You mention calories (which seem really low) but not Protein. What is your Protein target? Mine is 100 grams and my surgeon's range is 80-100 grams. How are you doing at getting in all of your protein? Are you able to consume at least 80 grams?

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight.

But, if you are eating so little you may not be getting enough nutrition to support your activity level and weight loss.

Getting in enough protein and Fluid (at least 64 oz) is critical for health and for weight loss.

Your calories are relative to your protein. What is your protein target?

My surgeon wants me to have 80gr

If you must "worry" then worry about Protein. If you are under your Protein target it is better to eat the extra protein calories.

I would up your calories. I did it and got out of the stall two days later and continue losing. Too little calories might be making your body store instead of burn.

Since you haven't lost in the last month, then you have lost 60 lbs in 3 mths. That is a lot of weight and you body is adjusting. Are you losing inches?

Eating your Protein and meeting Fluid goals are key. Proteins don't have many calories so up that, and drink lots and lots of Water.

I think I'm losing inches I need to measure and not focus on the scale

I'm only 2 weeks and 1 day out and I've had my first stall. I'm a bit sad but trying to embrace it. I haven't 'd in days. I've upped my Water drinking up to 2Ls now. I will have to admit it took me ages to get to a point where I could eat 3 meals a day. Now I am and started puréed foods yesterday. I feel smaller the scales just don't say so.
