Hi. I'm 3 days past surgery. This may be TMI: Anyone else have trouble passing gas? I feel like my muscles below automatically tense up when it starts to come out so it never does. I need to get rid of it but I can't stop my muscles from tightening up. No matter how much i concentrate on relaxing my muscles, ive only let a couple of small ones out today (this is the first day ive had the urge to pass it. And yes im walking and moving around but now I'm getting some gas pains. Any suggestions?

Hello! I am about two and a half weeks post op today and I had the same problem. I tried Gas X, but that seemed to make it worse. The best advice is just to move around as much as you can. 3 days post op is still very fresh in my mind and I felt like absolute death, but the more I moved around, the easier it got. I think a lot of it has to do with all the pressure in your abdomen, plus they do a lot of snipping and rearranging. It was about a week before I started to feel like a normal human being again. Also you could try sitting on the toilet. That seems to kind of help things a bit. Hang in there, it will get better. I hope you start feeling better soon!

it took me about 5 days post op to finally be able to comfortably pass gas. sitting on the toilet and pulling my knees close to my chest as much as i could helped me a lot. good luck, it will get easier!

Hi Im two weeks out. My surgery was July 26th, 2016. I came home that next day. I had the same problem. I didnt pass gas til that Friday and first bowel movement later that same day. I felt relieved lol. Good luck to you. It will come out, hold on just dont rush it. Did they send you home with Polyethylene Solution for Constipation? That helps as well

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
