How many calories are you getting in?

I'm about four days out and on liquids this week.  I can have protein shakes, broth, water, etc.  I'm only getting in about 200 calories a day and not sure that's enough.  Anyone else on liquids?  How many calories are you getting in?

Also, a 'delicate' subject - bowel movements.  Any little bit I've had has been pretty loose.  Anyone else?

I wish I could help you but I am on pureed foods.  I dont know how many calories I am takning in.  I can only eat 2 oz of food 4 to 5 times a day.  Plus 4 oz of protein drinks 4 times a day.

As far as the BM it was awful I was very constipated.  I had to take liquid colace and MOM.  Finally went.

 As far as BMs I am almost 1m out and mine are still VERY loose!  I am assured that it is not very uncommon.  
Calorie wise, I really should start counting.  I have the misfortune of not feeling full, so I have to watch how much I eat VERY carefully!!  I really have to talk to my nutritionist.  I am calling her tomorrow to see what is up.  I have been trying to limit what I eat to 1/4c, but I can eat a whole 6oz cup of yogurt and still feel not full.  SO there has to be a problem.  Oh, I am about 3 1/2 wks out.  and at the end of the pureed phase.

Katy - I journal everything that goes in my mouth on fitday.com.  It's free and you can also track your weight and exercise.  There's also a place to journal and write down how you are feeling, etc.  I find it invaluable.  When you put what you eat in, it breaks down fat, carbs and protein.  I don't know where I'd be without it!  Give it a try.
