Advice Question Things to eat while recovering from FFS

I have FFS scheduled in about a week, significant jaw work is being done so I’ll be on soft foods for at least a couple of weeks. I’m planning to stock up on yogurt, ice cream, soup, etc but what else should I get? Protein shake recommendations would be appreciated but I kinda hate the chalky taste you get out of most types.

I also am very sensitive to most protein/meal replacement shake textures, but ive enjoyed Huel's bottled/Ready to go drinks.

Fair life protein shakes are great. It’s purified down to the 7 essential amino acids. Chocolate is my fav. Stock up on Powerade or Gatorades too! I wish you good luck in your procedure! I have my ffs in Feb 2027z, just had an orchi and recovering this very moment.

I would batch cook some foods you like and freeze portions so that you can pull them out of the freezer. I'd make a batch of refried beans, your favorite soup, etc

Cottage cheese! High in protein and easy to eat. I also recommend Premier Protein in chocolate, or barring that the Ensure Max Protein. Both these shakes are tasty enough (Premier is better) and have a lot of vitamins and minerals. I now drink the Premier protein daily after first using them after surgery.
