4 days post op

 Hi all,
Im 4 days post op and I'm pretty bloated and uncomfortable. I'm wondering how long this is going to last. I'm also wondering if it does continue is there a way to listen it? I'm having a hard time figuring out if it's pain from the surgery or bloating from a swollen stomach or if the SF vanilla pudding is the cause. 
I have been able to be active and I've gotten out and about, but the bloating and burping persists.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks 
Stephanie

Hi Stephanie,

Congrats on getting the surgery. I am 3.5 months post op. Right after surgery (I was banded) I was very bloaty but not a great deal of pain (more like I'd done 200 situps). Walking helped. I walked around the house a lot and I also walked outside twice a day, 20 minutes at a time and longer as tolerated. That really helped.

Are you having pain with the burping? Don't use straw, small sips, etc. Call you dr. Monday and just run it by them, they may have tips and tricks for you.

 Thanks Minnie,
I will try more walking. Couldn't hurt right? 
=0)

I'm 12 days out and when I was first home I was bloaty and swollen , try gas x and walk a lot.
The SF shouldn't make a difference , at least it didn't to me.
I have mostly had soups and SF popcycles and refried beans and salsa blended with milk , added FAGE yogurt

Gas X , walking and such work wonders to help move the gas along.  I was that way post op for a good few weeks. 

Congrats on your surgery and hang in there, I promise it will get better!
