We have a ton of horrible names of things, so I do cherish when we come up with a good one!
Re: nutrition: honestly, no one knows for sure. The pancreatic surgery paper I think was on the order of a month; my guess is that's probably enough, unless you're malnourished in some way, which is unlikely?
Re: fiber: yes, absolutely! But depending on your colon and the amount of painkillers you take, it may not be enough. I trained in general surgery, so I'm obsessed with the guts and preventing constipation. My rule is anyone who is taking opiates also is offered a senna daily--prevention is better than cure, but we're biased: we are the ones who take out exploded colons (rare! not a threat!). My advice is to have a very itchy finger on the trigger of the back-up drugs :)
