At this point you should be on Clear liquids. Protein shakes fall in the "full liquid" phase that comes next. The rough break down is as follows:

1st week - clear liquids

2nd week - full liquids

3rd week - puree stage

4th week - soft food stage

5th week - normal food

Your doctor may have given you different advice but this is the general standard.

As far as Vitamins, use chewables.

@Proud2Bme. Some post op diets include protein shakes in clear liquid stage. Every program seems a little different.

I would speak with your Surgeon or Nutritionist. Make sure you are sipping small amounts.

Have you talked to your surgeon?

I didn't have to start taking vitamins right away. I know some bariatric vitamins can make you nauseous.

Definitely give your NUT and/or surgeon's office a call for guidance. Getting in enough protein and fluids is critical.

Proud2beme.... That's my progression as well and I am 1 week post op. I have not vomited even once. But I want food... Smh! I drank Lyft Protein waters mostly and now EAS Advantage Protein shakes and chicken broth.
