Still only 7 days post op so no meat or vegetables.

Hello everyone, I really need help with a couple of things. 7 days post op VSG. 1) When the form from the Dr. says Goal: 40-60 grams Protein per day, does that mean you should have at least that much, or try to have even more Protein shakes, like 90 or 120 grams of protein? In other words, are they limiting you to no more than 60 grams because of the calories, or do they want you to drink a Protein shake like 3 or 4 times a day, which would be many more grams of protein than the 40-60 (like 90 or 120 grams). 2) Also, why is it that you are limited to drinking no more than 8 OZ of Water or Fluid per hour. Will it stretch the sleeve? Or might it just fill you up? And if one is able to drink a whole water bottle of 16 OZ in less than half an hour is that bad for the healing sleeve? Thanks for all your replies! Ljp
