Question:
How long does it take to pass all post-op gas?

It took me a good 3 weeks, and I found that adding pudding and blending it gave me more gas (or amplified the amount that was left in my system) during the stage 2 food time. I had very little shoulder pain, though, and my gas was more like first-trimester pregnancy nausea than actual gas-moving-through-my-system pain. I know people have different symptoms and I feel very fortunate that mine were slight. Barbara
