• clear juice
  
• tea (if you like it)
  
• broth
  
• yogurt, preferably Greek because it's higher protein
  
• skim milk
  
• protein drinks, but make sure it's not loaded with sugar and calories
  
• cream Soups with no chunks
  
• sugar free jello
  
• oatmeal (but prepared really watery)
  

• heating pad, it helps the discomfort for some
  
• gas X strips

If you have prescriptions that need to be filled for post op pain medication, or if your maintenance medications needed to be changed ( I had to have several changed to liquid form, 1 chewable), do that ahead of time.

Also, I relied mostly on liquid Tylenol for post op pain management...so it would be helpful to have that as well.

Some doctors want you to have a Fiber supplement along with your liquid diet, if so, purchase them ahead of time.

Best wishes...
