4 days out

4 days out and I'm trying to conquer this GAS. I also have su*****redible left side pain. from my belly button over to the left OUCH. I feel pregnant almost. LOL. Almost time for my pain pill. I am having such a hard time trying to get in all this liquids....I'm so full. Anybody? The same experiences? Eileen

me too! i have these weird hiccup spasms when i get up from lying or sitting too. i'm also working on the liquids, it was easy when i wasn't able to "eat" anything but now that i'm on to soft (strained, baby-style) foods, it's harder. plus, you can't sip when you sleep, and i'm still napping quite a bit at this point. i've been told that we just have to work up to 64oz/day, it's not easy at first. hope you feel better soon! michelle lap RNY 3/31/05

Well, I had the gas too, mine kinda went away after about 2 weeks. As for the left side pain, I'm experiencing that as we speak. For the most part mine I believe is because I was sitting up out of bed and not rolling out of bed that I strained my stomach muscle. Could you have done the same? Does the pain pill help with the pain on your left side. I'm suffering through it, and not taking any pain medication. Maybe I should. Hope you feel better soon. Good Luck

Hi Eileen, A lot of people say if you have gas to get up and walk walk walk! Hope that helps. Tracey
