Thank u, the pain is really horrible

 

[Manapan]

Congrats! It gets better, I promise. I'm still exhausted a month out but no longer in pain unless I over do it. And even that is only in my infected surgical site, which has yet to close. I think you'll feel fine again soon. Rest and hydrate.

It gets better. Just don’t push yourself to do anything but get in 64 oz of fluids, walk around the dining room table quite a few times, and rest in between.

Congratulations! yes, the first day really sucks, but it gets better day by day. Just focus on staying hydrated and walking short distances frequently, don't worry about the other stuff, and you'll do fine.

Don't worry about eating this early out. Try for 64 oz of fluid/day - water, broth, sugar free popsicles, whatever goes down well. Try different temperatures of water. Jello didn't work for me but might for you, you won't know until you try it.

Simethicone. I was given these mint flavored chewable wafers of it and they work wonderfully for gas pains.

THe only thing that broke it up and got the gas out for me was walking. It didn’t take much, pacing back and forth for a few minutes got the burps up.

The gas takes time and walking. As for how much fluid, 64 oz a day minimum from now on.

I use simethicone. And it works. EXCEPT...for me anyway...simethicone does not treat the "gas" that is from the abdomen being inflated like a weather balloon for lap surgery (because that gas isn't in the area that simethicone can get to.) THAT cure is time. Ugh!
