I am doing pretty good, I am feeling hungry and have moved from the liquid diet to the more blended. I feel like I can eat but I want to take it slow. I do have some concerns and maybe someone out there has had this problem. I still seem to have a lot of gas. It is uncomfortable and I feel better when I can let it pass but will it ever get out of my body? I feel a little sore still on my left side but I can only imagine that is normal. I am trying to stay hydrated simply because I know how important it is.

I am just ahead of you, I am 12 days post op. The gas does subside - are you using GasX? I found that very helpful. I still have "tenderness" , not pain, on my left side. When I saw the surgeon, he told me that's where my port is . . huh, I thought it was down by my belly button. Anyway, I've read some posts that say this can remain tender for a couple of months even. Sounds like you are doing well - keep up the good work.

I had my surgery on 6/21 and trust me when I say the gas will leave your body! Walking is the only way I was able to get rid of it. During every commercial series I walked in my apartment - back and forth, back and forth. Boring? Yes, but it worked. A lot of people say try GasX, so perhaps you should. The pureed foods should help you not be hungry, string cheese, jello and ice pops (sugar free) does it for me. Good luck to you.
