. But it's Saturday I'm home now and I'm fine. No pain meds at all except at bedtime and mine was laporoscopic. Happy days ahead!

Good morning Happy Mama. For me it was the gas. I walked three times in the morning, three times in the afternoon, and three times in the evening. I had my surgery on November 4th, and I came home on November 6th. It wasn't until Friday the 7th that I began passing gas and it was great!!! :-). Yesterday the 9th I had a bowel movement and I almost cried due to the joy!!! :-) :-). So for me that was the key to relief. The only discomfort now is from the staples, which pull at my skin. Also sitting upright with my feet on the floor helped with passing gas. It gets better. Hang in there!!! :-)
