Average calories in the first few weeks?

I'm 11 days post op and up to 600 calories. Is that about right for liquids and puréed? I can do about 1/4 cup of puréed soup or pudding/yogurt. I feel better at 600-700 than I did at 400. Just curious what's normal - if there is such a thing. I'm hitting protein and fluid goals.

I am at 13 days post op. And doing about 400 a day plus between 60 and 70 protien. I am not supposed to be on pureed foods yet. If I was I am sure I would be at between 600-800 a day. I would say 600 is normal if you are doing pureed already.

600 - 800 is the range my doc set for me, but it was weeks before I was able to get in that many calories. Everything cause stomach distress. I thought my sleeve was trying to grind up rocks with every bite! :-P

Mine did not like pintos and cheese. I think it was too high in fat. I'm gonna try homemade next time. I ate 2 T of hummus tonight and it was heavenly. If anyone had told me I'd eat hummus without crackers/bread Ida told them they were nuts. But just to taste something not sweet and not soup was heavenly! Not much protein but oh well.
