 Congrats on your weight loss and your commitment to walking, that's really great...keep it up.  

Just try to eat/drink when you can as much as you can tolerate when you sit down to eat.  I was never huge on protein shakes because my nutritionists stress balance in food, which I agree with, but look for a protein that is low sugar/carbs around 20g or more of protein per serving.  

I wouldn't really stress out about not getting enough of anything because you are so newly out of surgery.  Slowly, you will begin to eat more and tolerate more.  Don't forget to drink water all day too and take the vitamins.  

Good luck!

 Congratulations on your surgery and on walking! I had my surgery on May 24 and can't think of walking that far right now. Someone posted on the main board with ideas for getting in 90 grams of protein a day. I also have an awesome shake recipe.

I c. ff milk (8 grams of protein)
1 scoop GNC Whey protein isolate in cookies and cream(28 grams of protein)
2 tbsp organic (no sugar) pure cocoa powder (2 grams of protein!)
mix in a blender or blender cup and tada 38 grams of protein in one cup!
Drink three of these a day and you will have eaten 114 grams of protein - which is more than enough!

It tastes pretty good too and I HATE protein shakes. This is my husband's recipe.He is the best!
He also tried freezing this and then mixing it in the food processor a little before eating it. That tasted just like ice cream!!
