Had surgery 5 days ago... I'm I suppose to be feeling hungry? Is it normal to still have pain on the incision site? What's the best protein source?

At 5 days post op I was on protein drinks, protein soups and water. I did not feel hungry although I would hear my stomach rumble. I had a lot of tenderness around my big incision but not the small ones. Not sure if I would call it "pain" though. They told me to check my incisions every day and if anything looks different to call immediately.

It maybe just old habits of just wanting to eat. My large incision is the one that is very uncomfortable. Have your bathroom habits changed? I've experiencing new experiences in that area.

Bathroom habits in the first week can be quite unpleasant, if that's what you mean
