I have been using a velcro binder thing that goes around my waist, and that helped me. Yesterday I couldn't walk until I had it. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like what works for me has worked for you so far. Are you keeping up with your pain meds?

I haven't had surgery yet, but the nurse in me says you may need your pain meds. If you can't go, are you staying hydrated, my surgery packet said Constipation is made worse with dehydration. Lastly you might benefit from a heating pad. I am so sorry you feel badly. Praying and hoping you find relief.

I know it is such a hit and miss process. I hope I handle my needs as well as you are doing. I still believe like"a happy camper"... You probably need more medications. If it does not stop so, call your team.

My team was very adamant that I stay on top of my pain medication, because, as they said "once it builds back up, it's difficult to get it under control again."

I'm two days out, still taking my pain and nausea meds, and wearing a binder while also bracing my stomach with my hands as I walk.

They give us the pain meds for good reason. One of our organs just got sliced in half and we got stabbed in the belly a whole bunch. It's okay to still rely on the medication to take the edge off, that's what it's there for. Also, if your body is tense and freaking out from being in pain, your body can't use that energy to also heal itself. Please be good to yourself, be careful, and get lots of rest and protein!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
