Chew On This

Without getting too graphic the eating instructions you received after having your prostate removed is "After surgery until you expel the air that has been pumped into you eat one teaspoon of ice chips at a time, once you have passed the air you graduate to colored liquids". Breaking wind is no problem for a pro like me so I went into colored liquids within 24 hours, now comes the tricky part. "Continue of colored liquids until you have a movement at which point you can eat solid foods" OK, I have been eating jello and slurping down broth and juices for almost one week, remember you must fast 24 hours prior to surgery. What would they like me to move??? There is nothing in the system!!! I broke down today and asked "The Madge" to give me something to EAT, well I just had a can of Tuna fish and it tasted better than any meal I have ever eaten in my entire life. It took twenty minutes to finish it, savoring each bite and I am full. I don't want to get carried away so for dinner I might have two cups of warm water and an cherry flavored ice pop.
