3 meals usually but if I'm out and busy or drinking a lot of fluids I sometimes have only two just because I don't feel as much hunger

About 3 ounces per meal and I was told to increase my meals to 4 per day as my calories are too low according to my NUT. I need at least 800 at this point and I'm 5 weeks out.

3 meals and 3 Snacks. My snacks are all after dinner and before I go to bed though. I've always had that problem...snacking at night. I still snack, but I've replaced them with:

Popsicle

sugar free Jello with light whipped cream

apple slices or an orange

40 calorie beef Jerky

Russell Stover Sugar Free Chocolate

handful of almonds

      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.
