Hat kinds of foods should I get for after surgery I got a few jars of baby food and protien shakes but is that all I will need? My date is tomorrow may 1st

Get a couple of cans of chicken broth but not to many. I still have tons left. Sf popsicles too.

beef broth too. and SF jello.

Broth for sure is a must for clear liquids. Maybe a couple cans of cream soups like cream of chicken (you will still have to blend these) for when you start full liquids. Don't buy too much, I way over bought and still have a pantry full of soup. Milk and V8 were great for me when I could do full liquids too. I also needed SF pudding to take my PPI.

Honestly, I wouldn't break the bank on anything. Before surgery I loved the sf pudding/Popsicles, chicken broth, protein drinks, etc. Now after surgery I can't tolerate any of that without feeling sick. Your taste buds will change, so don't be surprised.

Buy almost nothing until after surgery. I've got a pantry full of stuff I bought so I would be prepared and then, after surgery, couldn't stand the thought of eating. Just make sure you have vitamins, a sampling of protein drinks and maybe a couple of cans of soup. Then, after surgery, buy what sounds good. Trust me, what sounds good today will make you gag post-op. You're going to be eating so little after surgery you don't need to have a pantry full. The tastiest broths I had after surgery were strained soups. I'd strain out the chicken and noodles, for example, so I could have the liquid only. Good luck!
