As Don is on pain killers, I'm pretty secure on what to feed him that
doesn't cause constipation (slow muscle movement not working as well
causes that as a side effect of many pain killers).

I would however like other ideas to expand my ideas for him, ones that
maybe you know that have not occured to me?

For now, he's having 1/2c red grapes to match the ham bits he wanted.
He's hungry at last having not eaten all day so matching that with an
egg salad sandwich. Weak infusion of iced tea with very minimal sugar.

Tomorrow it's butter beans and a modicum of pulled pork (bulk but
nothing slow to pass the intestinal tract since the pork will be a low
amount) and some cabbage cole slaw. Soup the rest of the time.
