How many calories should you take in throughout the soft foods phase? And when you get to the normal foods phase?

You should get that information from your nutritionist.

My nutrition book has 600-800 calories a day for soft foods (weeks 4-8) and 1000-1200 calories by 12 weeks post-op. Of course all programs vary so you should contact your nutritionist for your specific program.

During the pureed and soft foods stages I am supposed to gt 500-800. After that I am supposed to get 800-1200. I do have a very physical job and work out frequently, so my doctor wants me to be towards the higher end when I return to work. Right now, I am getting about 500-600 per day and burn about 500 at the gym. My blood work all looked good, but my doctor did tell me that I could have more calories since I am burning the same amount as I am eating at the gym each day.

Thank you all!
