First of all Congrats on having your date! This is exciting. I am 6 months out and what i had noticed that pre and post op jello in seperate containers like a four pack or a larger pack with a variety is better than the box jello, you may need it well after when its time to get ur fills, so it will come in handy . That goes for puddings too. Soups are good but get low sodium, you don't want to over buy b cuz u r NOT gonna want to eat and just getting the water in is gonna be a challenge at first. I LOVE premier protein shakes they come in a case at sams club or costco. you can just chill them and drinkas you r able and they don't go bad, i still have the big tub of protein mix i bough! Hardly used it, Goood luck and many prayers coming ur way!
