Don't panic. You will be fine as it is not terrible. You need to buy Ensure and make sure you have it refrigerated (Chocolate and Vanilla). I found that mixing them together made a good drink. Drink ensure 2x per day. Get some V8 cans and have 1x a day. Beef and Chicken broth cans are great. Have once a day. Most soups with veg's or noodles can be simply put in a blender. Buy a variety of canned soups and have a blender ready. Mix them up good and then heat them on the stove. You will be very hungry after a few days and you will have no problem enjoying anything you make. I hate V8 but loved it when I was hungry (buy low sodium V8). Stock up on your favorite puddings and don't worry about diet (you won't gain weight). Try to find at CVS tongue suppressors and use them to feed yourself pudding. They are thinner than spoons and easy to get in to your mouth. The syringe they give you at the hospital didnt work well for me but it might for you. You can also drink ice cream shakes with fruit mixed up well.
Trust me, you will figure out what is best for you. You will have a lot of time on your hands recovering and plently of time to think of what to drink next. I hope all goes well. Best of luck.
