Hey all.. I am just wondering how many calories you are all consuming at this point? Jenn

Jenn, At two weeks out I was getting 400-600 calories per day. The nutritionist said I really needed to get it up to 600-800 in weeks 3-5. By week 6, they want us at around 1000 calories/day. The last few days, I've had right around 750 cals. Sheryl

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!!! Jenn

DID THEY TELL YOU WHAT CALORIE COUNT YOU SHOULD BE AT ... AT SO MANY WEEKS OUT, MS JENN? WHAT WAS THEIR REASON FOR 650-700 CALORIES BEING TOO MUCH? WERE YOU STILL LOSING WEIGHT ON THAT AMOUNT OF CALORIES? INTERESTING. GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

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. Marcia 251/235.5/130

I'M ONLY EATING ABOUT 1/4 CUP TWICE A DAY + H-P PUDDINGS & PROTICA SO YOU'RE ABLE TO EAT MORE REAL FOOD THAN I CAN. SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE PROGRESSING WELL, MS JENN. GOD BLESS YOU DAWN & NICK

Ok, I'm curious... how long does it take you to drink a whole cup of a protein shake? I'm lucky if I can get down 3 oz! WOW

I'll be 3 weeks tomorrow and I'm still averaging only 500-600 calories a day. I just can't get anymore in?
