  1. These pains are not always "gas pains". The stomach normally goes through contractions and now it is sutured and inflammed. The cramping can be handled by going to a doctor and getting an antispasmodic medication. If you can not do that, go buy some Naproxen (Midol, Aleve) which will work to some degree. It will go away eventually, but for me it took almost a month. It is just part of the healing process.
  2. Don't worry, you are going to have plateaus some times and then you will continue to lose weight. Right now your body is in a state of adjustment, your metabolism may be slowing a bit due to the decrease in caloric intake. You have lost 18 lbs., that is FABULOUS! Try not to be so hard on yourself. Remember, it is all about calories in versus calories out. Right now you are convalescing and not doing much just trying to let your body heal. When you are ready to become more active, it will start to come off a bit easier. Just let your body heal and when you are ready, get walking. Best wishes.
  3. 1. gas (take some simethicone if it is excessive) 2. borborygmi - the natural sounds that your guts make when they go through regular contractions (yes, the gut has it's own mind - the enteric nervous system and it makes your intestines contract). You are not eating much, but your gut moves things along to make room for more and there is a lot of noise when this is occurring.
  4. Baxter's French onion soup - very tasty, low salt, just don't eat the onions. Campbell's Butternut Squash soup Glen Oaks drinkable low fat yogurt - Vanilla is very very yummy. Good for 2nd week. Campbell's Select Harvest: Harvest Tomato with Basil soup. Lots of flavor. Anyone else with suggestions? I could use some too.
