How do I get all the protein and liquids in?

I am six weeks post op and having a terrible time with being able to eat anything normal. I have stuck to two HMR protein shakes with a little milk (mostly water) each day plus 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and maybe 12 oz of other liquid for a whole day. If I try anything else, my chest feels constricted and my stomach cramps plus after getting in the required medicines (11 total spread throughout day) I have no desire to eat. Any suggestions? I have tried eggs, no-fat shredded cheese, oatmeal, mashed potatoes, fruit in my shakes, jello, soups....and none of it is appealing plus the cramping makes me wary.
