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.

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.
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.
I have been sipping slowly.. been tryingto get in my protein but it all doesnt happen.. i have been taking gas x which seems to help a little bit.. i have been getting my water in with benefibre so hopefully soon... now that i am home i can get into a better routine ...and focus focus focus... this morning i actually got up with out any discomfort at all.... i have been walking lots too..so i guess just take it 1 day at a time....
