And that is the most food I've been able to eat for at least six months. I might have been able to eat more, but my surgeon warned me not to do so. My gut isn't yet fully awake after the deep anesthesia, and I must be careful not to trigger vomiting. **sigh**<br /><br />I'm now sipping on ginger ale. <br /><br />Damn!
