Not getting enough calories...

I am a little over three months out from RNY and trying to concentrate on getting my protein in.  The problem I'm having is I don't think I'm getting enough calories.  I probably average 500-600 per day.  My doctor has not given me an amount but I'm worried that my body is in "starvation mode."  I only lost about 5 pounds last month total and nothing the last two weeks.  Has anyone out there been given a calorie amount?  Any suggestions of how to up the calories while getting the protein in?  Thanks so much for your help.

My surgeon's guideline was no more than 1000 a day while losing.  I found that starting my day with a protein shake, which I still do, helped me to get my body moving and give a jump start on my protein goals.   I also kept a journal of everything I put in my mouth, whi*****luded the calorie count, protein count and fluid ounces, to make sure I was meeting all goals...

Hi i had this same problem until i started having the eggface protein icecream and Oh Yeah Protein bars daily. This helped up both my calories and protein counts. I was not able to tolerate protein shakes and still can't 6 months out!
Good luck

a handful of nuts here and there provides good fats, protein and some extra calories. THat's what my nutritionist suggested to me.

I was told to worry more about getting the fluids (at least 64oz) and protein (60-80grams) in a day, and not worry too much about calories.  That didn't mean I could go crazy eating "junk" food, I just ate what my nuts recommendation was at the time (fish & chicken for the first 6 months) and only ate the portions they recommended.

My nuts diet was 400-600 calories a day until you lost 75% of excess weight.  I'm a year out and down 135lbs (80% lost), so I think what you are getting in should be fine. 

When in doubt, ask your doctor what he recommends.
