Exactly how may calories or how much food should one be eating at 2 weeks post-op?

I too am having a hard time getting in enough protein. I hate pureed foods! I know that I am not getting enough protein( the shakes are terrible! I am lactose intolerant,so milk products are a problem for me also). I do not feel like I am losing weight fast enough, even though I feel very deprived. I posted previously that my surgeon has recommended 4 tablespoons or 2 oz. of food at each meal(3 times per day) followed by 2 oz. of skim milk, 1/2 hour later. Is this bad advice? Please help! I don't know what I should be eating or how much!
