What has he been doing so far as far as liquids? I tend to start people out on clears for a few awhile. Ie: Broth, Juice, Jello, Coffee (no cream), water, popsicles, pulpless juice. Then work my way up to Full Liquid. Ie: Cream soups without the little bits of stuff, dairy products, and all the other liquids. I would add the protein shake with some puree banana during this time frame.

Typically depending on the severity of the case, I would say the process on liquids would be 2-3 days (both clears and full liq). Then advance the diet to low fiber, bland, tender sorts of things. As condition improves add 5-7 grams of fiber per day + adequate fluid and ambulation. This will also help the bowel movement some more too.
