If you can handle walking, you need to walk to get the gas out, once i started walking more and more mine went down. Im 3 weeks today post-op. I got my visitor the day after surgery, not fun. Drink as much Water as you can too it helps.

My surgeon said no other exercise except walking until 4-6 weeks, guess he will tell me more on Monday. Supposed to keep our core quiet so it can heal without added stress of exercise.

Thanks!!!! I have my Wii Fit Biggest Loser and I'm starting to do about 10-15 minutes. I will start walking to get rid of the gas.... I mean I know my tummy was already big but, know it's like someone put a big ballon inside me. I sometimes find it hard to drink Water, especially if I'm not thirsty it's like I'm forcing it and I'm full....

Ya i was shocked how much i looked like i had a pregnant belly after surgery. My oldest daughter is having a baby in 4 1/2 weeks and we were comparing who looked further along, lol.

I keep a Water container with me always. I got one that i can keep track of how much i drink and it has a metal screen in it so i cant take big drinks so i think thats been helping me, there were days in the first couple of weeks i was lucky if i could get 1 cup in, now im drinking about 5-8 cups a day. I found if its flavored i tend to drink more of it.
