How many calories do you eat a day?

Hi everyone! I'm just curious (doing a little poll)...what week are you at/how many calories are you eating a day/what type of foods are you on. I was just reading somewhere that a surgeon wanted his patients getting 800 calories a day. Oh lord -- as if I could do that! I know every surgeon is different on the foods stuff, but liquid - pureed - or soft foods, calorie wise I am curious if we are all in a similar range. I know that I eat about 500 calories on average (400-550), am on soft foods and am 3 weeks out. Anyone else? Lissa in Washington 386/358/150

I probably get 300 - 400 in food and another 150-200 in liquids (mostly skim milk). Joy

I have been entering what I eat in FitDay and I am averaging about 850 a day and I had surgery 3/18. I have had no problems and Dr. wants me to eat six small meals a day at approx 150 calories and 12 grams of protien each. I am down -21 lbs since surgery. What soft foods are others eating. I am not enjoying pureed meats and I am looking for soft protien foods. I have been having a daily serving of Taco Bell Pinto's & Cheese! soft and protien. Debra 265/244/140

I know I get about 300 with my drinks and another 300 with my foods. Mushy food I eat: low-fat cottage cheese, refried beans with cheese, scalopped potatoes, soups. My doctor told me I could eat anything I could puree with a blender. I have been trying hard to eat mushier things. I have also had egg salad with mayo, turkey salad with mayo. It is all a learning game for me. Wendy Ann
