Okay, I only had surgery (sleeve) done 17 days ago, so I'm currently in the soft food phase. The past few days I've been wondering if I'm actually eating too much for this early stage. I've been hitting my Fluid and Protein goals most days this week, and I'm getting my protein from shakes, eggs, cheese, tuna, salmon, Greek yogurt, and hummus. I feel great - plenty of energy and am healing well.

But, I'm already eating between 800 and 1000 calories a day. Is that a crazy huge amount for only 17 days after surgery? If so, how do I still meet my protein goals while consuming fewer calories?

I was able to do the same. I don't think 800-1000 is too many calories at all. It's quite healthy in fact. You are healing well Cheers!

I don't even pay attention now I'm worried. I don't eat a lot of anything 3 meals a day and if I eat a Jello it is a meal my stomach can't eat more. What is the Protein goal? I am getting a shake down if I eat it for Breakfast lunch and I drink the rest with dinner with my Soup. The shake is 30 grams is that good?
