I'm 5 wks out n I was wondering about how may calories everyone is eating?

It's all over the place for most people. At 5 weeks 400-600 calories is not abnormal. The doctors like you to get at least 65 gms of Protein if you are a woman and it seems like 600-800 calories is where this is doable. At my stage, post surgery, 18 months- my target is 1200. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Still low carb. High meat, veggies, and fruits.

I do a fair amount of Soup as I struggle to get my liquids in.
