Enough Calories??

[jcb123 115]

I am 4 days post off and naturally on full liquids however I’m getting less than 200 calories per day. That includes broth, one Protein Shake and sugar free Jello. That just sounds like such a low amount of calories am I doing this right?

I think that's the idea. You'll lose a lot to start. Your body will burn fat to make up the difference. Eventually when you can eat solid foods you'll be where you're supposed to on regards to calories.

Be prepared to be REALLY tired for a few months.

I had surgery on the 9th and I am still getting under 500 calories daily that includes my Protein and my 3 "meals" I mean not a lot of calories in an ounce of chicken. I am drinking 3 Protein Drinks a day 100 calories each (its muscle milk I know they are not that great for you but they haven't made me sick so we are sticking with them for now) and 60g of protein then I have 1 ounce of blended chicken, 1 ounce of blended tuna, and 1 ounce of chicken again the three of those add up to a little over a hundred calories and then I have a tbls of light mayo between the 3 "meals" and that's it.
