What meds did he give you? I've had some of them, just not recently, I too have gained since all this started! Stress eating again!

It might explain for you. I did this and it helped along with the Whole30 diet program. The meds gave me the kick start I needed to start this program. My doctor would only give me the phentermine. I lost about 12 lbs in about 5 weeks without calorie counting or measuring. Just cut out my problem foods. There is tons of info on Whole 30 online, you don't need to pay for a program. Walmart has a lot of its compliant products. Your weight gain might not feel like a lot to some people but you do not want to let it get out of control again. Its a slippery slope.
Lol I finally had a bowel movement as well this morning. It definitely seemed to hel the gas pain
I had the surgery on the 8th and today the gas or almost gone. I even went #2. So beware of that when it happens b close to that area for a bit lol
Thank you so much!!! I was so worried! I'm definitely gonna try the heat mat.

It's caused by trapped gas. They pump your abdominal cavity full of air so they have more room to maneuver the instruments and can see to do the surgery. Walking helps move the gas around so your body can get rid of it. Walk around as much as you can.
Taking short breaths is not a good idea. You could end up with pneumonia. Taking deep breaths, even if you have pain, helps move the gas around too.
You could try a heating pad. That helped me a lot.

I had the operation this Thursday 7/9/2020 I spent the night in the hospital and then was discharged 24hours later. I know about the pain in the stomach and such but I have had REALLY bad sharp pains in my left shoulder when I breath deeply ever since. Has anyone else had this problem? It hurts so bad that I have been trying to only take short shallow breaths and even those sometimes hurt.
