Another bowel blockage

I was hospitalized from March 21 to March 31. I had an NG tube and was only allowed ice chips for a couple of days. They started unhooking the NG tube and let me eat after about the 4th day. They were talking about removing the tube and letting me go home when I threw up again. Apparently, I can't handle melons. They put me back on suction for the NG tube and clear fluids. They slowly advanced my diet to regular food. Once I could eat regular food, they took out the NG tube and let me go home. I was told to eat low fiber for a month or two and that I might have problems in the future.
