At 3 weeks out I was barely getting in 200 calories/day. It has only been the last 10 days or so that I have been able to slowly build my calorie intake to the 650ish range. Yesterday I got in about 860 cals, and Sunday I got in 890. It is sooooo hard to do, but I started drinking my protein drinks again, which helps a lot. I couldn't before, because they made me gag so bad. I can swallow a mouthful of water/fluids at once now instead of tiny baby sips so I can drink them faster without having to taste them so much.

In maintenance... now I'm yo-yoing up and down 10 lbs or so. I'm trying to find out how to stay at a set weight, it's rough.
