Bandster hell

From what I read bandster hell is in a few weeks when you are getting hungry, have no restriction but are trying to eat as if you were restricted. Well if that is bandster hell what am I going through right now? (Please no negative comments, I have enough of those thoughts running through my head). My should/neck pain has me in tears. I can't go to the the bathroom (tmi sorry). I called the nurse today she told me what to take to get things moving but so far nothing. This is worse the natural child birth, c-sections, and having my gallbladder out. I hate to complain I was trying to stay strong and positive but right about now I am wondering what on earth I have done.

hang in there! did they tell you to take milk of magnesia? ive heard pickle juice will do it too.......if you arent eating much....you wont go much ......make sure you are getting your fluids in ,,that helps too...it gets better,,,,i know it sucks....hope you feel better !

 Sorry you are in so much pain, but there are things you can do to make it better!  First, make sure you are drinking enough water...that makes a huge difference.  Also with the shoulder and neck pain, walk, walk, walk.... It hurts to walk, but it will make that gas move out of your system.  It will also help you move your bowels as well.  I think my shoulder pain lasted a few weeks and it was aweful, but the walking helped.  I took colace to help me go to the bathroom, and it helped.  I also used a heating pad where I had pain, and I gave myself permission to rest when I needed to.  I took many naps, and I would walk and then sit and then walk some more and then sit.  Take care of yourself and if you need to complain..  DO IT!  You had a major surgery, and made some changes to your body and it will take time for you to feel better.  Give yourself the time you need to heal.  HUGS!  I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks! I am walking a lot, drinking 4oz an hour like I was told. I have added gasx to see if tht helps.
