It depends on what type of surgery she had. If it were me I would call her and ask her what she is capable and wanting to eat. I would also fix something special for hubby too since he is the caregiver at this time. She just might be hungry for a pizza, or a cheeseburger, one never knows.

First I would start off with chicken soup which is good for whatever ails
you. I would cook something plain, maybe a roasted chicken, baked potato, and green beans.

I would like a Rotisserie chicken that way they can have some for sandwich the next day, some kind of rice maybe lemon with a little butter and green salad with a touch of raspberry vingeritte. Ummm, sounds like I've planned dinner tonight.

I can tell you what not to bring. When I had surgery, a well meaning friend brought me a huge bowl of outback steakhouse onion soup. The pain meds had made me really sick and the smell of that soup stunk up the whole house. I was super sensitive to smells. Be careful with some of those veggies because they can become gassy when combined with meds.
I would stick to something bland for a couple of days. Like a roast chicken or fish, baked potatoes, custard or rice pudding, tea. Maybe volunteer to stay with her while DH goes out to eat what he likes.

@Dazlin I usually either cook or get them chicken from their favorite restaurant. One of my friends loves fish so I cook her favorite Salmon dish or Sole, if she is on a restricted diet. For dessert, a fruit salad is usually good, if it was not a gastric surgery. Then when my friends recover, I make them chocolate mousse, they make me promise to make them mousse. One of my friends recently had a minor heart surgery and she wanted Banana Pudding. I was floored. Talk about heavy but gooood. I got it for her from Magnolia Bakery. Next time, hopefully there won't be any next time, I'll try to make it myself. I hope your friend feels better.

There was a recipe for a Chicken and Dumpling Casserole posted here awhile back. It is very good!!! It is made with cooked chicken, mixture of milk, flour, butter, Cream of Chicken Soup, and broth made from Better Than Bouillon.
It definitely makes enough for two meals/two people. I buy a small can of Grand's Biscuits (makes 5)...bake and serve casserole over them.....yummy! If you can't find recipe here, I could post it, if interested.
Also, another thought, how about a basket of mini-breakfast muffins/rolls or coffee cake with some specialty tea and/or coffee to start the day?
Note.......I just put it in search box above....found recipe.....posted in 2016.....thank you Charhug!!!
