I'm 14 weeks out, and my goal is 900 calories a day. I hardly ever reach 900, if I'm eating the right things. My surgeon told me to stay under 40 grams of carbs per day, and get at least 65 grams of Protein. Here's what my usual day looks like:

Breakfast:Premier Protein Shake 30g

Snack: Edamame 1/2 cup-8g

Lunch: Fit/Light 2x protein Greek Yogurt-12g

Snack: 1 large boiled egg w/ 1/2 the yolk-7g

Dinner: Beans or meat, & a veggie-10-20g

Water: 3 bottles (not enough, but I try)

I find that I don't have lulls in energy if I eat every 3-4 hours. I mess up at least once a week, but I get right back on. ;-)

I do at least 70 grams Protein, no more than 600 calories per day. Today.... - Ot

Breakfast - 1/2 Turkey Burger Patty (17.5 grams protein, 100 calories)

lunch - Other 1/2 Turkey Burger Patty (17.5 grams protein, 100 calories)

dinner - Premier Nutrition Protein Shake (30 grams protein, 160 cals)

snack after Gym - String cheese (6 grams protein, 80 cals)

So........71 grams protein, 440 calories

I vary things a bit from day to day but I eat a LOT of those turkey burger patties because of the protein count!

I was sleeved 9/11 so 3 months and 2 days post-op.

It is healing, the inflammation of the surgery has gone down. it hasn't stretched or anything. You will be able to eat more. At 4-5 months I was TRYING to eat 600-700 calories. Only good advise for head hunger is fight through. Just make every meal count.

      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.
