I have a question, Iam three weeks post op and my calories range between 800-900 and that works well for me but

Iam constantly watching you tube videos of other Gastric SLeeve patients and they all say 400-600 calories. Im concerned that Im over

doing it even thou I feel good and no bad effects from it. Im in the mushy and soft phase but all the calories come from foods I allowed to have.

Can anyone tell me if this is to much ?? and what there calories intake was or is ? Please

I can only get about 400 calories in. I wish I could get more. I'm getting 60-70 grams of protein(shakes) but can only eat 1/4 cup-1/2 of food at a time.

Not being able to eat at times is frustrating because I know I need calories. I have felt over stuffed and I don't want that feeling again, so I stop when I feel that little pain.

This is my biggest struggle

I'm 3 1/2 weeks out, and my nutritionist said the first few months normal intake will range from 500-800 calories. As long as you're following your doctor's guidelines, getting your protein, seems like you're doing good to me!
