Yes make sure you have a supply of sugar free Popsicles. I am 10 days post op and so glad my co worker thought of this for me (no big deal to me at the time). Also be sure to have a variety of clear soup bases ready, you will get bored and grossed out on the same ones over and over. Get different flavored gelatin too. Have your different creamy soups ready too...my stage right now. I was sleeved 4/30 @ Memorial Herman DT
