Calories per day

Hi! I know we are supposed to focus on our protein and clear liquid intake but I was wondering what an average day looks like for you calorie wise. I am consuming between 500-700 calories a day. I am on the proteins only stage of the surgery.

I've been wondering about this too! I do maybe 500 a day, and usually burn more than that at the gym... I'm only 3 weeks out so still mushy foods, the only real food I "eat" is tuna...everything else is Soup and Protein shakes. My fitnesspal keeps yelling at me about eating more calories, I'm like shut up! haha

I just wonder if I'm eating enough.... I have my 3rd week check up this week and that is on my list of questions.

800-1200 a day.

If you are concerned then talk to your doctor. However, your stomach will eventually heal and you will be able to eat more. In fact, 6 months out and you will probably be anxious about just how much you can eat.
