Issues getting in calories

So, I am 6 months out and down 105 pounds.  I love how far I have come and why my RNY has done for me, but I am finding things to be really hard right now.  I lose like 1-2 pounds a week.  FAR slower then it used to be, but I realize thats going to happen.  Heres my problem--my nut wants me getting in a minimum of 1200 calories a day.  I am finding that just about impossible!  I don't usually get hungry and when I do a pretty small amount of food makes me full again.  My restriction is pretty good still.  Yes, I am eating more than I was months ago, but still a pretty small portion usually.  Anyhow...I'm having a hard time getting in my 1200 calories and I know this is hurting me with the weightloss.  I am only 36 pounds from my goal and want to get there SO badly!  How do you guys get in all your needed calories?  Protein isn't an issue for me usually, its just the calorie count.  Without the hunger feeling on most days, its really difficult to eat 4-5 small meals like I know I probably should.  Any suggestions would be great!  Thanks!!

I feel like I am eating all day every day to get in my ballpark range of calories. It drives me nuts. In order to get everything in and up my calories, I tried a few things:

1. Don't opt for light, fat free, etc. Go with the full on stuff. More calories, and most likely, more yummy. I'm not saying go nuts, but sneak the cals in.
2. Snack. I didn't snack early on, and only ate 3-4 small meals a day. Which was fine. Now, I need the extra calories, so I've had to incorporate snacks. Cheese and crackers, here I come.
3. Milk. I'm a huge milk drinker now. It's got extra calories, but the good kind!!

It sucks to "force" yourself to eat. I've been doing it for the past month or so, and I feel your pain. I'm hoping this gets easier to do the farther out we get!!!


Good Luck!!!

 I find that I don't do too bad with my calorie counts during the day.  Some days I don't quite make it and that's ok because I know it evens out in the long run.  Try dense calorie foods like nut butters or cheese sticks.  

I like to make iced coffees since it summer.  1 cup of skim mil**** decaf, and some sf Torani syrup.  Yum-O.  You'll get about 90 calories or so from the milk plus protein so it's not a bad snack.

I eat 1400-1800 calories a day... basically I am eating all day long. I eat 6-7 times a day sometimes more. I eat something pretty much every two hours. If you google 1200 calorie diets that should get you started... I found one on Womens Day magazine website a while ago that was a good base and very WLS friendly (basically followed our guidelines with lots of protein whole grains etc).
Keep in mind the density of food will effect how much you can eat... snacks like yogurt, cottage cheese etc (anything liquidy/mushy) should allow you to eat a little more and get some calories in. Nuts are a good choice too... you may need to look into adding a protein bar (maybe eat 1/2 then 1/2) to boost up the calories some.
I was upped to 1400-1800 calories when I hit my goal weight... it took me a good 3-4 months to get my eating figured out and get the eating down.. its a lot of work but keep at it and you will get there!

I'm pre-op... but have you tried adding fruit and stuff like that to your protein and making shakes for more calories?

And nuts have a lot of calories and are a good source of fuel.
