While on my liquids I was able to have coffee. Sounds like a good idea!!

Wow, you had it rough! I had gas pain as well... It was in my shoulder, felt like a heart attack. But I noticed it went away after walking and drinking chidrens Ibuprofen. I also used gas-x because I could not and still cannot belch...Which is a horrible feeling...I had a hiatal (spelling?) hernia repaired as well and the doctor says that "It is not gas in your stomach, and there is no need to belcjh." Which I find to be a load of crap! I know when I need to belch! But I am glad you were not having a heart attack. I wish you the best on your journey!!

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. As for ginadon- My post op diet was up to day 3 clear liquids, up to day 7 full liquids, up to day 10 soft food (fish, chicken, well cooked veggies, egg, tuna, chicken salad, eggs...etc) and starting day 10 was normal food MINUS the carbs of course. I was like you, not hungry until about day 7 or 8...the doctor told me if I am not hungry, not to eat...simple really! until your brain says otherwise. Best of luck to you!
