Five days...OK: After surgery if you don't have a very swollen face or symptoms of infection, you should be ok. Also your doctor probably will follow up on your surgery during this period of time and may remove your stitches depending on the situation. This only if you are able to speak and have no limitation as to open your mouth. Otherwise, wait till you feel comfortable.

VARIES: I would have the surgery done on friday, lay low for the weekend and get back at it on monday! trying to limit activity and consume a decent amount of calories (soft foods, smoothies, shakes, etc.) will help you recover faster. Don't smoke! warm salt water rinses will also help speed your recovery. Although pain can last longer than 3 days it is usually not incapacitating.
