Optifast after surgery?

How soon after surgery did you get the OK to drink protein shakes/optifast? I was sleeved on Thursday and my doc said I could go ahead with the shakes.

    I was sleeved 5/12/14 & started back on protein when I got home 2 days later. I did not have any issues with this. I was on liquids for 2 weeks & needed the protein shakes to get in the 60 grams each day. I'm amazed at the different opinions each surgeon & NUTs have as to what you can eat & for how long.
