Day 5 was a total loss. I was not even on plan for a fraction of it but we had a July 4th (or...2nd) cookout to go to. The good news is I drank my water, minimized the damage, got rid of the trail mix, and got right back on board this morning.
In fact, day 6 has been quite remarkable. It's 7pm and so far I've only had 506 calories. I've been busy doing stuff all day and just didn't have a lot of time to eat but these 506 calories have been high quality ones. 55 grams of protein so far. I use myfitnesspal.com to track my food and nutrients and it's kind of weird that they think I only need 45g of protein each day. Who came up with that? My surgeon wants me to have 60 at minimum and I've been getting over 100 and actually feeling really good lately. So myfitness pal is a great little tool but it needs to be able to customize how much of each nutrient I actually want per day.
I'll have to update tomorrow with the actual values I ended up with. I am projecting 956 calories.
