2 days post op, questions?



Recommended Posts

Ok I know gas pain is part of the post op process but how long does it last?? Even after every sip of liquid I release a painful burp. I'm also pretty gassy elsewhere and I haven't even had a bowel movement yet. I actually just started taking colace today because of the narcotics I'm taking.

Also, how long for the swelling around the incisions to go down?? The biggest one hurts a lot and is really swollen..what's others experience with this?

Another input would be great! Just got home from e hospital and I'm trying to adjust.

My gas in my shoulders and chest lasted 5-6 days but everyone is different. I had pain at my incisions for a full week. I just took the pain killers and at day eight I was a lot better.

I have a friend that came home from the hospital one day post op and felt fine. I hope you start to feel better reall soon.

Oh, all my bowels came out like liquid, that is all that is goin in.

Everyone is different. I'm just over a week out and still have gas. Best thing is to WALK! My main incision gets better everyday. Today I was able to get out of bed without putting a lil pressure one it. Good luck!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
