One thing you might want to do, is do half a protein shake at a time. So you'd only be drinking three total all day but drink them half or one, six times a day. You may feel better if you get your protein more spread out.
Drink a LOT. For some reason, sometimes I find warm drinks more satisfying, so try some tea or broth if you feel really hungry.
You should be able to have sugar free popsicles as well, so eat a lot of those and a lot of jello.
Stay focused on your goal. Remind yourself this is only two weeks. You can do anything for just two weeks.

For me, it got easier after the 3rd day. I think my body realized that no matter how hungry it made me, I was not going to eat so it stopped making mesuffer as much and I wasn't hungry all the time.
I found broth with a sprinkle of Mrs. Dash in it helped a lot. Felt more like actual soup with all the little Mrs. Dash tidbits in there. And it was more satisfying than the sweet shakes.
Sugar free popsicles are also very helpful.
Good Luck! One day at a time and you will make it.

I'm on the second week of my liquid diet. At first it was hard, darn belly would not shut up. By the third day though it sort of just starting falling into place. I have been using Isopure, and try freezing it and shaving it like a snowcone. It actually not bad.
The thing that has saved me though are the popcicles. It is like having a sweet little snack everyday, and if you want a second.
Hang in there and the cravings just sort of went away after the 3rd day.
