My wife and I have been getting her pre-approved by insurance for the past year. She is going to have her surgery in September. So we were thinking that we should start getting used to eating the types of foods that we have to eat once the liquid and soft diets are done, so it won't be such a drastic change. I need to find as many normal recipes as possible. and any tips on making the liquid and soft diets more enjoyable/acceptable would be awesome. Thanks all.
