I don't know that I would be "trying" to get in 800 calories at 14 days out. Sounds like an impossible mission to me. As far as the food choices that you currently have to select from I assume that the doctor gave you a list? The best that I could offer would be to vary your choices from that list. Only time will allow you to incorporate different food items. And then it becomes a series of trial and error to find out what your new stomach can tolerate and what it will not.
I would keep trying to find something else to drink if the Powerade is high in calories as you do not want to drink your daily allotment of calories in high caloric beverages.
It is a big change. Something that I don't think one can be totally prepared for mentally. However, with weight loss comes other changes that offset the food changes.
