jls 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Hi Shannan,pain is not to bad. each day after surgery you have a new pain and the last pain you had is gone.in about a week things start to get better.my diet was liquids for a good two weeks then soft foods were added in. i think the worst was getting the protine shakes down at first.reminded me of the diet shakes in my past.diet popcycles,water,broth Soups, tea,and protien berry smothies were my meals.sleep alot for the first day or two . but you need to walk to get rid of the gas in you stomach after surgery.if you feel like you have alot of gas on you tummy i would bend over front ways and it would help let the air out of the lower stomach. sounds weard but it helped.well good luck on monday and have a great weekend.
