Oh the abdomen pain is real

[Cherie562 10]

I am 4 days post and my tummy hurts! The larger of my incisions is on the upper right side of my abdomen and is so swollen it's like a knot. Add in the never-ending bloating and gas pain...geesh. To add insult to injury my Dr. Decided to change my BP MEDS to one with no diuretic at discharge. I think that's the reason for the horrible bloat. Because of bloat & gas I seem to be gaining. This is depressing

Dont get discouraged yet ! At 1 month post op you *may* forget the pain ever existed and see some notable changes 💜

The first two weeks can be pretty rough. Hang in there ❤️

I’m hurting too!!! They gave me children’s tylenol to take, Cherry flavored. It’s absolutely disgusting and I can’t even choke it down. So a few days post op I refused to take it anymore. Well now I’m on day 6 and I’m forcing myself to gag it down because I know I need it for the inflammation inside my stomach. Everything hurts. I cried myself to sleep last night because of my pain. I don’t want to lose my strength. But if I try to do too much then I’m screwed. I hope your pain is better.
