Ok so no matter how hard I try to eat 1000 calories a day I can never make it most the time I can even make it past 500 calories my doctor says when I'm not hungry don't eat. Most mornings when I wake up I'm not hungry at all and I usually don't get hungry about 2 and then I'm hungry all afternoon. Even so I still cannot get 2000 calories a day that I need plus the exercise burns what I do you get. I do you make sure however that I try to get close to the Protein amount that I am supposed to have a date so I come pretty close to that just not the calories. Any suggestions?

Honestly, your surgeon is right. If you're not hungry don't eat. Just make sure what you do eat is healthy for you, like lots of lean Protein and veggies. Be sure to take your Multivitamin daily, too.

As long as you're making healthy food choices and getting in your protein, don't worry if you're under on calories.

I have never been a morning person and it takes me a couple hours before I can eat breakfast. Now I have a cup of hot coffee to flex the ban and then a Greek yogurt with some add ins. Might be an hour or two from when I get up before the yogurt. Breakfast consists of Chobani Greek yogurt with fruit; add in half scoop vanilla whey isolate, benefiber, Splendra to taste mix everything together; then 5-6 cut up walnuts (roasted is best), High Protein kashi go lean Cereal (1-2 protein scoops). Recent studies show people that eat a high protein dairy based breakfast loose more weight then those who eat other types of breakfasts (and people that eat breafast loose more than those who don't).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
