3-10 surgery

I am on the other side! Came home yesterday - pain was REAL day of and day after. Today no pain but horrible bloating. I have been walking walking walking. Took gas-x all day, it’s a little better but not totally gone. I’m terrible at getting in my water. I’m so bloated the water won’t fit! I feel like with every tiny sip I’ll burst... suggestions?

Congrats! It will get better and it will get easier to get the water in. Would ice chips be easier for you?

A good idea Judy! I’m going to try that. Thank you!

Congrats and welcome to the other side. Keep on walking. Some of that bloat is due to the IV fluids and water retention so just hang in there. Peppermint tea is supposed to help with bloating (and soothes your stomach). So hang in there. It'll get better in a few days. Keep trying to drink your water .. sloooowly!
