It will pass. Tiny bite every two minutes. Sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk. If you don't have a bowel movement in a few days you can try Milk of Magnesia.

Woohoo you did it!  How long did you have to stay in the hospital for?  Where did you guys stay?  I don't know how crazy I will be to stay at Jane/Finch for 4 days..hehe

I grew up in and still live in the Jane/Finch area. It's not all bad. You'll likely have some good entertainment from the folks who hang around all night on the street. They can be very colourful LOL!

It will pass for sure.Soon. And then it'll be a distant memory and you'll be celebrating the victories.

What is it that you're eating at four or five days out? Are you getting all your water and protein in or is that the 'eating' you're referring to? To me the discomfort sounds like the one I get when I eat too fast or take too big of a bite.

Welcome to the bench.

 Welcome to the bench!  It will get better for sure.  Are you using Gas-X?  Are you walking?  Yes, I agree take some MOM if you don't have a BM within  a couple of days.

Let us know how you're doing!

This happened to me too last week.  At first it was almost unbearable, and even though I ate everything very very slowly it still happened.  I still get it now, but not as much and not as severe.  As the days pass I am sure that you will find the same thing.  It is true what everybody tells you here- walk walk walk and sip sip sip.  I think that it was instrumental in my recovery thus far.
