800-1000 calories

hahahaha...my doctor didn't clear or anything because I developed asthmatic bronchitis, then acute bronchitis and pleuritic inflammation on right lung right after the surgery, I was pretty much in and out of ER until last week, the worst pain ever on my lungs and still feel a lot of pain even though the bronchitis went away I am still dealing with little inflammation on that right side. I'll call my doctor just to double check but I think I should be ok lol. Thanks

thank you so much....very detailed I need that

OK my stall has been two weeks now. I tried and increased my calorie intake and that still has not worked. Feeling I made the wrong decision with this surgery. Has anyone else have a stall for this long?
