Need Help

Had my surgery on 6/6. I came home Friday afternoon. I have been drinking only Carnation instant breakfast, 4oz every 2 hrs and then water,tea etc during the other hour. I really need to know if I can eat anything else. I don't think I can do this for 3 weeks. I need to call the doctor tomorrow as I can't take this, it's awful. I read lots of things where people love this and are doing so great....how are they doing it for the first three weeks. Can someone write down what they ate so I can see some options? Ay help is appreciated, I feel like crap!

Coconut water is allowed in my diet also oranges not orange juice just don't swallow white stuff. Even if coconut water has 15 grams of sugar I drink it because it helps me with keep hydrated

I found some at GNC. I love all the flavors! Right now I have a case of blue raspberry that is delicious!

The Isopure Protein drink tastes kinda like filmy Gatorade. It kinda coats my tongue. But it's not a bad taste. It is tolerable. They are best cold cold cold and so far I have tried the fruit punch one and the blue raspberry. The fruit punch is not very sweet, the blue raspberry is very sweet. My taste buds apparently changed following surgery and I don't like super sweet things right now... So I don't care for the blue raspberry. I also have mango peach to try. I only purchased them for my 1 week of clear liquid diet following surgery which I am almost done with. They are quite expensive (over $5.00 for 1 20 oz bottle) but they were better tasting than my Body Fortress Cookies and Cream mixed with Water ( MAJOR YUCK!) They can be purchased at GNC. My GNC let me purchase 3 individual bottles in 3 different flavors (they had to open cases to let me do this) but I didn't want a whole case of them. 12 bottles is more than 1 full month of ALL my Celebrate Vitamins, Iron and Calcium. Yikes! Good luck finding something you enjoy.
