Post Op Day 4. Help?

[amazong 0]

1. How many ounces should I be sipping each time I take a 'sip'. I don't know if i'm trying to take in way to much liquid to quickly or what because It'll stay down for an hour or two and then it will come right back up, but it's always like 1 to 2 oz that comes back up.

My Dr. said every patient spits up until they find out how they respond to diffrent sippings at diffrnent times.

Now , see, with me you can't just tell me to figure it out and hope that you pick the right amount and times.... it's more like with me I need a checklist that tells me to drink this much at this time.

My guess is i'm trying to drink to much to fast.

2. Is this what you guys call gas pains when you feel so full and bloated that you'd give anything to burp? because i'd give anything to be able to burp and get this full feeling off my belly.

As a heart patient its taking my body a while longer to get used to things.... I haven't even farted or passed a bile movement one.

Answers? Help? What's good for a distressed belly?

You need bowl movements to feel better. It's my 2nd day and yesterday I was walking, taking deep breathes, I kept moving, drank a lot of Water even tho I didn't want to lol but..burbs felt so good..unfortunately I can't leave the hospital till I pass gas the other end =\ lol ppl react different to anesthesia, I'm takin mini sips every other couple of minutes that way it doesn't upset my stomach, you could be trying to drink too much too fast
