Coming out of recovery was awful but the second night was awful as well after the second day I was a little better today is the third day I'm doing much better I'm able to drink liquid having a little bit of yogurt a little bit of Jell-O so I'm tolerating stage III which is good but now I got the pain in my stomach and the gas is still there. So I'm just taking it easy and relaxing make sure I got my liquid then just sip sip sip

Hi..congrats on your surgery!!! We're u in a lot of pain after wards? My surgery is in September 15th and I'm trying to physically prepare myself for it..lol

[sarah92200 41]

I don't want to sugarcoat anything for you so I'm gonna tell you just how it is when you got out

of anesthesia you're like oh my God it was awful it was awful pain the first night was awful and if it was because of the gas that you fill up your belly with I bought Gas-X strips and brought them with me but they they didn't really help I need to give you a lot of pain medicine but it still doesn't help at all and then the second day I was better today is the third day and I'm doing like 100% stomach still hurting! I can't even think about drinking any Protein Shakes right now I'm just trying to stay hydrated sugarfree Popsicles ,sugar-free Jell-O just sipping Water that I can't even think about anything else I had a little bite of yogurt and is just too much, but I'm very mobile, up walking around! First nite was rough , just prepare yourself as much as podsible

Thx Kathy!!!

One thing I would highly recommend to anyone who is about to get the surgery is to walk as much as you can starting the day of your surgery. I was lucky to have my mom with me who had me up and walking laps down the hall of the hospital every hour while she was there. I think it really helped me bounce back as quickly as I did!! Good luck to everyone!!

So happy for you, thx for all the info and positive energy. Good luck this week ????????

Good luck and take it easy.. I can't say I know how you feel but I guess next week I will.

Look forward to hearing about your progress

One week out and i still have the gas as it has moved up my left shoulder and chest! Other than that doing pretty good. Trying to get my fluids in and jus taking it easy!

hi my surgery was a little hard to deal at first but it was most def gas that was getting the best of me, i ended up staying 2 night instead of one cause i was vomiting even though i had nothing to eat, now that part was painful. but the gas will only move if you do a lot of walking every day try to walk a little bit further each day.
