I've had so many food intolerances before I had this surgery. Milk was a huge one. Having milk now and OMG it's settling my gas pains. Wow. Just went for a walk as well. It's cold outside and I think I have phlegm on my chest so trying to stay up as much as possible.

I made it to the losers bench. Surgery was yesterday

Gas pain was no jokw

@@flesteresq welcome!!! The gas is real!

On my way to work! Feeling well. I may only put in a half day but it feels good to get back to life. Good luck to all!

GAS SUCKS - I was ready for heroin to stop the pain. Walking and moving made it better.... No joke walking is huge and really helps. Fluids drink slow and don't gulp...... Not to cold or sweet ----- it gets better I slept on my side last night with a pillow splint and slept like a baby

I'm new to using this site. Is there a way to "friend" people so we can follow each others progress?

Click on a person's name in a thread. It will bring you to their profile. On the right hand side it says "Add Me As Friend"

If you're going to cough place a pillow over your stomach and hold it.

I have been! It's just scary! @@SAL421 Thank you! It just feels like everything is coming apart when I do. Same as when I had a c-section and appendectomy.
