So my surgery was Monday (june 27) at 10pm. and even though I sip sip sip and walk. all I seem to do is burp. will I ever fart I feel like the major pressure in my stomach is my inability to pass gas. Also my nurse told me not to use Gas x yet .

Yes you will. I burped for 2 days before the fireworks began.

It takes a little while for your intestines to wake up......but they will! :-)

Those little noises, embarrassing companions, but they will start. I do make some interesting sounds sometimes. Thankfully only audible to me.

Yep, they should start very soon. Once they do, they don't stop.

Are you still taking pain meds? If you are, then it is going to take longer for your intestines to start working properly again.

It took me 4-5 days to fart. And when I did, it was awesome.

Wish Perrier was aloud. would resolve half of my issue.. one big burp not tinny ones

Yeah it will start soon and is an amazing feeling
