Here are a couple recipes that I still have.  They would be for a couple weeks out after surgery.  High in protein and low in calories.  Yummy too. 

Mexican Style Omelet
1 cup low fat cottage cheese
2 ounce can diced green chilies (they aren't hot)
1/4 cup egg substitute (I just use real egg)
1 ounce grated low fat jack/cheddar cheese
Mix together and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until set.

No Noodle Cheese Lasagna
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup marinara or spaghetti sauce
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp basil
2 egg whites (I just use an egg)
Mix together and bake at 350 or until set.


ahhh look what I found.  My 2-4 week plan the nutritionist sent to me.  I didn't include the part with recipe samples they gave because it is too long to post here. 
Yeah, doctors give different plans and it depends on your health too and how well you do, so you will have to see what they tell you to do.
(The place I went is a center for excellence that specializes in WLS.)
Preop and postop, I had to buy high protein foods/liquids from them.  Preop, was not all liquids but a "low residual" diet and postop was liquids for 2 weeks of course.
I don't agree 100% with all of it like taking 30-45 minutes to eat.  If it took me that long, I'd be able to eat more and how long does it take to eat 1/2 a cup of something?  lol
