Hey guys I was discharged yesterday! Surgery was 9-8-16. I'm having a hard time distinguishing pain. Well what I'm almost certain is gas pains! I've done my 30cc of liquid as garlic Water, gas X stripes and benefiber. I feel the bubbling but it's not coming out. And let me tell you, the baby burps that I am experiencing, just can't be enough!

Any tips?

Walk, walk, walk for gas pain. It usually refers to your back and or shoulders. The surgical pain for me was below where my largest incision was. That takes time but was very manageable.

Walking and just moving around.

Walking is the BEST for the pain.

Just in case it hasn't been mentioned yet , the doctors and nurses recommend walking to alleviate the gas discomfort.

Congratulations on your surgery.

I was miserable and in pain but I couldn't get myself to walk because I was miserable and in pain. It's tough to walk while you are nauseated but the more you walk, the better you will feel. Walk or sit up straight.

I love garlic, but maybe some of the pain is from the garlic Water??? I'm not sure, but your tummy might be sensitive to it right now. Just a guess.
