You are probably doing just fine. This soon after surgery, you don't have to worry so much about the protein. I didn't have anything with protein til 12 days post-op. I was on clear liquids days 3 and 4 and then on full liquids til day 12. While on full liquids, I had V8 Juice, sf popscicles, water, Crystal Lite and a little (and I mean a little) broth. Not much protein there at all. My doctor didn't want us to have any dairy products the first two weeks. I'm sure when you progress to soft foods, you will find many ways to get protein.
