Thank you! I slept more last night...the first night was a wash out but last night not so bad.

The pain though...oh my days! 😢

walk walk walk walk walk walk walk walk also get your Water down. it helps. im 7 days out and walking helped me a ton. it goes away, its painful, it sucks, it hurt the most out of anything. every day gets a little better.

Thank you! It helps to know it does get better. I’ve barely passed any gas at all (not for trying) home today so will mobilise more xx

yup, i didnt pass gas for four days. i barely got down the Protein Shakes, and i barely finished a bottle of Water. its important to just keep sipping water. slip all day like every 10 minutes.

I feel like I’ll never eat again or be pain free. I’m 48 hrs post op now...😒

i had a hernia repair at the same time. trust me i know your pain, im now 8 days out. you got two more days of hell, probably one more day of gas pains. you will feel weak, not hungry, cant drink or eat anything. i was only able to get down 2 oz of low sodium broth three times a day. half a sugar free popsicle if i was lucky, and i had pain meds given to me so many times i lost count. i almost threw up the sugar free Jello, so i havent even tried that again yet. the important thing is Water and walking. walking will help move the gas out. if you have one of those stomach wraps the hospital may have give you, that is a life saver/

every now and then i get a little bit of stabbing pain at night, but i just take a hydrocodone and im able to sleep without pain. i wake up without reflux, my sleep apnea is gone and its some of the best sleep i have had in years.

Greenstar you are my life saver at the minute. I had a meltdown on my husband today...just sobbed (all be it silently as too much crying action is agony) I have just managed to eat a banana muller yogurt...it was painful but I’m sure I feel a bit better for it...xx

[Greenstar 31]

for me i was told post op diet for 3 days was to be low sodium broth, sugar free Jello, or sugar free popsicle. after that it was Protein Shakes for 11 days. also Water and a lot of it.

Today (following my monumental sobbing to my hisband) I’ve managed 200ml of Water, a smooth banana yogurt, 1/2 a portion of a smooth pea Soup comtaining Protein & Vitamins. I’ll take that.

I’m going to try a peppermint tea for supper.

Oh & I’ve had three trumps which I’m overjoyed about.

Walk, walk walk! It helps!!! It was a little less then a week when it finally stopped for me and things started to feel "normal" again.
