Thanks so much!
I guess I need to hit the stores. I just ordered some sample packs of Isopure and some Unjury samples. I hear the chicken soup is awesome. I thought I should try some soon and order some more of what I like to get me by for the first weeks or so until I can move on to mushies. I guess my doc goes slow on reintroducing foods, so it might be a while before I can eat the normal stuff.
Thanks for you post and I hope your recovery is going well. It looks like you just had surgery. Message me how you are doing if you would like. I would love to hear how your surgery went and how you are doing now.
Thanks for responding to my question!

I havent had my surgery yet.. They hvent given me the exact date but the said it should be in mid august - early september.
I've been trying to figure out things i should get for after surgery aswell.. But then i saw some posts of people mentioning how their taste changed after surgery.
I'm just gonna get sample packs of stuff and only order more of what i like, after surgery.. Just incase my taste is to change. lol.
but i'm loading up on crystal light. love that stuff.haha.

My only suggestion would be to not stock up on too much. I swear, I wasted so much in that first month or so post-op! Buy a few different things to try...but, not too much of any one thing! Best of luck to you!

Thanks for your input ladies!
I love Crystal Light too. I guess since soda will be out, it will become my new favorite drink. I can see how you could get too much of it after a while though.
I ordered several variety packs of stuff to try. I am tempted too to wait to try them since my taste could change. My only concern is I ordered them on line and I worry that I will be out of stuff while waiting for a new order to arrive. I guess I will see how long this order takes to get here.
Thanks again for you advice. The people on this forum are so wonderful!
