My surgery was 6 months ago today and I have never gotten past the full fluid stage because of a leak. I feel cheated because I don't even know what kind of restriction I have. I have a feeding tube that supplies me with 1470 cals and 110g protein. My surgeon said that I need this much to help promote healing. I usually take in 300 cals by mouth. So roughly 1770 calories a day.
