How many calories at 1 week post-op?

Today is the first day I have started writing down calories.  By dinner time I will be a little shy of 400 calories.  Protein is 36 grams prior to dinner.

What was typical for you at this stage?

That sounds right on with where I was the first few weeks.  I'd suggest adding protein powder to your drinks, yogurt, puddings, jello, etc. to get the protein up a bit, as it is important for your healing.

It sounds like you are doing well.

Your calories seem fine, but to me your protein is way, way too low. My plan called for a minimum of 60 immediately post op, and by two weeks 80-100 grams per day. Yes, I had to use shakes to do it, but by getting in all the protein immediately post op, I healed quickly and maybe only coincidentally, had no hair loss, but I like to attribute losing no hair to my high protein pre op and post op diets.

Thank you!  I just want to clarify that these are calories/protein prior to dinner, not for the whole day.    I think I will probably try a Greek yogurt in a protein shake - that will give me another 33 grams.

I had about 400-600 calories per day the first several weeks.  Now I'm 3 months out and getting usually 500-700.  Make sure you protein and water are priority.  Track everything.  Good luck on your journey!!!  

My Physician and NUT wanted me only focusing on protein and carbs. Until this day I still don't count calories just those two things! Good luck to you.

Thank you!  I'm on track to get 65+ grams of protein today which is an improvement!

At a week post-op, I was eating between 600-800 calories, though also told not to track and just focus on 60+ grams of protein a day.
