I'm 5 days post op and I've had no real issues. Was up and around day after surgery. Also able to drink all the protein shakes prescribed with no difficulty. I cut out the pain mess a couple days ago and while sore it's not unmanageable. I guess it's just different for everybody. Looking forward to soft foods next week. Good luck.
3 days post op guys and all seems ok. Have had no trouble with shakes or vitamins. I'm looking forward to starting some soft foods at the end of my first week. Glad to be on the ride.
