I was told I could drink two or three protein shakes a day and one low fat, sensible meal. Well I'm concerned about all the calories these shakes have. So I guess my question is there a calorie number I need to stay under for these next 7 days? I feel like I have turned into an idiot the closer I get...afraid to do something wrong! Lol! She didn't say I needed to lose a certain amount of weight before but just to do the preop!

My surgery is on April 17th and I just started the liquid diet today and I was told by my surgeon to have only 2 protein shakes daily with a light dinner such as a salad or low protein such as fish or boiled chicken

Oh. Ok. Well I guess I'm over thinking it but don't you need to limit the calories even on a full liquid diet? Soups and jello have calories! And protein drinks.
