I'm 7 days post op

I went to the grocery store and then TJ Max. I was out for only an hour and a half.

I came back with such a full feeling I thought I was gonna explode.

I didn't eat anything, the last thing I ate was hours before ( Protein pudding I had been working on all day)

I was just wondering if being out that long and walking around like that made my stomach produce more Gas?

It felt like I ate a horse lol

It went away after3 hours or so, and made its way out, but dang that hurt

you are still having the anethesia wear off, etc from being in the hospital if you are only 7 days post op...so that will happen on occasion as your body adjusts... the walking should have helped... if it lasts for a long time, and you get no relief, talk to your doctor, they may prescribe something like gas-x or prilosec to get you through.

Congrats!

Chewable Gas-X was my constant companion for a couple weeks post-op. It helps a lot!

It could just be your stomach swelling Especially in the healing stage it can get aggravated and swell at times.

The best advice I got from this forum and my doctor was walk walk walk. I went way out of my way and started quick and got back up to 12 miles a day. Now its cold so I'm not as active.

It's really cold lately here (NH)

Today was great 37 and no wind so I took advantage of that.

But my PT told me at the hospital not to walk in 32 degree or under weather. I can't remember why I was half out of it lol

But I've been trying to keep up
