one week post op

This is my first post. I have been reading the message boards pre and post op and you all have been such an inspiration. I think that going into surgery, I was so worried about the surgery itself that I did not think about the post op period and I had never had surgery before. I had a lot of nausea from the anesthesia and it was more painful than I expected but each day it got better. At one week out, I am trying to go from liquids to soft foods and I may be moving too fast just because I am bored with liquids. My body is confusing me. I'm not sure if I feel hunger or fullness. I just try and take it slow. There are 2 questions that I have: 1) I have these gas bubbles come up my esophegos thru my chest- especially when I change positions. Does anyone else have this problem and what can I do? 2) I had lap band and I am not having pain anywhere else except for the port site. Is that normal? Thanks for all your support and words of encouragement.

Well I am 2 weeks out and I had lap gastric bypass and yeah the gas bubbles were the worst I had to buy a pack of the gas-x chewables and take them all day long just to feel better and about the pain I think my pain was like that too. nowhere else but on the left side which I think was also the port... but it will get better just give your body a little more time to heal.
