I'm doing well but I know I need to start exercising every day as I'm beginning to feel fine at this stage. What I have realised is that my discomfort is mainly due to trapped wind. It wont go anywhere- I feel bloated with air.. It's the strangest thing because I have never had this problem before. Gas is very slow to pass either end (I'm sorry to have to talk about this it I just have to know if its something others may have advice on ) and every time I have juice, soup, smoothie, yogurt, even water I feel as if it's all building up again. I did 20 mins of the treadmill earlier and this helped move some but it keeps building up... Am I eating too fast? Please help....

nope its very common..im 3 days post op but everything im reading on here and from what doc says..it can last as long as 2 weeks unfortuantely. the biggest help is moving. I am using gas-x strips that melt on your tongue..that got me releasing some from the "other" end...but the burping is still an issue. I went outside and tossed a small soft ball back and forth my son, and burped more than i have in the last month lol. So moving is the key...i sip everything im having very slow and still have the prob so most likely you arent doing it too fast either. just keep moving..its a pain in the behind, but it will passs eventually
