I'm scared to eat
I'm 3 weeks out and so far everything is looking great. I'm sticking to the plan, I'm measuring everything and my pouch seems to be happy. So far I've lost 21 pounds. My calorie consumption is aprox 400-500 daily and I cant seem to get more then 55-59 gr. of protein a day. I believe I could probably add a bit of protein but I'm afraid to do so because I don't want to increase my calories. I am terrified that if I eat more I will stop losing or slow it down or even worst gain weight 
I'm not sure what to do. Has anyone else experienced these feelings early on?

adding more dense protein will not up your calorolies a lot and will help your weight loss
I had my RNY on Dec 23, 2016 and have lost 30lbs so far...they still have me on full liquids until Jan 17th..I feel like I could move to puréed foods..but not sure if I should yet..
no, you should follow your plan and not advance. The most important thing is protein forward. Protein and more protein. It is lower I calls than most anything else
follow your plan, you just had major surgery and you can mess yourself up if you advance too early.

We all want to lose all of the weight in a week. It's natural to feel that way. Take it one step at a time. At three weeks you are probably still on mush so counting calories is a waste. As a matter of fact, the great and wise Grim Traveller taught me to stop counting calories. He also taught me to minimize even healthy carbs until I reach my target.
ONE STEP AT A TIME. Get your protein up and keep following the program! You'll be great!
Try adding an adkins lift drink if you need a little boost of protein. It is 80 calories i think. Or add protein powder to something. I was about 600 calories for a while after.

I do understand the scared the scale will stop going downward feeling. I am fighting that feeling weekly. Every time my weight drops then stops for a little while I have to continue to remind myself that as long as I am doing what is right it will continue to go down. I have this constant fear that I will stop and just not go any further.
