Gass pain and walking

Hello

Just a quick question, I understand that walking reduces gas pains after surgery, but what if you can't walk , for example I need a new hip and will walk as much as I can but it is  very painful to stay on my feet. Any other methods.

If it is gas in your pouch or bowels try gas-x, food getting stuck try papaya enzyme.

I've never heard of papaya enzyme -I shall look it up!

Thanks!

You can find it with the vitamins. It help to digest food. I used it often at the beginning when trying new foods that made my pouchy grouchy

I could not walk much either. I am usually in a wheelchair. If you have a walker then use it. If not then ask for a wheelchair or transfer chair and pu**** like a walker and then sit in it when you are tired or have pain from your hip. This will help you walk further as you know there is always a seat available. 

I have a cream I made myself that helps enormously for gas pain. I used it before surgery and am now almost 2 months post op and I occasionally still use it. It is just coconut oil with peppermint oil. I liberally rub it all over my stomach when needed. There is the added bonus that the coconut oil helps keep the skin moisturized which lessens the loose skin. 

Sounds great thanks!

A heating pad is also useful, it was my best friend post-surgery

That's a great idea, simple but I had not considered it. I use one all the time!!
