Hope your husband is doing well and I am sorry to hear about the
surgery. I was in Brazil when I had surgery similar to your husband's.
I was on liquids for a week, then soft foods for another week. I had
never met the surgeon before, so this was interesting if not unusual.


The doc said that I might be lactose intolerant for several months, and
gluten intolerant. IOW, if you ate bread, pastries, muffins, donuts,
etc., you would get tons of gas. Milk would give diarrhea, but milk
never gave me a problem. The doc has probably give him a list of foods
he can eat. I hope he heals swiftly.
