Yeah the recovery has me a little concerned too. I'm really hoping i won't need pain meds since I react to those (well I react to literally every med I've tried) or if I do I only need Tylenol. From looking it up it seems people's recovery varies greatly. Some people need no pain meds and say they feel like they could have gone back to work right from the hospital and some say they have horrible pain for up to a week or two. I did see something on a medical site saying that most people had stopped taking pain meds by the 5th day.

I'm also not sure how soon I wanna try other foods after the surgery. You can normally eat whatever right afterwards but I don't want to have a reaction to something and start shaking and risk having the incision open up from that. On the other hand, it's gonna be real hard to resist if I'm feeling relatively ok. I've eaten nothing but brown rice with salt for like the last 4000 or so meals with a few bits and pieces of chicken and vegetables thrown in occasionally to make sure I still can't handle them.
