I've had no issues what so ever with food or drink. Feel pretty good all around just waiting for the incisions to heal lol

That's great, I get my stitches out today and hopefully the leaking will stop. I haven't been as bold with food yet although chili does sound good lol.

yes my drain incision was leaking fairly heavily this whole time. Just the last day or so its seemed to get better but its still draining a bit. I pulled the stitches on everything tonight. I had a couple incisions ooze some nasty looking stuff a few day ago but after draining it all it was pretty good the next day. I feel amazing. Eating Blenderized Chili and stuff with no issues. I just tried a chunk of chicken out of my dads homemade chicken noodle soup and chewed it up real good and it went down with no issues.

Hey buddy just checking in with you to see how things are going. Are you still seeping from the drain hole? Mine seems to have pulled apart a little and some seeping has started.
