There can never be too much juice info!
softness - I pretty much lived on mashed potatoes after my recent surgery. I was only on non solids for a few days but they were like the best thing ever. The instant one's in the cups, they're quick and easy and oddly satisfying. Di also made me some with cream cheese so I could at least tell myself it was a little bit of protein.
Since it's stomach surgery, you may find that you react to things differently than before surgery. I'd say stock up on easy stuff until you're up and around - applesauce, jello, etc. - and then try things a little bit at a time until you see what works for you.
I don't know if Ensure tastes better than it used to but there are other options and they are usually available in a regular grocery store. I liked the chocolate Boost but any of the meal replacement drinks would probably work.
