Sorry, I was out of town for 2 weeks. I ate my first real food at 4 days -- a Meximelt from Taco Bell. I went on to mashed potatoes and gravy with a little bit of chopped up beef or chicken, scrambled eggs with cheese and a little bit of sauted sausage, and all kinds of soups (not just creamed) At 3 weeks I was eating anything I wanted, just smaller portions -- i used saucers as plates or small bowls for soups.

about the pre-op diet: the doctor told me i should only drink liquids one day before the surgery and thats it!! may be because of my age and the fact that i never drank alcohol in my life my liver was not enlarged so much but thats only what i think, i didn't get the chance to ask the doctor -

i didn't know about the multivitamins for life, i guess the doctor was going to prescribe another 6 months of it i also think the antibiotic is for a quick healthy recovery for the stomach and the wound -
