So I am 3 days out and am trying my hardest to get my fluid in (cant even think about protein yet). I can only seem to keep my water down if i drink it while walking. If I am standing or am siting while drinking the pain of it moving into my tummy is almost unbearable and the nausea comes on full force. Does this end, will i be able to sit and sip soon?

I know i still have a lot of gas roaming around inside me still and my upper back is killing me. Is the gas causing the drinking issue too?

Anyone have any suggestions about helping with back pain as well?

Tmi time....but boy i would love to have a nice big toot[emoji20]

Just walk. That is the only way you are going to get relief from the gas pain. It isn't normal gas, it is the gas they use to raise your organs to make surgery easier. Just walk.

I'm sorry you're experiencing this. Not everyone does. If walking is the way to get in your water, then walk away! Please consult your surgical team too. Good luck!

I also found it easier to sip as I walked. Within a couple more days it will get better. Congrats on the surgery!

Try varying the temperature of what you are drinking. Sometimes, I needed room temperature. Sometimes ice cold. Often within hours of each other. You've got this.

Thanks everyone
