So sorry you are feeling this way! Are you having nausea? I had nausea real bad. Also at first you may not handle the liquids as well because everything is still swollen and it just needs time to heal. Small sips my friend and nausea meds, and for the gas, for me I took 2 chewable Gas-X tabs along with a bit of walking; that really helped me. The first week can be a bit rough but it starts to get much much better by week 2; for me days 3 and 4 being the worst. That being said, I did still suffer a bit of nausea and gas pain the second week, just knew how to handle it better. I realized that I needed to take my vitamin only after I had soup or something in my stomach; I had given up trying to get the vitamins down for that 1st week. Hang in there and know you may not get your fluid goal met right at first, just do the best you can. Hugs

I’m 4 days post op and i was experiencing the same thing. Today was easier and I felt like I could handle it. Hang in there!

Thank you so much for the advice.

Thankful I’m not the only person having a hard time the gas is something else! I try and sit up for the most part but I find myself just wanting to lay down. Still sore and swollen but looking forward to the light at the end of the tunnel
