Im 3 days out also. Gas x strips. I dont feel hungry. Hang in there. They say after one week we get significantly better. The hardest thing is trying to get liquids in. Im eating ice and trying to get down a Protein Shake that ive been working on since this morning. Hang in there hun. We got this.

It does get better, i promise! The first week is just awful but, just take small sips of Water, keep doing it, keep up the walking, but don't over do it! That makes it hurt worse ( trust me i know). You passed the leak test at the docs before you went home, so as long as you do what you are told the chances of developing a leak are quite small. Hang in there, your going to do great!!
