 How many calories should I be consuming three weeks post op?  My NUT never said

 My documentation says 800-1000 is what we really should shoot for, but if you're hitting 600, you're good.

I'm eating between 200 and 400. I'm wondering if I'm not eating enough and that is why my weight loss has stalled

 What is your protein intake ?

I hit 500 for the day with 83 grams of protein, I'm 2 weeks + 1 day.

Muscle milk was my shake but now I'm on mushy foods

I'm 3 weeks also, I am getting around 500-600 cals a day, with 60-80g protein. My nut wants me doing up to 110g protein because I'm tall but I can't seem to do it. You do slow down around 3 weeks out but it will pick back up again.

Jackie and Jessica don't really give caloric guidelines for the first 4 stages. The Portsmouth COE program just wants you to get in your protein and liquids each day -- 60 grams of protein and at least 64 oz of liquids (and don't forget your vitamins!)

When you go back for your follow-up with Jessica or Jackie, they'll review your typical meal plan, make suggestions and adjust if necessary for an increased/decreased calorie/fat/carb ratio.

All that being said, I believe at 3 weeks out I was about 400-500 calories a day, but I was totally meeting my protein and liquid goals.

Trust in the program; it works! Good Luck!
