Do you have days where you have to force yourself to eat?

I am two months post op and feel great with a weight loss of over 40 lbs. I am no longer craving candy, chips, high fat foods. All of the typical high calorie foods we are so familiar with before surgery. After surgery I craved but my cravings have left me. Over the last week or so, I have lost my appetite(SP). I have to force myself to eat. My surgeon wants me to eat as close to 1500 calories over several meals per day but I'm lucky if I can get in close to 1000 on some days. I'm returning to work today and I usually eat when I get to work(evening shift) and 4 hrs later during my lunch break . So I know I will be eating even less calories now. Any suggestions on how I can get in some extra calories? I still cannot eat fish, chicken, beef but can tolerate eggs, cheese, yogurt.
