3 Weeks Post Op - Calorie Intake?

I wa****ting 600-700 calories as soon as I got out of the hospital because I could drink easily and didn't mind the protein shakes.  The calories actually dropped to 600 or less once I went to drinking only one protein drink a day, and eating the rest of my calories.

I am 10 weeks out, and while I sometimes think I could eat a horse, turns out a "horse" (i.e., my biggest food day) is only about 800 calories.  Thank goodness!  I can't *imagine* eating 1000 calories right now unless I was drinking a lot of them.

If you can get your protein and water in, plus vitamins, I wouldn't be in any hurry to up the calories.
