So I'm 3 weeks post op and eating soft foods. My birthday is November 17. My family and friends want to have a get together with appetizer type food for them ( a meal for me lol ) and do presents. They keep asking what they could make for me because they want to support me and include me like normal. Ideas???!!!!

Quiche and chicken salad are a couple of ideas.

Reeeeallly softly baked salmon

You inspire me. Remember the diner talk you've heard in sitcoms and movies? For you we order:

Two melted candles, hold the cake!

Happy, happy birthday to you.

Tuna salad, egg salad, fish of any kind soft cooked, all with light mayo of course no full fat. Happy birthday

Guacamole ?

One of the simplest and most flavorful homemade foods I've ever encountered.

Maybe by then you'll be able to eat Quest chips or could make some kale chips to spread it on.

Another thought that comes to mind would be a Crockpot of chili, stew, Soup. Sure is the right time for it and everyone could enjoy it.

Happy Birthday and you have a great supportive family. Good stuff.

I had surgery 3 weeks before my birthday. My family took me to a frozen yogurt shop. I could only eat a tiny amount but it felt like a celebration and a birthday treat.

Kale chips are yummy, but not strong enough to dip in anything! LOL

Soup is a great idea. And any kind of soft fish! Good luck!
