[shayv123 96]

I put my intake in myfitnesspal and I noticed that as of this evening I havent has 200 calories yet......is this what you all are experiencing?

That could certainly be the case.

I'm 13 days out too. I probably get 300-400 calories now that I am on full liquids. I noticed that my weight has stalled since I've been eating Soups, which is freaking me out. I was losing 2 pounds a day (week 1), then 1 pound a day and now I've lost and gained the same 1 pound for the last 3 days.

How is your progress?

I need a scale, mine gives a different number from minute to minute. I was down 25 total when i took my drain out friday.

I just logged my food in MFP. It was less than I thought. 194 calories and I burn 200 walking.

I'm 5 days out. My Breakfast Protein shake is 160 calories.

2 chopped eggs 155 calories

3 oz of salmon 90 calories

3 oz non-fat plain greek yogurt 53 calories

That's 458 calories according to MFP. Interesting that mine is so much more. I realize my doctor is more aggressive when it comes to eating mushy food earlier than others. I was only on liquids for the day of the operation. I'm not even looking at the scale until I see him 2 weeks out so we'll see how this works.

I just logged mine and im at. 68......not good

IsB none of what your eating hurts going down? You can never go wrong with all the protien and your calorie intake is still very low. Im sure you will do well.

Wow...I get a little over 600 calories a day...That's 330 in Protein Shakes, V8 juice, tuna, Soup, and Multivitamin and calcium chews. I have never had a problem getting anything down. I do feel restriction and I can only sip, but I stick to a really handy daily schedule that my doc gave me to ensure that I get everything in. Compared to some of you, I kind of feel like a pig...lol

The low calories may be causing ur weight to stall. I was stalled at 247 for 2 weeks (I am 5 weeks post op). I was getting 400-500 cals a day, I upped it to 600 calories now and make sure I get my 8 glasses of Water a day and all my Vitamins and I finally got to 245 after 2 whole weeks!

[smithpy 117]

I spoke with my hubby, who had about a year ago. He said that the stall is normal, but to be sure that I get in my walking, Protein and Water. Today I walked 1.5 miles. I also went to Sprouts grocery store and bought unflavored Protein to add in my Soup. Just these little changes and I am down 1 pound, so I am going to try to stick with it and see where it goes.

My husband uses a Protein powder with 35 grams of protein in 1 scoup. It's called Nu-tek 5. He loves the chocolate flavor but I cannot stand it. http://nuteknutrition.com/ May have to try it though if I can get all that I need for the day with just two scoops.

Best of luck everyone.

Would you mind sharing that schedule? I would be interested in seeing it. I've increased my calories since I started soft foods. I'm at about 800 calories & I gained a pound...I'm wondering if this is too high then.
