There is no "total" when you're only 3 weeks out. You're just getting started.

Not many people get enough Protein or calories 3 weeks out. Hell, I'm 5 months out and still only get about half the calories my NUT wants me eating, and admittedly don't get quite enough protein most days. Or at least a good chunk of some days.

As for eating the right foods, what foods are you supposed to be eating now? Post-op diets vary so much. Just follow it. Not sure how you don't know if you're eating the right foods or not...?

If you don't know what you are consuming...write everything down! Remember, we all have food issues and head hunger is the hardest part to over come. Just remember to make the healthiest nutrient rich choices at every step. Also, if you get your Protein in, it helps with the 'hunger' factor. Write everything that goes in your mouth down on a piece of paper and keep track, if that is what you need.

However, 3 weeks out is great, but you should still be in the liquid or mushy phase. There are lots of changes to come. Just keep focused and make smart healthy choices.

One Love.

Foods @ 3 weeks depends on the surgeon. By 3 weeks I was well into "soft foods" -- deli meats, well cooked veggies, etc. :)

If you are not sure what to eat talk to your NUT. He/She is a valuable resource. Also, the golden rule: protein first. You can do this!
