Pre-op 6 month diet -HUNGRY!

Ok, I an on week 2 of the 6 month diet pre-op (ins req) and am having a protein shake in the am, one at lunch, snack at about 3:30 of either a protein bar, light string cheese, light baby bell cheese, etch. Then healthy dinner of 4 - 6 oz lean chicken, steamed veggies ( no butter, no salt). Then by 9pm I am starving and I am pretty sure it is not my head hunger or bored hunger. Am I not eating enough?? Calorie intake for the day is ~ 1500 or so? I don't go to see the NUT until April 11th. Any suggestions??
Thanks!

I have the same problem, and it is head hunger for me. I must give myself a treat at night or my great all day diet blows to smithereens. I like something sweet, so i make sure I have something that will satisfy that urge which is low cal.  It is a mind game I play with myself. I love grapefruit, so I peel a grapefruit and have that. Sometimes I need 2. It takes some time to peel the grapefruit and take all the outer white bitter stuff off the fruit to eat it. By the time I do all that and eat it I am satisfied. It is 100% mental. I also chew SF gum sometimes if the I am out and about and the carb monster rears its ugly head......just be prepared. If Being prepared is the number one thing to do to stay in this game. 

Good luck on your journey!
