10 days out and I can't even get in 500 calories a day?

When will I be able to eat more so I can keep up with all these requirements. Heck, I get full off of my liquid vitamins and sugar free 5 calorie jello!

  • It's normal. Focus on getting 60-80 grams of protein and all your liquids.

  • I second that, completely normal. Cubby said it: focus on liquids and protein right now.

Yep fluid and protein in that order :) add protein powder to you liquids. I didn't start getting 500 calories until I was 6 wks out and able to eat real foods. At my 4 wk ck up I was still only getting maybe 300 on a good day. I got with in 5 grams of my required protein tho! :) It was a chore for sure. Keep tryn it'll happen.

I am 3 months out and some days I still barely get in 600 calories. I make sure that I always get my protein and fluids in each day. I am taking advantage of this time now because I know the further out I get, the more calories I will consume. You are still very early out. It will get easier.

Thanks so much for the support you all. I now know to expect this for a longer period of time. Your advice really puts me at ease.
