Does anyone know how many calories we are supposed to have on the liquid phase? And Mushy Phase? I havn't really had much of an appetite and I read somewhere that if you get too few calories you go into starvation mode and don't lose weight. I just realized I have only been getting about 400-500 calories a day on the liquid diet, i'm trying now to get up to at least 800 calories. I have 4 more days on the liquid diet and then I go to mushies. Can anyone give me some advice on what you eat daily to get your calories when you have no appetite? I do make sure I get my Protein in.

Thanks!

my daughter did it 1 yr ago and her main goal was the protein drinks and fluids for the first month. then she added calories as her stomach calmed down.

Hi Amon... I'm headed for surgery on Aug 20th and am having trouble finding "clear" protien drinks of any kind where I live. What are you using? I understand getting the protien in is vital as is making sure you have enough calories... I'm super excited and want to make sure I have everything I need at hand for when we get back from Mexico and the surgery.

Thanks so much!

HI Sask, the only clear protein drink I know of is Isopure protein water. They have lots of flavors like grape, pineapple orange banana, fruit punch and others. It has 40 grams of protein per bottle. I tried it but realized it had whey protein which I can't have, It did have somewhat of an aftertaste so I would buy one bottle and try it to see if you like first. I found it at GNC. Good Luck!

My first week of clear liquids i was only allowed 59 Calories a day

My 2nd week of Full liquids i am allowed 350 Calories a day

Thanks Amon!!! I am definitely going to pop into one of our GNC stores and see if I can find that - thank you!! :tt2:

My... only 59 the first week and under 400 the 2nd - I'd be afraid of starvation mode! How much are they taking you up to after that?? Are you feeling ok?? That worries me! SOoooo low!!
