I get between 600-800 per day, but I am still reliant on shakes for my Protein because I cant eat that much.

My program said I should be getting 500-800 calories on phase III which was week 3. That's the only time I have heard or read anything about calorie intake from my program. I just focus on Water and Protein like they keep stressing and I eat what I can comfortably. There was one day in week 5 where I hit 745 calories but there was also one day I only hit 317 calories. I track my calories but don't worry about them that much.

I average about 500 calories as well but I wanted to see where that was compared to others. I was never given anything about this either from the surgeon

About 600 cams and we between 600-800 until end of month 5 when I started some serious gym work, and upped to 1200....been there ever since, but follow your own NUT guidelines, as every single surgeon/ clinic has differing recommendations!

      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.
