Four Days Post-Op...

I'm for days post-op and I'm still experiencing gas pain. I feel pressure just underneath my breast/top of my torso. It makes it difficult to find a comfortable position to sit/sleep. I've already reached out to my WLS community on Instagram. They recommend: walking, herbal tea, Gas X strips and using a heating pad.

I decided to post on this platform to gain anymore suggestions. I know this is part of the process but if there are any methods to alleviate gas pain I would like to try it out. The pain isn't severe enough to call my surgeon. It is most just nagging.

Okay so this sounds normal. Walking is the major key to get through this. I will continue to push myself more. Thanks! [emoji4]

I ran laps around my nurses while in the hospital. They couldn't keep up with me. Lol. So far premier Protein Shakes make me extremely nauseous. I mix unflavored whey protein with zero calorie Powerade. And no bm on my end either.

Wow. Really? Never heard of those. Where did you buy them?

You can buy the baby gas drops at any Wal-Mart or drug store. I had my surgery on Tuesday. Other than the soreness and this gas that creeps up from time to time to hide in my shoulders I'm good. I feel so bloated after having 2 sips of anything....hopefully that feeling goes away...and no bm here either...I think that's a lot of my bloating :/
