At 5 months nutritionist says 500 calories????

I saw my surgeon's nutritionist on Friday and she told me that basically I had been eating too many calories that I should only be eating 500 calories at 5.5 months out. That doesn't sound right to me. Also, I called my PCP and she said it didn't sound quite right to her either. I've been taking in between 600-800 calories per day, and logging everything on Fitday.com. According to their records I've only lost about 30 pounds since my surgery, according to my scale I've lost about 45 pounds (I came home 12 pounds heavier from the hospital). Any comments would be appreciated.
