I also think it's important to eat what you like. Even if your taste is not effected, the pain after surgery can be so bad that you just drink Ensure. I like the strawberry!! Brushing your teeth can be bad too. But....it usually lasts about 2 weeks then you can begin eating a bit more normally. That was my experience.
