3Days Post Op

I am still having pain and discomfort today . Also breathing has been a lil difficult and passing any gas?  My question for everyone post op is this...How long was it before you farted TMI yes I know but we are adults here. Also how long was it that the pains subsided?? 

   It helped to pass gas for me ,when I had a lil warm broth ,and to undo my binder a lil bit hear and there. But it was a few days anyway. I didnt have horrible gas pains that some say they did.I can tell you it does get better each day .I am almost 2 wks out.

It takes a while. You need to drink more, and walk as often as you can. This was major surgery! It will be better before you know it.

Ty for the encouraging words?

Listen to Grim - he's the master.  All you can do right now is sleep, sip, and make sure you're getting your liquids and protein.  Walk a bit every hour to make sure you don't get blood clots.  Around day 5 things get SO MUCH BETTER, and it continues every day.  I was 100% by 14 days out. I was also trying to white knuckle it without pain pills, but take them if you need them.  This hell is totally temporary!

I am 5 days out of surgery.  I had gas pains for the first 2-3 days and have been find ever since.  Sorry far, I consider myself fortunate.  I haven't had to take a pain reliever since the day after surgery.  My biggest problem is that it's uncomfortable when I swallow.  I can't seem to get enough calories to keep me going.  Today I was taking out a load of laundry before having something to drink and got light headed. I'm hoping the discomfort will pass so I can put down more liquids.
