Almost 2 Weeks post surgery -- How many calories?

Did anybody's nutritionist or doc give them an idea of many calories they should be taking in during the different stages?

The first week while on Clear liquids I had no appetite but now during week two ( full liquids) I do feel hungry. Should I feel hungry at this point? Also,

I see posts that say they are only able to slowly sip liquids....I can almost drink normally (but not guzzling/gulping). This concerns me... do you think there is not enough restriction? I'm worried my doc left too much of my stomach!!

Many posters have said that heartburn can be confused with hunger but I am on Prilosec so I don't think that's it....

Even gas can feel like hunger.

As for calories I was getting only around 700 at 4 weeks out. However someone suggested I eat every three hours to keep metabolism moving. If I eat all I have logged in my fitness pal that will be 904 calories. I say if because some times I can't finish the meal I plan. Now at lunch I am trying to eat a hormel complete. I don't think I will eat it all and that is repeated at other meals so maybe 800 calories is more what I am eatting.

As for liquid I have seen a lot of folks worry about not being restricted enough during liquids. That will change as you progress to regular food.
