Not getting enough calories

Is this group still active? I hope so! 
I'm on day 7 of Atkins induction so I need to stay under 20g carbs/day. I'm eating as much food as it takes to satisfy me including bacon, steak, eggs, salads with dressing, half and half, etc. I eat until I'm full but at the end of the day I've only added up to somewhere between 600+ a little to 900+ a little. I've had stomach surgery (not as a diet aid) so I can't eat a whole lot at once and I fill pretty quickly. Any advice or suggestions for how to increase the calorie intake without increasing the carbs? Not because I'm hungry but because I don't think that low of calorie intake can be healthy. Thanks!
