    Don't forget to advocate for yourself. If you're not comfortable or in pain, speak up! I remember one nurse asked my pain level (Standard 1 through 10) and I was like F***ING 15! I didn't leave them

    Yesterday was a little tough for sure. Today is starting out better and I know once the anesthesia is out of my system I will feel even better. Happy and excited to be on the other side!

    That’s exactly how I was right after surgery. They tried to get me to eat a red popsicle and drink some red Powerade. I threw it up. Looked like blood and I freaked out! Funny now, wasn’t funny then!

Yesterday was rough for me as well. Didn’t get any fluid in, lots of gas pains and nausea/dry heaving. Today is better still having gas pain, but getting some fluids in. 7 oz so far since about 7:30. Getting to go home soon also.

That’s good! eh I’ve had an okay day...this gas is no joke. It’s getting the best of me. I need relief! Nothing is helping.

Everyone swears that walking is the best thing for the gas. Not sure if that worked for me or not, but it helped with the soreness.

Yeah I have been walking a lot, using gas x and a heating pad. So far the warm shower and heating pad seem to help the best. My pain meds don’t help much

Most of my gas was through burping! Didn’treally expect that. Thought it would come the other way! Lol.
