Surgery was April 1st and I just move to soft foods last week. At my appointment my doc told me to stay between 600 - 800 calories and to log in MFP. Every time I complete my day it tells me unless I up my calories then my body will go into starvation mode. Should I be worried? Is this going to happen?

Mine tells me the same thing everyday. Do not worry and just follow the doctors instructions.

I've got enough fat reserves for a few months. Mine says a similar warning. Just follow your doctor's plan.

It says that all the time lol don't worry about it too much. Follow your doctor's guidelines. To be honest though, you might go into starvation mode. My body did I think. I didn't lose any weight for 2 weeks when I started mushy foods even though I was only eating 600-800 calories a day. I have found that if I eat under 1200 calories too often, I stall out in my weight loss. But it doesn't happen to everyone since everyone's bodies are different. If it does happen to you, just know that it's temporary because you will increase your calories gradually as you move through the food stages. It's not super important that you are losing tons of weight the first few weeks anyways. Best of luck to you

you technically are in doctor supervised starvation, especially the first few weeks surgery. i would just listen to the doctor, they know best, for the most part.

starvatioooon mode? we can live off of our fat!

I am on my fitness pal too, and it has always said - "starvation mode." I just ignore it because we are being doctor supervised (like someone else said). I go with the calories that my doctor has prescribed for me - between 800-1000. Sometimes I go just a little above, sometimes below - but I stay right around that spot. I also do not add calories back in for exercise.

Thank you everyone. This makes me feel a lot better. I will just keep doing what my doctor has advised and stay at 600 - 800 per day.
