My surgeon wants me on liquids for SIX WEEKS!

For the first week, he had me on clear liquids like broth and whatever worked for me to drink. (water somehow made me feel ill)At my 1 week post op visit, he told me he wanted me on creamy liquids like Cream of Potato and to strain out the chunks for 5 more weeks. I know this is the time that I will lose the most weight, and eating as he suggests will maximize my weight loss, but I am going crazy! And it's only been 2 weeks and a day! Does anyone else have a surgeon this strict? Am I going to starve to death? I'm not really hungry, but my brain keeps wandering to pizza, and burritos, and all the junk that made me fat in the first place. It is really going to be a struggle to make it six weeks!
