Surprised I need to count calories already at 3 weeks out

I am 3 1/2 weeks out from surgery and been on soft/purée for a week and a half. I am happy I haven't really had any food tolerance issues. But i found it easy to get over 1000 calories in also.

At my 2 week nutrition appointment they didn't even mention a calorie limit/goal because she said I can expect to get so little in it won't be an issue. But from pre-op education and other sources I think I should not be going above 800.

I knew long term that it's possible to over eat still even with limited capacity but I'm surprised it's already an issue. Getting in 60g of Protein and staying under the calorie goal it seems like Greek yogurt is all I should eat lol. Maybe it will be easier and more normal once I can incorporate in more lean meats again. My diet is very dairy heavy at the moment.

Dense protein is going to change the entire thing....It will fill you up and close that flap on the bottom of your stomach....
