It would keep you from getting scurvy (it has Vitamin C) but it doesn't look like it would offer much in the way of caloric intake from macronutrients. I'm sure it keeps you regular with all that fiber, though.

As /u/levb1 mentioned, you might have problems with choking on food and drink if if you are not careful or don't learn to swallow differently. My dad had a similar surgery about 10 years ago and he finds himself coughing and choking on things much more often than before. Maybe consider seeing a speech pathologist/therapist that has experience with swallowing therapy (har har, I know...) if you find this to be an issue. Good luck and get well!

It wasn't really nonstop though...

Technically it's a fining agent, not a filtration medium (which would be something like DE, cellulose, membrane, etc.). But yeah, the idea is that it's not in the final product in appreciable quantities (though possibly in trace) .

Hello from California.

I have two questions:

1. What aircraft was the most enjoyable to fly and why?

2. You said you've mostly been a trainer, but you also mentioned flying the MiG-21 in active duty. Did you ever fly combat missions in it? If yes, what were they like? Have you ever been in a dog-fight?
