How many calories a day are you averaging?

I've been tracking with fit day since pre-op, and find with all this liquid (I'm on full fluids now), I'm getting about 500-600 calories a day total, it takes me foreverrrrrr to sip sip sip. Curious what everyone else is getting...

thats about what im getting in a day also but my loosing has stalled. I know I know.. this is a time for healing but dang.. when seeing the scales go down 16 pounds since surgery.. I want to keep it going. Plus I'm not eating alot more than I was.. only soup has been added.

Thats about what I was taking in in the first couple weeks. Ensure and water..... Im in the soft foods stage now and taking 900-1100 per day.

I agree with the previous writers...first 3 weeks ate 400 - 700 cals a day. Lost 16 or so pounds post op, and then the scale stuck all last week - despite only taking in 600-800 calories and increasing exercise by walking x 30 mins a day and generally being more active around the yard/house. No weight loss.

This weekend I finally started feeling hungry again, and have eaten more calories - 1400 Sat and 1100 today. I've heard that maybe too FEW calories may be the problem (body goes into starvation mode, decreases metabolism)...so I ate more. We'll see. Scheduled for fill this week so hopefully that will help with not eating too much/feeling hungry.

I don't really know how many calories I should be eating at this point...
