I had all four done in the hospital at once. It took a week before I could eat solid food again--just soup and squishy stuff at first! And boy did I eat for that first meal! We drove out to a isolated Lodge that serves the biggest meals I've ever seen. Their cinnamin buns are made in pie plates!!! It was great!! I'd push the Outback dinner back a couple days, but I have a friend who had all four done and went for burgers that night!!Maybe you'll be like her!
