That sounds like gas. Try this, while laying in bed roll from your left side to your back, wait about 30 seconds and roll to your right side and stay there for 30 seconds. Keep rotating every 30 seconds or so. I got rid of gas really quickly when I discovered this method.

Thanks

I just had mine Friday too. Walk, walk, walk, and when you get tired wait a little and walk some more. I have been walking about once an hour and now that it is bedtime, once every 2 hours. I have very little pain now verses early (was almost in tears).

I just had mine to you Friday Nov 18. Thanks l will walk it out.

Mine hurt terribly on the left side, this is the area the stomach that was cut away was removed through, even after nearly 4 weeks I still have small bruising around the site. Don't worry each day is a learning day and it does get better. God Bless and I pray for a speedy recovery for you.

Walk, Walk, Walk,- drink you something warm and use a heating pad in your back... DO NOT DRINK ANYTHING WITH MILK!!!!

God Bless and keep you. I'm about 5 weeks out and pain is no longer an issue. If your docs gave you post op pain relievers use them, in these early days, it helps with the walking and moving. Tylenol or smething like that also helped me when I didn't want to use stronger pain meds. As with all advice may sure it's OK with your doctor.

Feel better soon!

Today I had some cream of wheat and it didn't hurt going down I started to drink some Crystal Light and it's been okay but I don't have any Protein stuff finally picked up four grams of protein from some creamy wheat

I am new to this forum. Had my surgery on November 16th. Amazingly did not have any pain. Was discharged home next day and go back to work this Monday. My two week post-op diet ending Wednesday, but I am so busy at the office that I am not sure how I will be able to manage drinking every time.
