NEED HELP! 4 months out! plateau

Hi everyone. I had surgery 4/3/03, so that means I am 4 months out now. I have lost 70 pounds, but the past 3 weeks I have done nothing but battle with 5 pounds. I still have about 50 pounds to lose. Anyway, I drink 60-80 oz of water daily, I take my vitamins, and I exercise 45 minutes to an hour on my bike about 5 days a week. Someone told me I may be going through the starvation mode. But I want to know what you think. On a typical day for breakfast I will have 1 and 1/2 eggs with cheese. Mid morning snack I will have half a protein bar, or string cheese. Lunch I will have a cup of cottage cheese and some nuts. Mid afternoon snack I will have the other half of the protein bar or some jerky. Dinner I will have some meat or cottage cheese again with maybe a couple of ounces of veggies or fruit. I am averaging between 800-1300 calories a day. Is this normal?
