How to get enough calories?

[faithlove 25]

For those on soft foods...please tell me how do you get to your caloric goal? I can get to my Protein goal with no problem but end up with an average of 450 which is not good because now that I have my energy back I'm very active running behind a hyper 2 yr old. TIA

When I was on soft foods, I would eat:

4oz of weight control oatmeal for Breakfast (100 cals/5g protein)

1 Premier Protein shake for morning snack (160 cals/30g protein)

2 1/2 oz. of tuna with 1 1/2 ounces of peas for lunch (90 cals/15g protein)

3 oz. cottage cheese with 1 oz. unsweetened peaches in juice for afternoon snack (100 cals/12g protein)

3 ounces of flaked salmon with 1 oz. spinach for dinner (185 cals/18g protein)

Total - 635 calories/80g Protein

If I was hungry after that, I would have another Premier Protein Shake for snack to bring totals up to 795 cals/110g protein.

I still kind've eat like that now. I try to get in 850-950 calories per day though. I can eat a bit more than that now, so it helps.

tuna and salmon on soft food?

I did 1 week Clear Liquids, 1 week full liquids, 2 weeks puréed foods. In my 5th week, I was allowed both, but had to be moist. As you know undoubtedly, all plans are pretty different. So....yes in short. Flaky fish qualifies as soft food in my plan.

My surgeon okayd me for normal food on week 5 even though the traditional plan is soft till week 6 so your right all plans vary

I was allowed mashed up with a fork tuna and salmon and chicken on soft food. and then pureed tuna salmon and chicken when on puree.
