Been absolutely STARVING lately. 3 months out, have my shake around 8 and I'm dying right now. Had a few jelly Beans, now having a banana. Already drank a ton of Water. Will have lunch around 1- 1:30 where I'm sure I'm eating too much. Then din din tonight. Doing between 700-1000 calories while 2 weeks ago I couldn't get past 600. Feels like I'm doing everything wrong and nutritionist is no help. Getting very frustrated and feel like giving up

Giving up is out of the question! Try adjusting your Protein to get more in, or up your exercise to compensate.

But you need to keep your head up!

I just don't get why I'm hungry I thought that was the point of the surgery. Plus I never know when I'm full. Just feels like a waste

It sounds like you are experiencing head hunger. I get that a lot when someone around me is eating or I'm seeing food on tv or Facebook. I remind myself that I just ate a hour ago and I am fine. As of feeling full....some people don't and that's why it's very important to measure your food. I still do at 5 months out. I don't have to but I feel better in my mind that I did and I wasn't guessing. I carry Protein bars with me all the time and a packet of shake mix. At least that's something healthy and is what you need.

      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.
