Thanks for FINALLY updating. I was getting worried. heating pad works also for the gas pains. It helped me alot. How is your stomach? I felt like i had done a 1000 crunches. Glad u are doing ok. Also for sleeping I found a body pillow has helped laying in bed.

When I woke up after surgery I looked at my husband and said "what the hell have I done" but like u it got better .. U have been in my thoughts and I'm so proud for u

Thanks so much ladies! I am feeling MUCH BETTER TODAY. The gas FINALLY started ..... coming out around 3am this morning. I walked circles yesterday and last night.....and did extra laps before I went to bed last night.

I am getting hungry though.....and I am not big on sweets so all the sugars...or fake sugars are really getting old...lol...but I will do as I am told by the doctor. This is to important not to.

What pain meds did your doctors give you? Mine only gave tylenol 3 and honestly.....seems to do NOTHING. Just curious.

Glad your doing well, and yes the first few days are really tuff! My doc gave me tylenol 3 also and I had a lot of nausea so I had phergan and than zoforan. I think the nausea and gas were worst for me. First day I felt great than day 2 and 3 I thought I was going to die. lol but I didn't. Get some rest. stay well hydrated, take your pain meds and keep moving. You are on your journey now. Good Luck!

I was right there with ya! I had the worst gas, I am almost 2 wks out with my surgery and I am still sleeping in a chair. I am waiting for my port to completely heal so I can sleep on my stomach. When I was hurting I was like I want this out NOW!!! I walked constantly when I had that gas bubble from hell too. Gas X strips are heaven sent!!!
