I'd try to help, but you either aren't eating anything or aren't logging everything. I took a look at your diary.

I'm not sure how far out you are, but in the early days it's mostly about staying hydrated and resting. Trust that you will eventually have no problem hitting your calorie goals.2

Um... Trust me, you'll be eating plenty soon enough.3

I'm a year out and I still consume 800-1000 barely!!!
Stay hydrated and don't worry about calories.2 -
I'm a hair over a month out and consume anywhere from 500-800 calories daily. MFP says my weekly average is about 690 most of the time. As others have said, concentrate on getting enough protein and water/liquids. As time goes by, your stomach won't be as sensitive and you will be able to add different foods that are higher in calories and protein.2

Early on, it'll be low like that. As time goes on you'll be able to eat more. I exercise a lot and lift weights. Was told 800 calories. I tried it, I about collapsed trying to perform on such low calories. I recently saw my nutritionist..I'm 9 months out and told her I can't live on 800 calories and her eyes got huge. She said absolutely not! Not with the activity I'm doing. Thank goodness!2

Agree with everyone - I work out (spin class, personal trainer and walking the dogs 2x/day). My surgery was 4/18/16 and I give myself 1200 caps/day. Most days I am anywhere between 1050 and 1300. Some days so go over a bit (usually weekends). Hydration is key in the very beginning.1

Two months out, my daily caloric intake is around 1200 before any exercise. Some days I am a bit hungrier and go higher. A couple of days here & there, I'm not hungry at all.2
