Hi. I don't think the calories matter as much as getting enough Protein and enough fluids. My doctor stated that he wanted to be on a 1000 cal per day diet for at least three weeks after surgery. Hope this helps !

The first couple of months on soft food, I was between 450 calories to 600 calories - max. I'm now 4 months out and I'm between 650 calories to 800 calories a day. That's per my doctor and nutritionist guidelines.

Omg 1000 calories! I'm not even close! I do get all my Protein and liquids in, but I've only been consuming like 400 calories a day that's probably why I'm so exhausted. Thank u for replying

I'm the weeks out and in only getting between 300-400 calories a day also. Getting all my Protein and liquid in. I lost 10 lbs the first week and unfortunately nothing since. Hopefully things well pick up again soon. Getting a little frustrated seeing people dropping weight like crazy and I'm stuck already.

That was my fear going into this as for the last year and a half I was only eating one small meal a day. I'm so afraid this isn't going to work. I'm trying to stay positive and hoping the scale starts moving and I haven't done all of this for nothing.

I am the same. I get in about 350-420 calories per day and that is with sipping all day between Protein and liquids. I still am only hitting around 50 Fluid ounces and 45-50 grams of Protein. Trying to get more in every day. I have only lost 8 pounds since surgery almost 2 weeks ago.

I'm on soft foods now, and yesterday I got something like 465 calories in, but today looks like it is going to be more like 600ish, as I'm at 419 after lunch.

I am trying to focus more on my Protein and liquids, though.

When I told my NUT that I'm walking an hour a day he said I should try to get 800 calories per day and to never go below 500 calories. I'm four weeks.

I follow my plan and it's between 600 and 800 calories per day, depending on how much fat I consume. For the first few weeks it was much less. You are tried because you are recovering from major surgery. Try adding an extra shake to see if your energy level increases. And try to get rest between periods of activity.

If you are staying on your plan you are losing FAT. If the scale s less stresses you out consider not weighing yourself.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
