Calorie Concern

I track everything on MFP. I was sleeved on Jan 7th and I started at 250. I was only able to eat (drink) between 400 and 500 calories per day until this week. I started the week at 233. I have increased my calorie intake to 800 calories per day and I've increased my protein intake significantly. I'm still not getting 80 grams, but it is much more than I was getting before. Today I am 2 pounds heavier. Could eating 800 calories per day cause me to gain since my body was used to 500?

You're right on track for the 3 week stall. My longest stall was at 3 weeks out and lasted 20 days. Just keep doing you and follow your plan. Your body is just readjusting. I hit a stall every 2-3 weeks. I'm a classic stair-step loser. I've stair stepped my way down 211 pounds so far :)

DO NOT worry and do not do anything crazy. Just get your Water and Protein in and keep doing you. YOU GOT THIS. It's a mental mind **** so hold on tight.

Thank you. It doesn't make sense that I can eat so little and not lose weight every day but it helps to know I'm normal.

At this point month 1/2 out and similar diet as you my weight has been plateauing every so often or few days apart and between and when it does the weight fluxtuates a few pounds up, stalls, then I loose a a few more than the high number after couple days, another pound or more then the same. Has been on going for a while, I expect added exrcise soon will change this some but I expect these plateaus and fluxtuations to go on. I do lose more going downwards and its better maybe to judge on a weekly bases as others do it and I've read here on forums before.
