Why are you scared?
For the record, I hate protein shakes. I don't drink them. I like Atkins shakes, though, and I have one of those every morning.
And soft foods will give you a renewed sense of energy-being able to eat real food again will put you in a better mood. Give it some time before committing to regrets. :)

I know its hard. I myself can not stand the protein shakes. I do not drink them. Neither my surgeon or Nut has told me to. I have tried on my own because it seems like the right thing to do. I was never on a liquid diet. The day before surgery I had to do clear liquids but other than that I have been eating. I was on pureed food from the day after surgery and at one week I went on soft foods. I dont know why the surgeons are so different.
I was having a hard time anyway. I wanted to eat. At first I thought it was head hunger. I wasnt feeling physically hungery at all. That wasnt it though. I didnt want a particular food. I wanted to eat. I wanted the satifaction and pleasure that I got from the act of eating. I went into a depression for the first 3 weeks or so. I had nothing to replace the act and feeling I got from eating. ( eatiing 2 oz. of food 3 times a day was not enough to enjoy the act of it.) Its not as easy as we may think its going to be.Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut,,,,,,,,
I am now six weeks out. I am noticing so may changes in my body. Other people are noticing. Food has become so unimportant to me. It is now a chore to eat not a pleasure. I am not depressed any more. I am getting pleasure from watching the scale go down, from watching my clothes get bigger and bigger. My mind is changing, my body is changing.
It is so hard at first. I feel for you!! But I also know it is going to get better. This stage will pass. I had thoughts of what have I done to myself as well. It will pass. When you start feeling better and seeing all the changes in yourself that happen so fast it will be worth it. I am glad now that I had the surgery. I wish I would have done it much sooner.
Good luck to you sweety my prayers will be with you!! It will get better.

I concocted my own shake as I also couldn't stand the powdered stuff.
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
;1/3 cup skim milk
1, 2oz scoop of unflavoured whey protein isolate
1/3 pkt crystal lite
blend in my magic bullet and voila a delicious smoothy with 27 grams of protein, 157 cal, 0 fat and 12 carbs.
Not sure if that's helpful but I promise it will get better soon. Don't be afraid to try the next stage of food. Just try a little and go slowly. You should be fine.
Good luck,
Andrea.
