Reasonable caloric intake one-week post-op?

anonmom!! You're a beast:-). I am 7 days out and don't have the energy to sweep a floor much less workout. My dr has me on full liquids so the only chewing I get to do is my Vitamin chews (yum). I am up to 1.5 Protein shakes a day and maybe 20 Olof Water. Can't get more down than that. That's about 300 calories.

I too enjoy munching on my Vitamin. Have you tried sugar free popcicles? That helps me with the craving to chew on something. 10 more days then I get to try soft foods.
