What do you count? Calories or Carbs? Which seems to work best?

I am almost 3 months post op down about 49lbs. I have been counting calories not carbs. I have stayed below 600 calories per day, however, I find myself getting closer to 700 + calories per day now. I talked to a dietician who acted like I was weird when I mentioned watching my carbs. My surgeon also stated that counting carbs works just as well as counting calories but that I shouldn't try combine the two methods. I would like to hear from those post op who have counted calories or carbs which method has been more successful for them. I've also seen posts stating that you need to have about 900 calories per day to lose weight. I would appreciate any opinions on this. Please know I don't have a dietician and the one I did see was an hour away and not very helpful. Thank you for any help.
