11 Day Post Op Question

[NewAdventure2016 131]

I am 11 days out and doing well - maybe too well?! I'm averaging around 500-600 calories a day made up of 2 Protein shakes, sf chocolate pudding, chicken noodle Soup strained, grits and Triple Zero Oikos. Is this too many calories too soon? I'm down 15 pounds but it seems to be slowing down some (which is fine), I just want to be sure I'm not over-doing it. Is this about what most of you experienced?

Be sure you are meeting Protein and fluid goals and sticking to allowed foods and you should be good! My NUT said not to count calories at this stage. Congrats on your loss!

I'm getting at least 60 Protein and pretty sure my Fluid is good as well, just sip all day long! Thanks for the quick response!

You're right in the target zone according to my surgeon's suggested caloric intake (450-600). :-)

I'm 18 days post op and averaging 700-900 calories a day, which really surprises me. I'm down 19 pounds total, 10 of those since my surgery.

Same here .... Roughly same weight loss before and after surgery.
