A word of caution: early on I too was limited to soft foods--Jello, puddings, a little ice cream--or liquids like broths. However, on the evening the home care nurse came to hook up my nutrition pump my blood sats measured in the low-80s%, ending in an ambulance trip and 5 days hospitalization for aspiration pneumonia. Since that day in Feb. I have not taken anything orally except an occasional sip of ice water, which doesn't stay down long. Best wishes on your outcomes.
