I had VSG Surgery yesterday.  I'm more uncomfortable today than yesterday.  Which is better to use across my belly,  heat or ice?

You need to walk as much as you can too!

For me, heat felt best.  Walking, heating pad & warm liquids with unflavored protein powder was what I did.

Hot liquids and a heating pad were so so wonderful the first few days out! Even four months out I still love hot drinks, especially in the morning, that first sip of herbal tea in the morning feels so good when it hits my stomach.
