Day 3 and Need Advice



Recommended Posts

I am now on day 3 and I can't lie, it's been rough. The pain of my incisions isn't that bad but I will for sure gets sharp pains at my incision sites if I move too quickly or cough.

The worst part is the gas and, I assume, the fake hunger pains . I've been walking a lot and that definitely helps. I threw up within the first 12 hours after surgery but haven't thrown up since. But dang am I nauseous! I have always had bad anxiety so I'm pretty sure that's making me more nauseous and uncomfortable.

Any tips to help with gas pains and also sleeping more comfortably?

Janarrt, thank you for the encouragement!! I got a few more hours asleep last night and I just woke up with barely any gas pain! I readjusted my pillows and that's making me a lot more comfortable. Can't wait to be a week out!!

It will get better day by day for sure. I recommend GasX strips and lots of walking. The walking is hard because you are tired and in pain and it is hard to find the motivation to get up and moving. But it genuinely does help a lot once you force yourself to do it.

@Sleeved_Grace just like Jamie Logical said, get yourself some GasX strips and keep them bad boys handy for the next few weeks. They are AMAZING! I still use them!

@@JamieLogical and @@Malin I got some gas x strips and holy cow do they do wonders! I've also learned that this nauseous feeling is really my body letting out gas and my new tummy adjusting with the changes. Thanks y'all!!

@@Sleeved_Grace Glad to hear you are already feeling better! It truly does get a little better every single day. It feels like eternity when you are in the moment, but two weeks from now you will look back and not believe how much progress you've made in your recovery in such a short period of time.

      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.
