Drink and walk. I was so glad I was warned about the gas pains which can be piercing. Knowing what they were kept me calm and walking. Follow your instructions and clarify anything you are not sure about before you leave. Wish you the very best.

@@Tamika Walk. A lot. As soon as you can and as much as you can. The most pain I had was from the gas from the surgery. Once that was gone, the rest was a piece of celery. :)

Update us once you can. I hope surgery went well and you are having an easy recovery! Gas pains lasted a few days after discharge. Walking was the only way to keep it moving for me. First day post op is the worst and should improve everyday. Best to you! Looking forward to hearing about your progress! Welcome to the losers bench!

My doctor also fixed a Hernia I had which I was unaware I had so I think that contributed to my pains as well...But it is all worth it!!! I can't wait to reach my Milestones

Congrats on your surgery!!! Sounds like we could be twins!! I'm 26, never had any major surgeries, or comorbidities either. My pain all comes from my back and joints too haha have you noticed any of you joint and back pain subsiding? It may be too early to tell I suppose. That's what I'm looking forward to though.

@@srayl61 I can't wait until I can be active and not have joint pain that is one of my many Goals! But as of right now now it actually hurts a bit right now because my body is really sore...i also had a Hernia repaired at the same time as my RNY and I'm still in quite a bit of pain

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
