2 weeks out..how many calories a day?
Sheryl..
This is all so scary..I was getting about 650-700 the last two days and I called my surgeons office today and they said that is too much. I was basically just trying to get in all of my protein..which now that I can eat tuna and eggs it will be a bit easier. I just don't want to mess this thing up...I think we all have that fear, huh?
Thank you for answering!!!

I will be 2 weeks out tomorrow and today I tried to do the B, S, L, S, D, S, like my dietician has suggested.
So, I had/ will have:
B - 1 C. HP Carnation Instant Breakfast 215 cal 22 g pro
S - 1/2 C. protein shake 100 cal 14 g pro
L - 1/2 C. cottage cheese 80 cal 13 g pro
1/4 C. pureed peaches 15 cal .5 g pro
S - 1/4 C. pureed peaches 15 cal .5 g pro
D - 1 C. protein shake 200 cal 28 g pro
S- SF fudsicle 40 cal 1 g pro
TOTAL 665 CAL. 79 g. protein
I will be eating this until I go to soft foods next week. I think I will cut the dinner shake in half every other day, though. So, tomorrow I will have 565 calories and only 65 g of protein (that's my minimum). I am also able to drink 40 oz of water, the other 24 oz I get from my food and drinks.
