that this will get better. I had my surgery on Friday and the gas pains are really tough. I'm walking, I'm taking deep breaths but neither of those seems to have made much of a dent in actually getting rid of the pain. I just sent hubby out for some gas-x strips so hopefully that will help. It just feels like I have a giant air bubble in my chest and it hurts! I'm also starting to get a headache. The good news is I have zero interest in food. I can sip fluids, but that's it and I'm fine with that now. I just really need to hear that this all sounds typical and it will pass soon. Thanks!

It's typical and it will pass! Make SURE you get your fluids in, though. That's very very important.

I took 3 strips at a time! Yes it's normal, but I found taking extra strips REALLY, REALLY helped! That first day, I walked on my treadmill, it was 1 mph, and I felt it was too fast, but I did it. Even just walk around your house really helps! Hang in there, it does get better!
