Ice cream, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, applesauce, cottage cheese, cream of wheat cereal, oatmeal, popsicles, milkshakes...get the picture? I promise that you won't starve.
Beware of fruit popsicles tho...I ate a lime popsicle and it burned.

Whatever you can get down. I'm not going to lie, you're going to be miserable. I had mine out a year ago and for 3 or 4 days all I ate was the spoonfuls of applesauce that had my crunched-up Percocet in them or a little mashed potatoes thinned with milk (pretty tasty when you haven't eaten for days!) Just make sure you're drinking enough fluids, that's more important than shoving food down at the beginning. I got some flavored soy-milk stuff and that was good, because it had protein in it and some calories. Try Slim-Fast also, it's a meal in a can.

In the hospital the diet is called an T&A diet. Which stands for the procedure you will have. You can have soft foods for the first 24-48 hours and should stay away from red colored foods for the same amount of time. The purpose of this is to know if your area of surgery is not actively bleeding. If you have red colored foods then active bleeding will be harder to detect. Your instructions will most likely include this when you talk with your physician.

Your doctor or nurse should have told you that by now. In any kind of surgery they usally tell you not to eat or drink anything after midnight before surgery. If you do you could get sick while under.
