Is my surgeon too easy-going and liberal?

My doctor is 5-7 days full liquids, 5-7 days puréed, 5-7days mechanical soft, and then to chicken, fish and adding food. You progress through the range when you feel ready.

I'm almost a year out and have been eating on the average of 1,000 to 1,200 calories for about six to eight months out. If I go too low I don't lose. I do have to be careful with carbs, over 120 carbs I also stop losing. So I try to eat around 80 to 100 grams of carbs. For a while I was just losing 3 pounds a month,but I got back on track and lost 5 last month.

I am worried that if I eat too little calories now, that my "set point" will be lower later. Or is that just an irrational fear and my body/level of exercise is going to figure out its own set point for cals whether I like it or not?
