Glad to hear you're doing well. The first couple of days are the hardest so its good to hear that you're getting through them well. I wasn't in too much pain right after - I got off the prescription stuff right away and switch over to alleve. That way I had a little relief and wasn't all loopy for the pain medicine. You sound like you're on the right track. The first couple of days I didn't really have an appetite. I bought like $100 of food to eat that first week and most of it still sitting in my fridge/cabinet today. You're still on a clear liquid diet right? Broth and jello were my friends. I did find that first few days that I was hungry all the time - but that's cause you're not eating anything of substance. How long are you on clear liquids?
