I'd rather drink. Is this normal?

I am 4 weeks post-op today, so I am still on the puréed stage. I should start regular food this coming weekend. My problem is I'd rather drink my protein shakes for meals than eat food. If you told me this when I was in the liquid stage I would of said you are nuts! Nothing is really very appealing (mushy food gets old quick). Is it ok that I am still drinking protein shakes so much? I'll have one for breakfast and lunch and try to eat a small dinner.
