Sometimes you need to play with your diet to find what works for you.
First, are you on real foods or still on mushies? That makes a big difference because mushies limit your choices, making it harder. Also, the first month after surgery is about healing rather than weight loss and it's not uncommon for people to gain a little before they get a couple fills and have some good restriction.
With that said, everyone's body looses differently. Some do great with high Protein, others can still loose while eating a lot of carbs along with their Protein. The same is true for calorie intake. Some will lose like crazy consuming less than 1000 calories, others need more. But, if you're not getting enough calories, it will greatly slow down your metabolism. 800 calories a day seems like a very small amount.
I was consuming about 1000 calories a day and my weight loss suddenly slowed. I increased it to 1100-1200 a days and now the weight is just melting off again- I lost 23 pounds in the last month. For me, I needed more calories to kick my metabolism into working.
