I'm wondering about how many calories we are suppose to be eating a day now? I'm only two weeks PO and still on full liquids but I still FEEL like I'm "eating" too much! (Can't find it in my papers) Thanks!

Must be why I can't find it, i never had it! I just feel like I'm eating too much. Scares me. I had a carnation instant brkfst, a muscle milk protein drink, some broccoli/chz soup, an avacado/spinach smoothie, and a tiny bit of ice cream today. Doesn't that seem like a lot of food!?

Hey Lisa! Congrats. I'm less than 2 wks and I'm amazed at the difference b/w where you are and where I am... so just a little longer! I felt MISERABLE for a few days but it's SO much better now. I am only on full liquids but just to eat cream soups and Smoothies and stuff is so much better. I think the chicken broth is what got me through the clear liquids. Just hang in there. Another week (less than that) and you'll feel so much better. Just drink water and rest for now. Good Luck.

I'll be doing the pureed stage soon and I am interested in what everybody blended up at this point. Recipes are welcome!!!

LOL. Well that makes sense! I didn't even bother to look there! Thanks!

Having a bad night. Been crying and don't know if ive messed up my life. Still so sore after 4 days. I haven't taken my anxiety meds in 5 days (til tonight). I just want to sleep and cry. I know (I hope) it'll pass but I feel like I want to wake up and this'll all be over Anybody feel the same at first?

Oh yay! Love avocados!!!!

You should be fine. I only have a 5 yr old and he still had me up and getting stuff for him! You wont do anything but sleep.....and walking a little. Just take it easy!

I hate that!! My scale is the same. It looks one #, which is bad enough,but then the docs office is higher!! Ugh...sorry for you. Feel free to vent whenever!

Clear the first wk and full the second.

I have liquids for two weeks! Well that sucks! LOL. Can't wait for FOOD!

I'm honestly not sure but the one I was looking at was 20g. Yeah. Too high. Oh well

Is fat free sherbet considered a clear liquid? (It melts clear but there's sugar)

I have heard of others throwing up. Seems to be pretty common, I think. That's awful though. And that gas pain in your chest....ALL THE TIME!!! I have that like all day! It's horrible. Couple more weeks girls; we'll be okay!

I would love yogurt! But, my doc said the liquids have to be clear the first week. I can start yogurt and pudding in a few days though...I hope!

I was told a clear liquid is when, like a popsicle, it is a clear consistency at room temp....as is sherbet My bad...

Yeah...I figured about two weeks. makes me sad. BTW, at a month out, how are you feeling? Physically?

That sounds good!! You're doing purees?
