How do I reduce these gas pains and the pain from the incisions !!! 😩 driving me crazy

Walk as much as possible! It's the best way to get the gas moving out. The incisions just have to heal. If they bother you when moving, try using a small pillow to splint, or apply pressure, when getting up or sitting down.

Thank you!!! I’ve been trying to get up as much as possible since it’s the only thing that seems to help. Besides this is grateful that for now I can keep my fluids down without feeling sick it’s been a big help

Do the incisions hurt without movement or when you flex your abdomen in any way? If the latter, hold a pillow against yourself.

.

... As an aside, as I write this I am in a gym parking lot and on my list of weights this evening are hoist abdominal crunches at 205 lbs for 36 reps total... So don't worry, it'll go away eventually then you can look forward to post workout pains.

Sometimes for example when I’m sleeping the smallest movements even if it’s tilting a little it causes it to hurt that’s when I would take a pain med and it would relax the pain for some time but its getting better everyday that passes

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
