Dr says no more protein shakes

Yeah this doesn't seem right to me either. During the first 6 weeks your body is healing from surgery. It's common knowledge that incisions and even the muscles and tissues cut internally need Protein to heal, even extra protein at times for surgeries with larger incisions, so this seems counterproductive to me.

This is why I say, and the OP denies it, that there is some type of communication problem. I do not think it is a bad thing to stop the Protein Shakes, especially if you cannot get food down because they are so filling. I think that is reasonable. But, one meal per day is not only unbelievable, but it is borderline malpractice and clearly unhealthy. I find it hard to believe any doctor would prescribe such a thing.

I think there has to be some kind of miscommunication or misunderstanding here.

Yeah, that's straight up insane. Literally all of our plans right after surgery talk about 60-80g of Protein a day. I would seriously question your doctor's competence to guide you through this.
