I am recovering from gall bladder surgery. I know not the same thing but I suspect they will have you on a liquid diet, and work your way up to soft and more solid food.

Custards go down easy.

mware, "liquid diet" is going to help me find a whole bunch of foods. I'd been searching with other keywords but that will surely be most helpful. Thanks, and best wishes on your recovery. :-)

The most satisfying meal I had after gall bladder removal was fried chicken and artichokes. Sounds funny but I was not able to eat either for about 2 years before the surgery.

As far as the throat surgery, avoid acidic and salty food. Nothing will go down well for the first few days, try chipped ice to keep hydrated. Ensure sips now and then will be enough to keep the body from breaking down muscle for energy. Otherwise, you should be okay, the average American carries enough fat stores to survive on minimal food for a few weeks. The key thing is not to get dehydrated.

I just had mine removed about a week ago. How are you feeling?
