How much protein should I be getting in at two weeks post op?

I am two weeks post op, and only getting in 40-50g of protein a day. My doctor doesn't want us using protein shakes, he wants up to get it from food. I am still on a pureed diet of three 4oz. meals. If I am not getting enough protein, will this slow my weight loss down. I only lost 10.5lb in two weeks. I am a lightweight also, but wondered if protein had anything to do with it also.
