Like @rpyle111 said, every program is different. And as @clcmfp pointed out, those protein shakes count towards your fluid intake as well. I just remember that fresh out of surgery, my stomach was (naturally) very sensitive. Sugar-free flavor like Mio or another brand was sickeningly sweet to me. Many brands of sugar-free popsicles were overpowering as well. And I remember how hard it was to choke down protein drinks post-op for that first month, so my sympathy is with you. Also noticed right away that the Strawberry flavored ones that I used to chug with no problem just plain gagged me post-op. The only one I can really tolerate is the chocolate one.

Like others have said, try to follow your programs instructions... But, ultimately what you put in your body is up to you. Some days you may get more protein in than others. As long as you're healing and feeling better each day that's what matters.
