I am 3.5 years post op, so my daily routine has varied a lot, depending on where I was in my post-op eating progression, whether trying to lose or maintain weight, etc. Where are you in this timeline? What are your goals? We might be able to give more helpful information with a little more background.

Sometimes it's the anxiety making you believe you're hungry. Do you drink enough Water? That helps too

At three weeks out, I was only on soft foods. My routine looked something like this:

Breakfast: Protein shake

Morning snack: string cheese

Lunch: Protein Shake

Afternoon snack: Greek yogurt

Dinner: Shelly's Baked Ricotta (recipe here)

I was sleeved on 12/21 and my schedule now is like this:

Morning - 2 scarmbled eggs with 1 oz of shredded cheese

One Premier Protein (11 oz) on the way to work

16 oz of Water at work, sip until lunch

lunch - Last several days it's been Shelly's Ricotta Bake as described above

16 oz Diet Snapple

16 oz Water, sip until I get home

dinner - Various, either chicken salad, refried Beans, tuna, egg salad, turkey salad

1 or 2 sugar-free popsicles, or maybe a Yoplait light yogurt (6 oz - Boston Cream Pie!)

16 oz water

That puts me at just about 900 or so calories a day and I never feel hungry and it satisfies my liquid and Protein requirements.

When I was roughly at your phase I was eating 3 meals per day of under 3 oz (85 grams, or roughly 175 ml) each. All of those meals had to be high protein: meat, dairy, eggs, or tofu with a little bit of soft green veggies.

In between meals if I got hungry, I had a low calorie Protein Shake. An alternative to that is to have a small amount of diced chicken breast.

I hope you are working with your surgeon and a nutritionist, they will help you with this a lot more. You might want to check and see if your constant hunger is really acid. Something like 80% of us get bad acid reflux for the first year or so. You should probably be on some sort of meds for that. Hunger that frequent post surgery doesn't seem normal.

      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.
