How Many Calories On The Post Op Diet?

I an on the full liquid diet until next Friday. I am have (3) 4 o. Meals and 2 shakes in between per dr instructions. I downloaded the app that counts your calories, was just curios, and it looks like I only had 500-600 Cal today. Which is basically what I have been doing. Is this safe? And is this normal? Not hungry:) but just worried.

My doctor didn't give me a calories count. During full liquids I had 3, 8oz cups of smooth soup (tomato) 100 cal each, 3 protein shakes 200 cals each, and jello. So around 900 cals.

I assuming we are talking about pre-op:

I'm at about 600 calories too. 2 protein shakes at 150 calseach=300 + a lean cusine or equivalent about (300 cals)= total 600 cals

During the pre-op and post-op periods, calories aren't super-critical. Make sure you get in the Protein and fluids your doc told you to get in, then worry about calories if you are feeling shaky.

Right after my first fill I was getting only about 500 calories in. My nutritionist told me that was fine for right after an adjustment. She said it will increase to around 1000-1200 a day, which is a good target for weight loss. I had to add some high calorie foods (nuts mostly) during this time if I felt too weak from so few calories. It worked itself out within a week of getting the fill.

I was around 10 weeks on 600 calories pre-op as i had weight to drop before surgery, I was fine and post-op it didnt increase much till i was eating solid food. Now i eat around a 1000 calories a day.
