First Week After Surgery

so it has been 1 week today since surgery, I have not lost any weight. I have a constant feeling of something in my throat. My band is not filled and will not be filled till my first post op visit in 2 more weeks. pain has not been a huge issue but when I do have pain it is in my shoulder. being an RN I know this is becuase of the air pumped into my stomach to enable laparascopic surgery. irritation of the diaphragm causes referred pain to the shoulder. the air in my belly will gradually be reabsorbed but till then I will feel bloated and have irritation of the diaphragm and shoulder pain. I have had no nausea. just the feeling of throat fullness that is uncomfortable. I am not having regular bowel movements but haven't been eating much, clear liquids and yogurt, sugar free jello and cream soup, I do best if it is less than 1/2 cup at a time, and I sip on it. clear liquids do not seem to be a problem. constipation can become a huge issue post op in general d/t pain meds and decreased intake. I wonder about adding fiber powder to the yogurt, I am taking a stool softener and have used MOM twice since surgery, with only small results. I have not been counting calories. I think I should be doing this do this so I will probably at least begin writing down what I eat.
