About how many Calories do you cusome day when on soft foods?

When I was on the soft food stage, I could eat about 500-600 very slowly. This included protein shakes. It's hard to get your protein in, so make sure you still have protein shakes or powder in your diet. Good luck!

45 seems low. My surgeon said 65g/day, but even that was low compared to most of the people on this site. I shoot for about 80/day. I am three months post sleeve

When I was on soft food my daily targets were: under 800 calories, max 60 carbs, minimum 75 grams protein.

45 grams does seem super low. I was told to push my way up to 100 grams as soon as I was able. I would say I got about 450-550 calories a day in my soft food stage. Pushed hard to get it up over 800 as early as possible.

My plan work my way up to 65grm after 4th week out. First week was just liquids 2nd week was full liquids 3rd week and 4th week soft foods with goal 45gr protein .after 4th week I can start introducing food and need to reach 65gr of protein

And it is hard cause they only want you to eat 3 times a day with no snacking so 45gr is hard to reach for me cause I only can do about 1/4 food or 1/2 cup of Protein shake

My Program recommends protein shakes to get the recommended protein rather than getting them with food at this stage. They also recommend eating 5-6 times (3 hrs in between) and not to concentrate on calories.. All plans are different so call your Nutritionist and see what they recommend.
