Anyone else had trouble going to the toilet? I was told I was a super star the first day - onto Clear liquids and toileting fine a few hours out. 2nd day though they took me off the IV, gave me really gluggy paracetamol and then I was so bloated and gassy I couldnot drink a single thing or go to the toilet for 8 hours. Finally peed eventually but hadn't expressed wind. Finally last night and today I have started to release the gas for the first time but find as soon as I have one 60ml nourishing fluids I'm full and gassy and done for hours. Also I have to sit and wait at least 10min on the toilet to pee. Anyone else having these problems? Any solutions to relieving gas or not taking so long to pee. Been small sipping peppermint Water and walking as much as I can. Wounds arent too sore, it's the bloating that's killing me. Just got home from hospital and scared a little! Don't wanna mess this up!

Always have water with you and ambulate! You need to get your body functioning after the surgery, going 8 hours+ without urination isn't good if it persists you should contact your surgeon. I used gas x to break up gas and it helped. Along with moving and getting blood flowing. Everytime I felt uncomfortable I just walked until I couldn't anymore. That helped too because it tired me out so I just slept through all the pain and discomfort
