Average Daily Calories On Full Liquid

I am post op x6 days. Still on the full liquid diet. I cannot seem to get very many calories in or am I just silly. I am averaging 40 to 60 on the protein. but with a calorie counter my numbers are like 800 for the day. I am supposed to have low cal juices and such, thin full liquids. Is this unusual?? Just asking. thanks

    Your calories seem to be in the "ball park"...but now your focus should be on healing. Part of your healing will be to get sufficient Protein daily and to focus on getting additional SF/FF fluids to stay properly hydrated.

    Reads like you are off to a great start!

    I went 17 days post op on liquids before I saw my doctor. I lost 16 pounds in 17 days and I was around 800-900 calories each day. You can do it!

    thanks everybody. I feel better tonight knowing i am in the "ballpark" It is just weird not feeling hungry and yet so few calories. I am sure that will change as the swelling goes down. thanks again
