Blair,
One thing that is never discussed is how much your throat hurts (or is dry) after surgery because of the tube placed down your throat. If allowed, I would bring something to suck on for the first couple of days, be it life savers or whatever, anything to keep your throat moist. I found that ice cubes don't last long enough. The key word is, if it's allowed on your restricted diet. Ask now, not after the fact.
