Hi, I appreciate your post but that isn't what I asked - I am not asking
if I
should go on a liquid diet, only if regular protein shakes would work the
same
as a structured liquid fast... :-)

Hell no. These liquid diets have been designed to provide a good mix of
nutrients. Trying to live off of protein shakes for an extended period of
time would probably land you in the hospital, or worse.
