Welcome to the bench! The gas pain does suc****ep walking since there will still be some more gas working it's way out. Slow walks are also great for blood flow and getting things healing

welcome to the bench :)
If you have more gas pain, I found that lying on my left side helped.

Good luck in the coming weeks, soon you will be back to regular foods!

Glad to hear that you are OK. Gas pains are rough. I always tell people to walk, sip, rest, repeat. Walking helps with gas.

In the next few weeks, try to keep taking small sips every 5-10 minutes. It all adds up to get your fluids in. This will help with the energy levels as well.
