Go to your local commissary and buy yourself some Banguet 99 cent meals. The soggy meat and runny mashed potatoes go down easy. Chicken Fried Steak is a good choice.
Pasta is also a good choice, just cut it up and swallow. No need to chew.
I had mine out the same exact way, IV sedation in a hopital. A little woosy after I got out but a nice nap made me feel better, take your pain pills, rest, and relax as I'm sure you have a good 3-days off duty.
