I had my RCS 8 days ago. The soreness and pain is gone. I'm getting around great but I still have that bloated and painful gassy feeling. It hurts when I sneeze. I get painful gas bubbles too. I wish I could just fart!! I just hate this feeling. Anyone else deal w this?

    I didn't pass gas or poop for 5 days after my c section. My bowel was completely blocked. The pain was way worse than anything i felt from the actual surgery. In the hospital they put me on a clear liquid diet for a few days and when I finally went to the bathroom I had major food restrictions - nothing gassy, spicy, greasy, etc. I still haven't eaten anything gassy or spicy. Did they discharge you even though you haven't even passed gas? I had to stay in the hospital two extra days until I did.

    Are you able to get into the yoga position downward dog? That sometimes helps. I was doing it in the hospital.

    I was passing gas in the hospital. It just doesn't seem like passing enough gas now. It took forever for me have a BM too. I'm still not regular yet.

    Are you wearing the belly binder they hopefully gave you? That helped support my middle and work the gas out. I do recall that annoyance after my cs 4 years ago.  When I took it off, I felt pretty uncomfortable with gas.

    I just had a c/s three days ago and I was farting that night, though it took me until today to actually poop - and it was the tiniest, most disappointing poop for the amount of effort that I put into it! 

    The nurses here have been giving me something they ominously call "the cocktail" - half a cup apple juice, half a cup prune juice, two tablespoons lemon juice, served warm.  It doesn't taste great, but it works.  I'm working on my 4th drink right now.

    This is all totally normal. Remember your insides have been move around. And trapped air from your surgery can cause gas too. Hope you feel better soon!
