Question:
How many calories should I be eating at 16 days out?

I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure out what I should be eating. I'm getting somewhere between 400-500 calories a day. This includes 2 Atkins shakes a day. Any suggestions?    — Sandy H. (posted on October 9, 2003)

I would think that's about right but why don't you ask your surgeon. At 16 days, I wasn't doing protein supplements and I doubt I was getting that many calories. At 10 weeks, my surgeon told me I had to up it to at least 1000 a day - I was barely getting 500 at that time. It was difficult but I did and that was without protein drinks.
