Today is the best I have felt so far. First day post op I was feeling alot of abdomenal pressure. I think it was from the hiatel hernia repair. I found the pain meds and breathing through pain to be helpful.Day too as even better. I am now on day three and the only pain I have now is gas in shoulder. My diet so far has consisted of popsicles and broth, and i am not hungry at all. This is my experience so far. God bless
