It's funny how this treatment can affect us all differenty. I couldn't wait to start eating solids again. As soon as I felt I could stand the discomfort I asked my wife to go to KFC and get me some mashed potatoes with gravy and some mac n cheese. Of course it didn't taste anything like I remembered and it took forever to eat a small portion of each but I was so proud that I did it and relieved at the same time.
