Day 4 - still a balloon!
Hi all:
Update - I am still extremely bloated on Day 4 after surgery. I am adding Benefiber to my drinks tonight and tomorrow. Walking doesn't seem to help, rather in my case two things are helping:
Lying down (which moves the gas down instead of up), and using my abdominal muscles more since they are less sore than 2 days ago when I was sore from moving around awkwardly and trying not to strain my incisions.
So - We'll see!. I saw another post that said it took 2 weeks for the bloating to go away.

Hi Emily: I took about 8 (the max) strips a day but still no gas leaving, so on Day 6 I am still bloated. However, the Benefiber at least is helping move my system. The bloating pain is now in my shoulders. Argghh.
