How do I eat more?

I had RNY on 6/1/10 and at four weeks out am on soft foods. The meal replacement shakes I was on for the last few weeks are now gross and I can't stand them! Soft foods are cottage cheese, string cheese, laughing cow light swiss, canned chicken, tuna to go, and no sugar added diced peaches. I can only eat about 450 calories a day (there's only so many hours in the day!). For example, my lunch today was 1 oz of canned chicken. It took me 45 minutes to eat and was only 25 calories! I know I'm not eating enough and now am getting a chest cold. Anyone have any ideas of how I can get more tolerable calories in?
