I'm a person who need variety and I have a feeling that if I do want to eat after surgery ill get bored eating the same things. Could you offer some advice on what your favorite things to eat were? So far I've bought: sugar free jello/pudding , several flavors of protein including unflavored, applesauce pouches, and mashed potatoes. I'm trying to think of some soft foods/liquids that will be healthy! As of now I don't really want to live on jello and pudding! Lol. Any input would help! And my surgery is September 16th!

I was like you before surgery- I went out and bought a lot of variety, but honestly I'm 6wks out and most if the food I bought is still in my pantry!! I think you'll find that after surgery your taste buds will change. I find applesauce and yogurt to be my go to food, and the taste hasn't gotten old yet!

Your taste buds change so much that I would wait until after surgery.

I am 4 weeks out and have to go back on mushy for a week. I am tired of the same old same old. I just got on with a friend of mine and he gave me some ideas. Lots of things involve eggs - so depends on what your doc says about that. Weeks 1-3 i was fine with the same few things over and over - it is just now that I want more. But chicken salad, tuna, crackers, babybel cheese, apple banana sauce - those are standbys. Plus of course my "Taco Bowls" with ff refried beans, hamburger meat, laughing cow queso wedge, and a spoon of guac plus some taco sauce. Yummy.
