Now that I am 5 days out, I can say that I am not having any problems getting my liquids and Protein in. My doctor uses a larger boogie tube, so I think this may be why I am not having trouble with liquids at all. I have had a very small bowel movement every day since day 3 post op (all thank to the miracle that is Miralax). I am able to sleep on my left side, but the right side is too tender. I am actually doing some laundry today and some other small things around the house. I am not lifting much, and bending is tough to do, but I feel like I am about 70% back to normal. I can't wait to get cleared for soft food (my doctor does not do a puréed stage). I really want to get my calories up to at least 600 or so, just so I can have more energy.
