Why are you counting calories and make daily intake so high?

My surgeon said not to count calories. Drink 64 oz. water plus protein supplements. If all I can eat is 1/2 cup cottage cheese or 1 egg for a meal and 1 oz. fish and 1/4 cup cottage cheese for a meal then that is all I need to eat as my stomach will not allow anymore and I should not try. I tried to explain the body might be going into starvation mode but he insists that as long as I'm energetic, take my B-12 shots, walk, take vitamins, drink water and take protein supplements equal to 60 grams/day that all is fine. My dietician disagrees but doctor insists I follow the program or I'll stretch stomach and gain down the road. HELP!
