2 days post op

[nikkimarieislove 7]

Just wondering I am two days post op and in horrible pain. I believe they are gas pains from my stomach up to my chest and back. Has anyone experienced this? And also I haven't been hungry but seeing food on tv makes me want it so much. I didn't realize how attached I was too food until the day I had my surgery and was watching tv in the hospital and saw a pizza commercial and my mouth watered and I wanted it badly lol. Just wondering if others are having the same problem as me...

It sounds to me that the pain you are having is normal for the first few days. As for the food. I didn't want food at all that early in but we are all different.

Hello you should walk a lot and try some gas x tongue strips that works wonders. What I do now when I get hungry is drink Water tends to make me not want food. Hope everything work outs fir you

Hard to say about the pain- I had both horrible post-op pain and horrible gas pain, lasting the first week, but by the second week I was feeling better. Walking around was the only thing that made me feel better. I never took gas-x, but a lot of people post how it helps them. I totally know what you are going through regarding food cravings- my first week I can remember every time my hubby would have something to eat, it was really hard because his food smelled so good and I HATED drinking Protein Shakes. I wasn't hungry, but I think it was my food addiction that I was dealing with where my brain and eyes controlled what I ate, not my stomach. Food issues became MUCH easier for me after week 2 when I was on pureed food and could start eating things with flavor. I have no issues with it now- my hubby could eat an entire pizza in front of me and I wouldn't care.

Hi, i completely understand your pain. I am 1 week post op today and i have been having the worst gas pain in my chest. I have not slept right and i feel so blah! But i my gastro doctor told me to by the over the counter mylanta (in liquid form) i just bought it today and im hoping it works! Hopefully for you as well. It is not easy but a few months from now it will be worth it!!
