Google NSNG and learn the right way to eat each day
At about 8 weeks post op, I was eating about 2 ounces per meal. My calories were in the 500 to 600 cals per day range. So Id say its very similar to where you are now. the amount I could eat increased slowly over time. At that time, my typical meal was 2 ounces of chicken or chicken salad, one sea scallop, or 2 ounces of salmon, or a slice of deli turkey wrapped around a cheese stick, or a part of a chicken sausage, etc. All protein. Veggies came quite a bit later.
best of luck,

My calories average about 600/day, 20-25 carbs, 60-75 protein, and about 80oz water/day.
My meals consist of about 2oz protein, sometimes a bite of veggie. Yesterday I had 1/2 chicken sausage with sauce, onion and mushroom. Or 2 slices deli meat and 1 slice cheese. Maybe a chicken drumstick. Or a meatball. I even had a small salad with some turkey pepperoni and hard boiled egg.
