18 months out, cal/day?
That having been said, I am 5' 5" and 160 pounds. My RMR is around 1600, so I can presumably safely eat up to 1600 calories a day without exercise and maintain. I was told I am pretty darn typical-- that most people can safely eat up to about 10 times their weight in calories.
I eat 1200 calories a day. About 40% protein (110-130g a day still.) My meals are between 8-12 oz., protein first and foremost, several snacks.

The average for my surgeons patients maintaining is 1200... personally I need 1400-1800 to maintain my weight based on my metabolism test. I know other people who had surgery the same time as me eating as much as 2000 calories... so its hard to say! :-)
As for how much per meal my guidelines were 1.5-2 cups total.
