calories

Wondering how many calories I'm supposed to be getting a day? Just had surgery on 2/5. Only taking in 300-400 right now.

      I think at this point you just need to worry about getting in water and protein. I didn't count calories until soft foods and I think I was only getting about 400 calories at that time.

    Sounds about right if you just had surgery :)

    I'm several months out and I take in anywhere from 500 to 700 a day.

    Just make sure your calories are mostly from protein
