I am out of surgery, and through the awful pains after surgery. I was sure I was going to die from that pain. But I'm doing well now. I still can't get much down, so I'm taking it very very slow. But I'm still positive about the whole experience.

Anything you would like to share, tips, recipes, advice... Would all be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, I'm 5 days post-op. Glad to see you made it to the losers bench. I continuous sip all day. When I take my protein shake I walk around the house a time or two then take another little sip, whether mentally or physically, I just find that it helps and I get in some walking. So it takes me about an hour to drink the shake. Just keep taking tiny sips, it'll get better.

Congrats on making it through. I wasn't in any shape to post updates for the 1st 5 days post-op. Glad to hear your doing well.

Walk as much as you can, eat ice chips until you're allowed Water, and take small sips/bites until you learn how much you can hold.
