How many calories should I be eating at 10mos post op?

I had an appointment with my doctor the other day and he said I should be eating between 500 and 600 calories per day and when I'm ready to maintain my weight, move to 1000-1200. I started at 249 and now I'm 153. I exercise almost daily for at least 30 minutes, usually 45. I just can't believe that I'm still supposed to be consuming so little. I can eat more now (still not a lot, but significantly more than right after surgery) and with my exercise, I was just wondering if this is right? Any advice would be helpful!! Thanks.
