LadyBug236 0 Posted November 27, 2010 Hello, Looking forward to my journey with you all... Had our Thanksgiving dinner last weekend... and I was BANDED WEDNESDAY 24th ( 2 days ago). Still feeling bloaty from the gas and the only sore/painful area is the port. Started mush today about 3 table spoons and I feel bloated/cramping... is this normal? Any idea how to get rid of the gas from the surgery? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annieM 2 Posted November 27, 2010 Welcome to bandland ! I'm surprised you are on mush already, most doc's recommend at least a week of Clear Liquids for healing. It could be the cause of your cramping. Try gas-x for the gas pains as well as some gentle walking around the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G-Ma 0 Posted November 27, 2010 Hi, You could also try the thermapacks. They are heat packs that stick on your skin, the heat helps the gas pains. I also was on clear liquids for first 2 days and now on full liquids until post op visit, surprised you are on mush already. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadyBug236 0 Posted November 27, 2010 Getting frustrated.... any help please.... My surgery was Wednesday 24th. Today is day 3 and doing better with gas pains... now onward with the hungry belly..... I have heard I should be on liquid only. However, yesterday was a bad day and I felt like was going to lose it and put anything in my mouth!! Therefore, I phoned the doc yesterday and he said start mush diet and we will see you Tuesday (7 days post-op) I was shocked when I heard this... If I stick to the liquid diet... What do you drink? How much? How often? Any help is GREATLY appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
