Not getting many calories

[carolynh 13]

I'm 4 days PO and getting down around 250 calories a day. Should I be concerned?

No that's perfectly normal I'm only 4 weeks post op and I get about the same. Just focus on your fluids and I wish you the best.

Nope, not at all. Now my goal today was like 800 and as I suspected I didn't make it.

I'm 5 days post op and it's very hard to get my liquids in...my Husband is concerned that I'm getting dehydrated and I probably am but it hurts to drink in bigger portions...I'm sorta scared that I'm doing something wrong...I know each day will get better as I heal but I honestly didn't know it was going to be this hard

It is very hard I am 8 days post op. I feel like all I do all day is sip sip sip. I have yet to make my goal.

The first week I was working all day just trying to make my Fluid goals and get a little Protein in. Just keep at it, sip sip sip all day. Fluid is most important, Protein is 2nd important, and calories don't really matter for the first couple of weeks according to my surgeon.
