If you eliminate Protein your body will start breaking down muscle to get it. I would talk to your doctor but in my opinion 200 calories per day is dangerously low.

I agree.... plus your heart is muscle and you don't want to damage that... take care of yourself...

@@GSleeve822,

Congratulations on your surgery! If you don’t already know how many calories and how much Protein you should be getting, I would suggest contacting a professional, even if it means paying. If not, at least check online, or use some basic guidelines of at least 1000 calories a day including 65 grams of Protein.< /p>

There are a lot of things about 200 calories a day that are possibly problematic:

-Losing a pound a day now is fun, but your body might protest and you may hit a plateau that is hard to overcome.

-Dropping your calories so low lowers your metabolism even more than it would have dropped as you lose weight. That’ll make it harder not only to keep losing weight, but also to keep the weight off. The effects can last for years!

-Your body’s muscle is probably being broken down.

-You’re not getting anywhere near enough nutrients from food.

-Being unable to eat more can be a sign that something is wrong.

If you’re not able to even tolerate shakes, you should really see a doctor to prevent short-term or long-term problems! Good luck.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
