Hello All--I am home from my Dec 14 sugery. Everything was well and I am not hungry I am working really hard to drink protein and water. I never thought I would not be hungry after going all of these days without actually chewing and swallowing this is a good thing. My only problem maybe someone can give me some advice. I have walked, rocked and taken gas-x (extra strength) My gas I can hear moving around in there my stomach is noticeably distended. Has anyone ever heard of drinking water mixed with baking soda? I am in pain from the gas more than from the incisions any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Walking, Taking the Gas X, dinking plenty of water, and laying on your side is what I have been told

Peppermint tea!!!!! I had a really bad attack from the gas yesterday - had to get hubby to come in and pick me up from work. Only thing that really worked for me was peppermint tea and a lay down. Pain started at 10 in the morning and by 1 that afternoon I was in tears. By about 7 last night I was fine and able to eat something.
