The first week is always the hardest. It gets easier.
One thing that helps a lot of new raw foodists is to eat your fill with every meal, so you won't be hungry for a while. Don't worry so much about mixing foods improperly. Just aim to stay 100% raw, and make refinements later when you're past the hump.
Juicing has been working really well for me lately. I try to drink about 32oz of fresh veggie juice per day. That seems to balance out the sweet fruit I eat.
Snacking on lots of veggies may not be that helpful, since veggies don't have many calories. Better to make a big salad with a high-calorie dressing and/or some avocados and olives, or a smoothie with 4 bananas to keep the calories high.
If you're hungry all the time, it basically means you aren't eating enough calories -- aim to consume more fruit and/or fat.
