Apparently I am unprepared for the post op full fluids diet. Any suggestions on what I can eat?

I'm 4 weeks out tomorrow but I can't eat yogurt until I'm 6 weeks out. Problem is, I dont' like yogurt! Right now, I'm just on protein shakes and broth.
Also, get some Welch's 100 pure grape juice in the house. It works WONDERS for nausea (diluted, of course) and lots and lots of sugar free popsicles!
Good luck!!

My first week on liquids (clear and full) was based on the following: tea - lots of different flavours for variety, broth (chicken and beef with unflavoured protein powder), G2, water, Ocean spray diet (also a variety of flavours), premier RTD chocolate shakes, unjury chicken soup, some milk towards the end of the week, one very runny soft boiled egg (in my plan), bariatric choice oatmeal thinned down a lot, a baby food jar of veg and pureed chicken also thinned down with broth to liquid consistency, you can have jello if you like it. I don't so I didn't but its in my liquid phase plan.

I'm still on clear liquids and I've been having lots of broths with added protein powder, SF jello (I have a batch in the fridge that I added protein to as an experiment) WATER, flavored waters, Vitamin water zero, hot tea (really enjoying ginger tea since it calms the stomach), SF popsicles, decaf coffee and miso soup (strained) and of course friut flavored protein shakes mixed with water only. No mil****il I'm at goal/75% excess weight lost.
When I move to full liquids I can move to using vanilla/chocolate protein powder.

My list said creamed soups, Campbell's Soup at Hand, low fat milk or light soy milk, protein powder, broth, SF jello, SF popsicles, Dannon Light and Fit Yogurt Smoothies, non-fat dry milk powder. I could include the clear liquid diet of water, ice chips, clear broths, SF jello, caffeine free tea, SF popsicles, and Crystal Light.
I was so nauseous during that time that the soups tasted awful and so did the protein shakes. I mostly drank milk, water, and miso broth.
