4 days post op and running to the RR

I am sorry to post this, I know it is not a pleasant topic.

Ever since I took the Magnesium citrate the day before surgery. All of my movements have been thin like Water. I realize I've been on a liquid diet and for the first couple of days figured it's because of that but have been a bit worried as it continues. Is this normal after surgery and being on liquids?

Yep, it was normal for me. Unpleasant but temporary. Be careful that you don't drink much juice, that makes it worse.

That happened to me for the first few days, but as I began upping my Protein Shakes to 2 per day (or as close to that as I can get...i usually end up with 1.5) I am now back to regular. I am now 9 days out if that helps...

That was an issue for my first week post op. Second week was much better so I am glad I had two weeks off for this. I go back to work tomorrow and feel like I am functioning fine.
