Newbie and not sure where to post

I'm post op 4 days. Just started drinking the Protein Shakes which I'm able to drink a little and a little bit of pudding but I'm having to break it up in more than just the 3 meals. Anyway my question is am I supposed to be on a Protein Shake diet the first week or is it just liquids in general? I wanted to try some pure liquid Soups like Tomato with unflavored Protein Powder to give me a variety is that okay? I didn't really get a self diet plan just whatever was in the book I was given. The Protein shake isn't my fav thing and I was hoping to so something more flavorful and maybe that would help with my calorie intake.

Every doctor is different so you should speak to his/her office? Did you get a pamphlet or instruction book before surgery?

I was on liquids including shakes the first 4 days and then mushies for another 4 days.

Yes I got a booklet. Days 3-7 it says to have 3 Protein Shakes a day along with 2 other items which there was a list for like sf pudding and Jello applesauce and yogurt smoothies. I figured liquid was liquid. Just didn't want to screw anything up! I can start creamy Soups with no chunks on day 8. Just wasn't sure what exactly was meant. Maybe I will call to clarify. Thanks!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
