3 days POST-Opp and having troubling with GAS

[miamax13 12]

<p>My surgery was the 31st of March and this as is real! But getting better daily. Getting this Protein shake down is not easy. I can only finish about half in a day. I do pretty good with my liquids though. Walking pretty good. He repaired my hiatal hernia, so I am still a little sore, but off pain meds. I know it is a process and these discussions always help me remember that! Thank you!</p>

I was the 31st as well and had the hiatal hernia too! I have trouble with taking a deep breath! I feel like I have a brick in my chest at times! Got 8oz of a Protein Shake down last night and that was rough!!! My doc told me to focus on 50 oz of liquids first then Protein. I feel like there is not enough hours in the day!!!! I am still taking the pain meds, but less often . Keep me posted! I like to see where people are that had it done the same day I did - especially with the hiatal hernia repair - which I did not even know I had!!!!

The gurgling in your stomach will last until you start having normal BMs again. It is air inside the intestines working its way out, they aren't use to being so empty... it is all natural so don't worry about it. Mine would cause a moment or so of sharp pains but then it would move on. The more you move the less it hurts. Keep going!
