Food Ideas Post-Op.......Surgery on the 16th!

I am having surgery on the 16th and I have my doctors instructions, but still need specific examples of foods you guys have eaten during the 4 week post-op period. My diet will be one week liquids, one week mushies, one week soft foods, and then the 4th week I will gradually add in regular foods. Please help.....any recipes, websites, etc. will be appreciated. I think after this 14 day liquid/protein diet, a think of Campbell's Soup in Hand will feel like a big feast to me! I am happy I have done well with the liquid diet, but it has been an experience. Thanks for any suggestions you "experienced" people may have!

I was never big on egg drop soup - frankly, I thought the consistency left much to be desired - BUT - I saw a recipe and it's great for a good shot of Protein.

Heat up a cup of chicken broth, when it comes to a boil add a scrambled egg, toss a little corn starch in for thickening (not much) and top with pepper, a little salt and I always throw in green onions.

It's been a long time since my surgery, but this is still one of my favorite foods when my stomach needs a break from solids.

Good luck!
