You guys are right, each day has gotten better since surgery and so far day 3 has been no different, although this is the day it got ALOT better!

Last night I was in pain again so I took lortab and a couple Gas-X strips before going to bed. I knew the lortab would help me sleep but didn't have a lot of faith in the Gas-X accomplishing anything. Wow, was I wrong! 4 hours later I literally woke myself up in the middle of the night with the greatest passing of wind the world has probably ever known. Seriously, I wish I had a stopwatch handy because it had to have been some kind of record for the sheer duration of it. I can't say my wife was as impressed as I was but my dog certainly seemed to be.

And just like that, almost all my pain was gone! The new only pain I feel now is the incisions and that is very minor and completely tolerable.

Sorry to be crude but this was a milestone in feeling better for me and I'm just sharing my experiences as they come. I hope the rest of you who have had surgery recently are feeling better today also.

lol!

This is wonderful! I know the feeling as I'm sure many others here do as well. Go you! Lol

Lol!!! I'm glad you're feeling better!!

Just had to laugh at this, especially re: the dog part!

LOL!

This made me LOL. Thanks for the laugh

Hilarious!

Lol oh I know what you mean!

Haha! Too funny! Definatly know what you mean tho!

Ohhh...I bet that was the best. So glad you felt better after and keep that sense of humor.

That's good to know I'm on day 2 and can't sleep very good at all. I had my first surgery on the 9th but had a blockage and had to go back in on Friday the 12th.... Hoping things will get better soon

Oh my gosh this post is not good for me! I'm three days post op and it hurts so much to laugh but this post is just hilarious!!!

On another note, I havent been able to find gasx. Where are you buying it? No trouble getting small burps from the top, but nothing's passing below lol

Thanks for the laugh!

I got my gas x strips at Walmart

@@Don Packer- it should get better. Hang in there the tough days are almost over.

@MrsMurky721- I got mine at Walgreens.

Something else to keep in mind: if you are eating sugar free Popsicles they Could causing additional gas if they contain sugar alcohol. (Almost every variety I checked had it in the ingredients so I stopped using them and gas has reduced greatly in days 3-5)
