Why Am I At A Standstill?

I am 6 weeks postop from open RNY. I started at 295 lbs. and now weigh about 259lbs. I lost 36 pounds in about four weeks, but for the last two weeks....NOTHING! I thought maybe because it was that time of the month was why I wasn't losing. But now that it has come and gone...and still no weight loss (and NO INCHES EITHER), I am really scared. Is it normal to have a plateau so soon out and for two whole weeks? I am afraid that maybe I am not getting ENOUGH calories in and my body is in starvation mode. But, I don't WANT to eat more and I get sick trying to. I know this may sound dumb..but I was never really a big eater before surgery. I have been heavy since I was just a baby no matter what I ate or how I dieted. I am getting about 55-65 grams of protein in a day, about 45-55 ounces of water and about 30 minutes of high impact exercise in daily. I am really happy with my weight loss already...so please don't tell me how appreciative I should be. I already am! I just am scared that I am one of those people who wont lose any more weight. How long before I should be really worried?
