2 weeks out..how many calories a day?

Jenn, I'm trying to do the 515 that i'm supposed to do, i'm 22 days post-op, but sometimes I can't. I see the nutritionist tomorrow and we will discuss eating. Sometime around Dec 20 or 21, I'll be adding a few more calories and trying to eat about 853 for 4 months. Every person's diet is a bit different. Some do more and some may do less than mine. Depends on their nutritionist. Lisa J

Lisa... My doc doesn't have you see a nut...now I am beginning to think I may need to find one on my own. I sure want to make sure I am doing this correctly....I got in close to 500 calories today...mostly tuna, cottage and a protein shake...only ate 4 times including protein shake, but that seems to be enough for me... Thanx for the info!!! Jenn

Jenn, I'm not required to see a nut either, but I track how much I eat on www.fitday.com. It's a free site and it's really good! I'm 3 weeks out and I still can't eat more than 3 or 4 oz of anything in one sitting and it takes me about 25 mins to do that, sometimes longer depending on what it is! I also can't eat more than 4 times a day. I've tried squeezing in one more snack and it's just not going to happen! Oscar the Pouch won't allow it! It sounds to me like you are doing fine. Follow the cues that your body is giving you, I think you're doing fine! Hugs, Vi
