If you are having trouble with getting enough Protein during the liquid phase, try Syntrax Nectare Protein powder. It was mentioned during my Bariatric classes. It has 23 grams per scoop and can be placed in Water, non-fat milk, or other liquid. It comes in different flavors. I bought the vanilla Torte and it's REALLY good! I was surprised! One drink 3 times a day will give you the 60 gm per day you need in the beginning post-op. I bought it on-line. Try Google it. Oh, yea... I bought different flavorings from the baking/ spice section in the market and use to change the flavor. Since vanilla is easy to combine, I now can make strawberry-vanilla, vanilla-rum, orange-vanilla, etc. No extra calories and only a few drops per glass.
