I'm just curious, I'm on my pre-operation liquid protein diet, with 1 small high protein meal. I was wondering how many calories you consume in a day. I have been averaging about 600 to 750 calories a day. Is this average, low or high?

That is around where I was for the pre-op phase. Now almost 9 months out, I come in around 1000-1200 calories per day. Except when I was too tight for a couple of weeks. Then I had a hard time getting anything down.

Best wishes,

Denise

I have less than 1000 per day, currently in my pre-op phase too.

I was wondering if I needed to increase my calories, I've only lost about 5 lbs since I started on protein drinks a week ago today.

Anywhere from 600 to 800. Pre-op.

On pre-op, I was averaging about 650-790 calories a day. Post-op, I'm averaging between 1000-1100. So, you're within normal ranges, I think.
