Please be careful of strained soups and ice cream. Many surgeons do not want you to eat/drink MILK products prior to surgery. Definitely check with your surgeon. Each surgeon is different in what they request.

I agree with the others. I was also allowed Cream of Wheat (NOT oatmel, though). Make sure to run all of your soups through a strainer, even a teeny tiny piece of something can get caught in your newly swollen pouch. The tube leading out of the pouch is about the size of the hole in a toothpaste tube - that's small and imagine if it is swolen with new stitches. Stick to your surgeon's/nutritioist's orders and you'll be fine. Those S/F popsicles were my big treat - cheered me up if I was blue.
