Calories????

I am almost 8 weeks post op and my Dr told me not to worry about calories to just make sure I drank my 64 oz of water a day and make sure I get between 60 and 80 grams of protein a day. Well I have been able to do that but started tracking what I eat on a app on my phone and for the last 2 weeks I average between 700 and 800 calories a day and was wondering if that was either too many or not enough? I know some of you have to count your calories so I was just wondering what your Dr's suggested when it came to this. I am still losing weight although I have had 2 stalls but down almost 35 pounds since surgery.

Do you mean 60-80 grams of Protein? Or do you actually mean fiber?

My surgeon said 600-800 calories a day during the losing stage. I am also assuming that you are supposed to have 60-80 gms of protein and not fiber. With that much fiber, there'd be no room for protein!
