Tips For Pain??



Recommended Posts

Hello! So I got home from the hospital yesterday (luckily, they discharged me and I didn't have to stay overnight--score!) but I woke up this morning much more sore than yesterday. It almost feels like I've done sit ups for like 8 years straight...I was wondering if anybody had any tips for releiving the soreness? I've taken my pain killer and haven't really given it a chance to kick in yet but if there's anything extra I can do, please let me know! Thank you!

You're going to have pain (maybe a week or so).

For gas, gas-x strips (it doesn't really work well, but I guess it does something).

For pain, Tylenol liquid. Again, doesn't work well, but it's something.

And remember, in a week or so you'll feel better.

for gas pains, walk, walk, walk as much as you can do and don't forget about the gas-x that's what helped me.

When I wanted to rest, I would heat a towel in the microwave for 1 min and lay that over my belly and it would soothe the soreness and allow me to rest well. I hate pain killers so I never too the perscription. Gel packs also work well, you can get them in medical stores or Walmart, you can heat them per directions and lay that over the area. It really helped me.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
