This is hard (duh).

Muscle spasms around the big incision still, at week three. Every real food I try makes my tummy hurt for at least 10 mins. I'm getting half the calories my doc wants me to, but I can't seem to get any more.

Just needed to vent... I hope this gets easier soon. Blah.

I had spasms, too. They suck.

It does pass, however. In fact, I'd forgotten about them until you posted this.

Sounds like you're having a rough time. I hope you feel better soon.

I'm sorry you're having a tough time! I didn't have a calorie goal but it took several weeks to work up to the protein and liquid goals; at a month out I was getting the liquid goals but it took a bit longer for protein. Good luck, it does get more routine!

I never had a calorie goal, just a protein goal and a water goal.
