jello, pudding!! help!

Hi there, I have a date of 8-9-04 I'm have so many emotions going on right now. I know we are going to be on clear liquids first and then full liquids then pureed diet. Does anyone have a list of foods to buy and have ready for when your home? I got as far as jello and pudding lol. Help thanks, ALMA

I am doing liquids a week before surgery... full liquids right now... pudding, chicken broth, v-8 juices, ensure with protein.... popsicles, grits... if you have seen the dietician... use them.. I just called mine and asked for a better list of foods.. she said no one has ever called and asked for that... i told her i want to do it right no mistakes... since i am doing a revision... i know what i can't eat after surgery... its just the liquid part that is hard.... Good luck Debra
