First of all, you'll only be able to eat once your doctor can hear bowel sounds through a stethoscope. In the beginning the foods you'll get are probably going to be ice chips and then liquids (such as soda, apple juice, broth and water). If your stomach accepts liquids, then you may be allowed to diversify your food intake and eat custard, applesauce and ice cream. If your stomach doesn't have any problems digesting them, you can return to a regular diet within 24 to 36 hours.
