Just wondering...because my dh made some yummy chicken...but I couldn't even eat 1/4 of a breast.  I am barely getting calories in...though I do drink at least one Isopure per day (which is 160 cal and 40 g protein).

I go back and forth with my appetite and pouch capacity.  Sometimes I can eat a TON (by a ton I mean 1/2-3/4 of a chicken breast. Then today I was only able to eat 1.5 oz of tuna and one beef stick and I haven't been hungry all day! I think it also depends on what you're eating. If I'm in a "bad" time and eating carbs I can eat a bunch more. Put some crackers in front of me and I can devour 1/2 a sleeve of Ritz crackers AND cheese! And still be hungry a couple of hours later. But lately I've been eating mainly only protein and I can't eat as much. I wouldn't worry about how many calories you're getting in this early post-op. Just make sure you're drinking plenty of water and getting as much protein in as you can. You're doing great girlie!

Annie, Call your Dr. and ask how much protein per day you should be gettin in, I do 4 protein drinks a day! It is real important to get the protein in. Merrilou
