Starting liquid diet and don't know where to go

I started my diet today from my surgeon with two protein shakes a day and a small dinner protein and vegetables and I'm still really hungry and I was not sure if anyone else is going through this. I'm finding that I am drained and very tired and very emotional anybody have any suggestions or guidance? My surgery is February 28 so I still have a while to go but I believe I will be on a liquid only diet for two weeks. How did anybody make the transition?

It's hard....but I'd add more protein. You cab get protein drinks at a vitamin store that are sort of Gatorade type drink. I keep on in the fridge and when I get hungry I go chug some. It helps! So does chugging water to fill the stomach. But protein is the key to feeling less hungry

I've been drinking the special K protein shakes for lunch and breakfast and for dinner tonight I have some small protein with the salad and some carrots and during the day I did have two giant glasses of water any suggestions on a good protein shake? I'm finding it hard for me to get the food in cause im not really hungry and now it's late at night and I'm starving

DOnt do the special k, slimfast, boost drinks. too much sugar will limit weight loss. folks on a fast have horrible attitudes! the lack of protein will will keep u hungry, atkins worked for me! I also like body fortress (walmart) whey protein powder mixed with milk. easy, filling, great! even if you have 5 shakes a day. til u get the hang of things.
