I'm 2 weeks out and my surgeon told me to move to soft food. Cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, chili and ground meats are some of the food I can have. I have no calorie goal or carb goal. What should I be aiming for? I dont want to mess this up. Just afraid to start real food.

There's not really a set goal. Just make sure to stop eating when you feel full. You won't be able to eat a lot anyway. I'm 2 months out and I barely get in 450 to 500 calories a day. Make sure to keep a food diary. I try not to do to many carbs at this time but I do indulge in low carb products from time to time.

All you should be focusing on at this point is hydration and protein, as much as you can get of both. Nothing else matters.

When I was 2 weeks out, I was managing my 64 ounces of water without issue, and pretty close on my protein. My surgeon doesn't worry about any other macros or calories, but I tracked everything and was consuming around 2-300 calories a day.
