HI Everyone...

I am one day post op and I am having a hard time getting in all of my fluids, any suggestions? Also will this gas pain ever go away?

You are just out of surgery, it will be hard for a week or so to get all of your fluids in. At least it was for me. Just keep drinking :) Gas will get better more you walk around, even if it is just doing circles in your house. That and gas x helps as well.

    

Reach for the moon, if you fail at least you will lay among the stars.

As said, the walking around is imperative to get everything moving around again.  Gas-x is good but I go to the Dollar Tree store and get their simethecone tablets for a dollar!  So much cheaper and very effective for me.  Just keep sipping the liquids and the pouch will respond.  Also try SF popsicles if that is easier for you.  Good luck.  The first two weeks are the hardest!

Ice chips or shaved ice with a bit of water really helped me initially to get my fluids in.  You are working on building up your fluids.  Your insides are swollen and as the swelling goes down it gets a bit easier to drink and to eat.  Keep walking to move the gas OUT!
