i would make sure you had plenty for them to eat.

make sure you have you some supplies as well. like Water, sugar free Jello, no sugar added juice, Vitamins. and it all depends on what kind of diet your doctor puts you on. some like me have to have Clear liquids for 3 days post op and then full liquids until 14 days post op before i can go on mushie foods.

whos is doing your sirgery and where?

Hi! I made sure I had those liquid things but also plenty of protien options for me. Protien is really the key to controlling hunger for me and with all the low carb diets that are popular, it is easy to find protien alternatives in liquid. I also bought lots of "healthy" brothy Soups. The thought of plain broth was not appealing so I open a can of Soup and drain off the juice. That broth is much more tasty than plain broth. There isn't much of it but I have found that I don't need much and I could add regular broth to it if I needed to. Also, I found cheap sugar free popsicles which have been a lifesaver.

As for my family (42, 16, 13), I made sure they had plenty of quick type meals. My husband cooked hamburger helper or Breakfast or they ate out the first few days; then I started cooking again and I had made sure that I had crockpot or other easy put together type things to fix. I am planning to slowly blend my meals and theirs as I can eat more. I get to start mushies on Friday. The past 2 weeks of liquids only have been really easy for me.

Yes, my family's food looks and smells good but it is really not desirable because I know it is simply not an option. We were out-of-state this past weekend so they ate out a lot and I did fine. Our waitress at Cracker Barrel even brought me a bowl of the liquid part of their soup. I did buy a large container of good egg drop soup and strained off the egg. It was really good. I also bought minestrone soup at Olive Garden and strained off the broth; it was good.

I hope those options help. I have really tried to think outside the box.
