Barely reaching 400 calories/day!

[marwa 0]

Hi

I'm 2 weeks post op. I barely drink 1 cup of chicken broth. 1 Jello. 1 yoghurt. 3 cups of unsweetened juice. 1.5 litrs of Water.

Haven't lost a single kg starting day 7. Feeling thirsty with dry mouth.

Is any of this normal? I can't get myself to eat more of yougurt/jello. And where I live there isn't pure Protein liquid to get.

Thanks

Can you not order it online and have it delivered? I found mixing Protein powder with a pint of Water was a good way to get both Protein and fluids in, in the first 2 weeks.

Try ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrate or Isopure if you are on Clear Liquids. Both can be ordered online. I also could get the ProtiDiet through my surgeon's office. I think you can get Isopure at places like GNC.< /p>

Unfortunately can't order it . Our customs in egypt would damage the package and may even open it b4 delivery!

Also

I don't walk at all. Don't know if I can with this few calories I get in

Keep sipping away at the liquids and Protein (yogurt, etc.). If I remember correctly, my mouth was dry early out, too. I wouldn' t worry unless you aren't getting fluids down. Keep working on it. It gets better every day as the swelling goes down.

Also, stay off of the scale. You are still swollen and healing from surgery.

I don't know what resources are available in Egypt, so your surgeon's office would be a great place to start for suggestions about Protein sources. I do know yogurt is a good place to start.

Keep us posted on the n how you are doing.

I don't know if I would say 400 calories a day is horrible since I was on a clear liquid diet for two weeks post op. hang in there I hope you figure out where to get your Protein in.

That's about normal I'm 3 weeks out of surgery and on my second stage well I'm supposed to but I still can't hold down foods so I'm only consuming less than 600 and I'm 3 weeks out of surgery don't get frustrated were all different and it just takes time you'll get their
