Am I eating not eating enough?!

Hello, I was sleeved June 1st, so I am 15 days out from surgery. I am still mostly on a liquid diet, I just added in a little bit of plain yogurt and no sugar added apple sauce. I have lost 9.6lbs since surgery, I feel like this is kind of low. Anyway, the point of this post: I am eating about 350 calories a day; is this too low, should I be eating more? Could this be why I am not losing more weight? I do hit my protein goal every day and always drink at least 60oz of water. I don't feel deprived or hungry really, so I have never wanted to eat more. What do you guys think? Am I not eating enough? Could the low calorie intake be why I am not losing as quickly or dramatically as most Sleevers do? Or is this normal? Thanks!!!

So I had my 2 week check up today (even though it's over two weeks) and got one on one time with my NUT and APRN. The NUT said that I wasn't eating enough and she would like me eating between 400-600 calories. It's really hard for me to do! For the past almost 3 weeks I have only been getting in about 300-350. Today I phased over to puréed foods and that helped a little. I was able to get my calories up to 430, so hopefully this will boost my weight loss a bit. I don't think I could physically fit anymore food. I am very happy to be on the next stage of the diet plan though. Basically, I was told to keep doing what I have been doing, add a little more food + water and then the pounds should come off. We will see!!!????
