lovietobeme 45 Posted February 7, 2013 Here I am post op finally and I admit it has been a rough day. The gas pain has to be the worst but they were right you can literally walk the pain away. I started walking about an hour after I left from the recovery and haven't stopped. I walk at least 15 mins every hour and I feel fab! The only thing they will give me until tomorrow is those little medicine cups half way full with crushed ice. That is fine with me though cause food is the last thing on my mind. They also changed my diet to just Clear Liquids, no Protein for a week or Vitamins which is weird. The staff has been amazing I have a giant private room with free cable and wifi.... Well off to get some rest an I promise to keep everyone updated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NurseGrace 509 Posted February 7, 2013 I found that hot packs on my shoulders were extremely comforting on my shoulders for the gas pain, nothing else really helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
