Wow, I am 5 days out of surgery and I am on the toilet so much my legs keep falling asleep. Is this where the blood clot fears come from?

No, blood clot fears are from lack of mobility, so you need to walk as much as you can.  Even in hospital and on a drip I did laps of the ward and that really did help me with my overall recovery.

You don't want a reclinining toilet as that wouldn't work in my mind.  You could try a footrest to elevate your knees, something like the squatty potty available from Amazon.  http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_2?url=search-alias% 3Daps&field-keywords=squatty%20potty&sprefix=sq%2Caps%2C206

I tried the 9" one and found that my knees felt like they were right under my chin so I returned it.  I think the 7" would be better, although DH didn't want one in the house so I didn't get the 7" one.

If you have diarrhea, treat it!  Imodium is your friend!

Try a stool to prop your feet with.  I spend at least the first 20 min of my day on the toilet with a couple of diet cokes, putting on my makeup.

I have the 7" Squatty Potty! My bf and I both love it! It supposedly helps avoid constipation. Check out the video:
