Made it to the losers bench

Well I made it to the losers bench! I have had some very crampy aches, no Gass passed yet, and I have had weird problems releasing all my urine. But they said it could be from the morphine. Goal today walking. But man I am bloated like I'm 9 months pregnant. I couldn't sleep all night but I'm hoping all this passes soon.

It took a couple days for my gas to start dissipating, but walking was definitely the trick to "jiggle it loose" haha. And sipping fluids!

Thanks for the reasurance ! At first I was like oh my god what have I done.

Just get up and walk as frequently as you can. Even if it's just pacing around the house. You'll feel better in no time!

Hope you feel better soon.

walking helps immensely. I just had my surgery Monday and afterwards I was so bloated i felt bigger than I had ever been.

Now on Thursday its gone down almost completely. I live in a small apt so I just walk in circles. Which sucks cause my fitbit doesn't even count it half the time. But it for sure helps with all the discomfort.

Congratulations! The first days can be really uncomfortable, but it will get better soon. Drink, walk, drink!

Thanks so much! I sure am, walking 3 or 4 laps or the ward every 1 hr and drinking an ounce ever 15 minute's! Can wait to feel better though that's for sure.

Congratulations, the first few days of bloat/body filled with gas sucked, but by day 4 I was off pain meds and feeling pretty normal, just don't weigh yourself for at least a week.

Life starts now, good luck.

Thank you!
