I am 5 weeks post op md says solids ok, having hard time w/ proteins

I did ok on liquids and purees but was trying more to just get a little in so i wouldn't be so tired and allow for healing. Now, that I have the greenlight, i am a bit gunshy about eating, i have tried a few things and do ok, but others "just don't feel right" then on top of that trying to get in protein, limit carbs, etc. some days it just seems easier to drink a few calories. I have tried some protein shakes, but those get old quick. Maybe I am just missing the way I used to eat, not sure, but its like i have trouble figuring out what to eat that i can eat that fits the parameters. I have tried to make an appt w/ nutrionist, but it will be a while. My md's recommendation is high protein with some carbs in small amounts. Thanks and I am sorry for rambling.
