I wonder if I am in starvation mode

I had my 12 week checkup yesterday and I am only down >41 I am 5'2" 291 day of surgery. I am not complaining, but I am only getting 650 calories a day and 100 grams of protien and 60 oz of water, and I do try to walk 1/2 hr every day and more some days. My surgeon has me on a 6 meal a day I have 2 oz of cottage cheese at breakfast, then 2 hr later I have a protien drink, (carbsolutions), then lunch beef patty with cheese, the 2 hours later protien drink again, then supper 2 oz of grilled chicken or some type of meat and 1 oz of veggie, and also 8 oz of V8 daily. I take 1500 mg of calcium citrate and 2 chewables, and 1 B12 sublinguel, I asked if I could be in starvation mode and the dietitian said no many do well on 650 calories a day, but if we only absorbe half of what we take in I am concerned. Well now I am 3 weeks late on my monthly and I have never been late a day in my life (there is no way I could be pregnant), so with the loooong plateaus, slow loss and now late for my monthly could it be starvation, and I think I should have more calories do you? Or what should I do? Thankyou in advance :0) Rosemary
