Follow-up to a previous question on additional calories and exercise

I posted a question this morning re: now that I am working out (cardio and weights), should I be increasing calories? The consensus here on AMOS is a resounding YES! Yet, I have contacted my surgeon and he said he was not concerned at all about the amount of exercise that I'm getting, that the personal trainer (who is certified and a nutrition major)probably doesn't understand that I have plenty of fat stores to burn. I'm really concerned. My gym is considering revoking my membership unless I agree to take in more calories. Does this sound right to anybody? I think it sounds a little strange. Any suggestions? I feel like I want to ignore the MD advice, eat a little more (like add a protein shake or two) but what if this screws up my weightloss?
