Woot! Congrats on your surgery. I am 3 weeks post-op myself. Gas pains will go away, easiest way is to get up and walk. Doesn't have to be far, but keep at it. A little bit further each day. Listen to your body.

Protein is extremely important. For most, it's around 60grams per day, so the shakes and powders will help. I added powder to broth for the first few days after coming home. Slowly moving to shakes and other fun things like cream of wheat.

Take things slow. You should be VERY careful about how much you consume, especially during the first couple weeks. 1/4 cup at max at any point for anything. Else, you're likely to feel the most horrid pains. Make those gas pains you're having seem like childs play.

Best wishes
