You should get that information from your nutritionist.

My nutrition book has 600-800 calories a day for soft foods (weeks 4-8) and 1000-1200 calories by 12 weeks post-op. Of course all programs vary so you should contact your nutritionist for your specific program.

During the pureed and soft foods stages I am supposed to gt 500-800. After that I am supposed to get 800-1200. I do have a very physical job and work out frequently, so my doctor wants me to be towards the higher end when I return to work. Right now, I am getting about 500-600 per day and burn about 500 at the gym. My blood work all looked good, but my doctor did tell me that I could have more calories since I am burning the same amount as I am eating at the gym each day.
