Pain after surgery

Perhaps try the Syntrax flavored Protein powders? I had to do trial and error with my daily water bottle, but eventually I found that mixing it with half a packet of Crystal Light made it taste great. I do have unflavored Syntrax Protein Powder to add to oatmeal, pancake batter, Breakfast Cookies, etc.

Ok one more question. I know you are full with gas and that gas will leave your body. But today I've had horrible bubbling sounds in my gut and diarrhea. Are these sounds coming from my gut. Just gas from surgery trying to escape? What's in the world is going on

The gurgling may continue & it may not necessarily be directly related to the diarrhoea. I gurgle & groan & rumble & squelch all the time - am gurgling now 😆. I often say I have a poltergeist in my tummy rattling chains. My young nieces & nephews think it’s hilarious. It’s just your body doing what it’s supposed to: digest your food. Diarrhoea is quite common after surgery. Can be the excess acid in your tummy, your body excreting the blood, etc. from the surgery, the liquid diet, … etc. If it persists, contact your medical team.

Use the incentive spirometer as often as possible and walk!
Also, simethicone helped.
