Ok we have moved recently and for the life of me I cannot find all my pre surgery paperwork. I will be 3 months out on July 4th. How many calories am I supposed to be consuming. I am losing weight just fine. I just have stalls every now and then and wondered if this could be why. And are you supposed to count liquid calories and solid calories. Because If I drink 3 protein shakes a day .. that right there is almost 500 calories .

At 3 months I'm supposed to be around 800 calories.  You may want to cut a shake or two out and try to get your protein from food.  I personally can't eat enough to get my protein from food so I drink a shake in the AM but it is only 90 calories.  Liquid calories count towards your calorie count.  A calorie is a calorie no matter how you ingest it.

3 shakes should be around 300 calories unless you are mixing them with milk. 

We were told to not count calories but to track protein and fluid.  By 3 months, you should be getting around 80 g of protein a day and at least 64oz of fluid.  Your shakes count toward your fluid and your protein.

I still do 2 protein drinks a day and try to get over 100g of protein in.  I didn't stall doing that.  4-5 meals a day, 2 oz protein, 2 oz veggie, 2 protein drinks a day will get you where you want to go.

A calorie is a calorie, but you shouldn't be counting them until you are in your maintenance phase.
Right now you have to count your protein and fluid intake.
