Hi I had my surgery on thur 2-7. I did 2 weeks optifast before and I am now on diet very similiar to yours. I also must ingest 2 tsp. of olive oil every day! Nasty. but I found a way that isnt quite so intolerable. Beef broth,lil seasoning and the oil. today I also added powdered milk to get some protien I am told I must do this to protect my gallbladder. We also were given a few recipes to boost protein let me know if you would like them. Good luck to you, I wish I was further down the road like you. I still have lots of stomache tenderness.
