Make sure you are mentally prepared for not eating anymore and taking tiny sips all day. I just had my surgery 5 days ago and I was a little unprepared. I'm still working on getting more fluids in and my tastes have definitely changed so its hard. I just want to eat something that I can chew and I feel hungry all day.  Its a little better now that I've gone from clear liquid to full liquid and I'm sure pureed foods in a couple of weeks will be a little better but I can't wait for Xmas day when I can start eating regular food. Liquids aren't really cutting it for me. 

Where did you have surgery, cabakarich?  Your plan sounds like mine. You in Texas?

I'm in Sacramento California. Its amazing how different areas have different plans. I figured it would be the same all around.
