What to have at home?

One thing that I never thought of but my NUT recommended and I use everyday is a mug warmer. I bought a little coffee mate one for $10 and it keeps my food/ broth warm while I eat it since it takes forever to get everything down.

that is an awesome idea, I wish I had done that, instead I just keep warming mine in the microwave

I wish I would have bought different tasting things instead of a bunch of the same. My taste changed a lot the first two weeks and it was hard to eat everything I tried pre-pp. For example, I only liked orange Popsicles and that was my least favorite before, the same with Jello.

I kind of did what you did. I am not a big Jello fan so I skipped most of the jello. I have orange and cherry and something else. One thing that my friend did for me was to buy me a bunch of packages of Ramen Noodles. Make the flavor packet with some Water and throw the noodles out since you can't have them. There is a multitude of flavors that way and that stuff is cheap.

Wow! Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond. Nothing like first hand knowledge from people who've been there. Lots of great ideas -- should keep me busy while I'm waiting!!
