this is a multi part question:

I have a pain in my left shoulder. the dr kept me at the hospital an extra day because he was afraid of a leak. since i took my pain meds, it feels a little better. when i sleep and then try to get up it hurts and i can't get a deep breath. Part 2: I am now 4 days post op and feeling good. I have not yet had a bowel movement, is that ok? I mean, in the hospital i was given all high sugar foods (which made no sense to me), and I tolerated everything ok. Part 3: I really have no idea how much is enough to eat. I had some chicken broth, and jello, and have been sucking on ice chips, but don't think that's enough. I'm all on clear liquids still. And one last major question: My stomach growls a lot. I mean i feel like i'm hungry, but how can it "growl" when it isn't attached anymore. I find that confusing...Thanks in advance for reading (open rny 5-2-02)
