You just had major surgery to your stomach so while you aren't really in pain anymore, your stomach is still healing, swollen and probably kind of numb at this point.
Keep adhering to your 2 ounce rule, however, 3 times a day is not enough unless you are supplementing with protein shakes also.
Start thinking 5-6 small meals/snacks of protein 3 hours apart. If you are soft foods for your 3 meals, then add some oikos triple zero yogurt as a snack and a protein shake as another. Also get your water in. Wait 1/2 hour after eating and sip or guzzle away until your next meal or snack.
