6 days post-op

All is going really well so far. I have gas but it is moving out so no real pain, my poop is an oil slick, but hey I am pooping(it is amazing the things that make you happy post-op). I am finding it hard to get all of my protien and water in but I am trying. All my meal and snanks are made with unjury protien and I am sipping all day. I walked twice yesterday for about a total of 1.5 miles. I only lay down during my nap in the afternoon. If I had a complaint it would be that I m tired all the time, but after hearing all the issues others have dealt with post-op, I just count my blessings. Number one on that list is that wife is here with me and keeps my schedule straight, she even sets a alarm to give me my pain meds at 1 am, she is a keeper!!!

Sounds great.  Before you know it, you'll be back to everything being normal - except eating habits.  I'm not quite two months post-op, and I'm on regular meal times, regular food, and doing more than I ever used to do.  I really overbought protein powders in preparation for what I thought would be a couple weeks worth of full liquid, but after five days at home, the surgeon had me on purees.  Oh, well.
