Immediate Post Op Diet Question

I had my surgery on Friday April 1

Okay, so, my surgeon gave me a book for all the information that I need regarding before, during and after surgery. So I was just reading up on post op diet this morning and there is some conflicting information in here. One part says I can start the full liquid diet after I leave the hospital, another part says to start full liquids on day 5. I would love to start full liquids now as it would be much easier for me to get my Protein, liquid and calories. I'm having a hard time right now. Today I did get down two Sobe Lifewater Zero's. One had half a scoop of Protein powder. I also got in a high protein chicken bullion, but all that adds up to 55 oz fluids, 30 g protein and 135 calories. I am not at all hungry and getting this down is a chore. If I could just switch to my Premier Protien shakes and some yogurt I would be so happy. I'm just not sure.

If it helps, my surgeon allowed Premier Protein during my clear phase.

I just opened the book that came from the Weight Control Center that I was at for the 6 months preop stuff and it also says we go home on full liquids. Man, I've been killing myself today trying to get this down! I'm getting a Premier Protein shake and I'm going to enjoy it! Slowly, but still lol!
