wow flab u less!! Im not an expert, but 300-400 calories doesn't seem like enough!! I would be falling over at that number. Are you loosing inches? I have noticed I haven't had these huge weight loss that some are experiencing, but my clothes are bigger and I have went from a size 20 to a size 16. I had my surgery on the 19th and I can still tell there are times that, for what ever reason, I'm retaining Water....my wedding ring is usually very loose and there are times when it is hard to get off. So some could be that.

I would suggest you eat a little more.....(not for sure about the starvation mode). But also It seems like you are trying to stick to a high protein/low carb diet which is what I am doing with good results, but my numbers are more like 800calories/60 protein/30 carbs I have lost about 26 pounds in 4 weeks. but we all are different.

But although yogurt and cottage cheese are good for you, they do have carbs.

Keep up the good work!! You are going to wake up one day and see that you have lost several pounds over night and wonder how that could have happened!! The body is a mysterious thing. Im proud of you for working to establish your routine that includes good eating habits and exercise. Thats half the battle.

I'm in agreement your body is in starvation mode you need lots of more calories especially from Protein.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
