How many calories?

I'm 12 days post op and still on a full liquid diet until 3/19. How many calories should I be taking in? I'm only averaging about 500-700 a day if that...

    Your calories are on target as you are drinking mostly Protein shakes. Some get even less (300-500). The calories will naturally increase the further post op you get as your stomach will allow for more. Right now it is important to focus on Water and protein daily goals rather than calories while you are healing.

    I was at 400-500 then, so you are probably right in the ballpark. Fiddleman is right, calories will increase over time.
