do you have gas x strips? try that it might help your pain, gas can go every where, time will go by fast and you will get better, the first 3 months are a trip, but before you even know it, a year will go by and you will be all good.

I hate to sound simplistic but are you taking your pain meds? Some people try to tough it out because they don't want to become "addicted".  Taking pain pills for real pain is not going to cause a problem.  Also, you aren't overdoing it are you? Make sure and move but don't be lifting and trying to do what you do in a normal day either. I didn't feel good until post op day 5.

Yea I take them every 6 hours. I've been walking around the house a lot, so maybe that's making it a little sore. I've been using gas x. Thank you for your advice :)

If the directions say 4-6 hours try not waiting until the 6 hour mark. When you get behind on the pain sometimes it's hard to catch up. Also, icing my belly almost constantly REALLY helped me! 

Don't dream it. Be it.

It's possible that the "blood" could be from the coloring of the popsicle.
