Im getting ready to start my walking. This is more painful than I expected, please reassure me that this is normal. When I swallow gatorade 2 or water it burns like I have an ulcer. Ugh!

im not going to lie. the first week is hell. gas pains, stomach pains, can barely drink or get any food down. but walk and drink water, lots and lots of water. did i mention walk? walk.

those are my tips for surviving. it was normal for me

Get well soon ?

I also had my surgery on the 15th, I'm home now and trying to walk as much as possible. I splint my stomach with a small pillow while I'm walking and that helps with the pain.

All normal!!! Tiny sips burnt like HELL.

Gas pain was AGONY.

I was tearfull & full of regret.

Day 11 post op & I feel completely recovered!! Eating three small liquid meals & drinking plenty.

Take it easy on yourself you will recover beautifully if you give yourself no expectations other than to rest up & take things steady.
