No weight lose even with eating around 800 calories

1. You are not gaining muscle at a deficit.
2. Starvation mode isn't a thing.

^^ this.

and,if you are not losing weight, you are eating more calories than you think. count, measure, weigh everything you eat and drink using digital scale, not eyeballing. if you only have 12 lb to lose, you do not have to eat at that much of a deficit, may be eat between your BMR and TDEE

Are you taking measurements? If you look smaller, it sounds like you are toning, but not losing. Which, I think is ultimately better given your history with the gastric sleeve.

Can you explain how someone goes about "toning not losing".

There are many times the scale doesn't move, but the measurements change. That's why it's so important to not get so focused on the scale, but also take measurements.

That still does not explain toning not losing.
What exactly is toning?

:laugh:

Try 700

Stop...with...starvation...mode...bullsh@t....please.

If you eat at a deficit you lose weight over time. This trend does not magically reverse itself if you eat even less. That makes zero sense and its an excuse people use way to much.

Try 700

No, do not try 700.

Whether stravation mode is a thing or not, eating 800 calories is not the way to go. My mom did that and lost her hair and severely damaged her metabolism.

If you are going to eat 800, don't run or exercise.

With the surgery she should have been on a Dr's supervised low calorie plan. It sounds like she is either doing that same plan again to lose the weight or hadn't shifted to maintenance mode. Going back to the Dr is the best suggestion.
