I was never given a number on calories (just fluids and protein), but it looks like I was averaging 500-600 then

I am 7 weeks out. My NUT wants me at 800 - 1000 calories. I can get in 800 on some days, but 600 is much easier. I try to add some veggies and a serving of fruit after my Protein and that helps a little.

I'm eating 800-1000 at six months out - although I'm usually at the higher end of that range. I think 800 would have been a challenge for me at seven weeks out.

I am ten weeks out and do good to hit 650 calories in a day. And that is with hitting typically 70 grams of Protein a day.

I am 3 weeks out and I feel like I can eat alot . For example today . This morning I had my protien shake , then a while after Greek yogurt , then half a avocado , and then a whole piece if string cheese . Been drinking my Water all day also . I feel like I'm eating to much. Anyone going through this ? Let me add that I also had some tofu and blended Beans . I'm really getting worried that maybe something is wrong or I stretched my pouch.

      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.
