When I went to schedule my surgery, my doctors office gave me a packet of info...
Two weeks preop liquid... 3 liquid meals..with 3 snacks of 2 cups liquid and 1 cup nonstarchy veggies...(non calorie liquid or sugar free jello or broth)
For postop....2 weeks of liquid... getting 60 grams of protein per day... Each shake is 10-20...
So that would be 3 or 4 per day.... And no calorie liquids....
After 2 weeks for weeks 3,4,5 I go to puree... 1/4 cup ... 60 grams of protein per day... Supplement with shakes if not able to eat..

Hang in there, this is the toughest time I think. It will get easier and you will learn what works for YOU and until you get your fills and restriction you just gotta go at it full force. You can do it, you've made it this far. :)
