Walk as much as you can and nap when you are tired. When you are not napping or walking, try to be sitting up rather than lying down. Lying down doesn't help get rid of the surgical gas, it keeps it trapped. Take your pain meds on schedule. Yes you are going to be bloated for a while, not just from gas but from the IV fluids. Stay off the scale for the next few weeks at least or it will drive you nuts.

Lol. ..ok. thank you so much for the information I appreciate it I've just leaned over my sink in the bathroom and to just kind of try to see if the gas will come out

I had some pretty bad gas pains, laying down was the worst bc it felt like all the air sat right in my shoulders and I couldn't take a deep breath. I think the only thing that helps is moving around (like walking or just changing positions frequently when resting) and time. Took a while, like 5 days to totally get rid of that feeling. I had surgery the 12th and the pounds are just falling off, I'm down almost 15 pounds since surgery day, I follow the recommended diet very closely.

That's koo and congrats on ur weight loo I'm proud of you. N thx for the tips
