I don't know how far out you are, but try eating more. You need a couple of Snacks in there( high Protein or fruit).

my lap band doctor told me that I MUST eat a MINIMUM of 60 grams of Protein each day, NO exceptions.
There is a rather new product on the market that I LOVE. One bottle has 15 grams of Protein. I try to drink two or three per day. They sell them at SOME local Wal-Marts or Krogers stores. However, I live in a VERY small community, so I order mine off Amazon. Add a Protein Bar and something like cottage cheese to help reach the 60+ protein goal each day.

Good Luck on your journey

No one should be eating 800 calls a day unless under doctor supervision. Aim for 1200. Did you know that not eating enough actually slows your metabolism? I got my metabolism tested (easy,) and it's lower than normal. I, too, was eating too little. I increased it, focus on Protein Snacks, cheese, cottage cheese, Protein Bars, etc. are you exercising? 800 is way too low, IMO.

      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.
