James Marusek 5,244 Posted August 23, 2017 Walking helps reduce gas pains. Things will get better but it will not happen overnight. It took me 6 months to reach a Happy State when all the problems seemed to melt away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crocodoxie 223 Posted August 23, 2017 Hang in there. The first week is rough, but then you're going to feel so much better! Like James said, walking helps with the gas. Nobody said you had to speed walk...but just moving a bit at a time makes a difference. 1 OmaJ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nhope 146 Posted August 24, 2017 For me, day 3 was the roughest, then it started to get better. Try to walk a little a few times a day. Heating pad for the gas pains. Drink what you can, but realize that your insides you are really, really raw! Sending you strength! 1 OmaJ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mom@teamjack 0 Posted August 31, 2017 I'm Day 9 and I've only felt significantly better the last few days. It was a rough first week, but it does get better. Hang in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
