I feel TOO good.. and feeling guilty about it. Is something wrong with me?

I am two weeks post-op. I'm down 17 pounds and 15 inches. I'm SUPPOSED to be eating Pureed Foods...but I'm not. I'm eating roast turkey/swiss steak/steamed vegetables/tuna salad/taco salad. NOT pureed - I just chew it REALLY well. I supplement with a Protein Shake, just in case. Today I had a total of 118 gr. protein/63 gr. carbs/21.4 gr. fat/6.5 gr. sugars/813 calories. I'm pretty sure I'd be content to eat this way the rest of my life. I'm satisfied. I'm eating about 3,000 calories less than I'm used to. I'm getting plenty of protein. Ok, I'm still having trouble pushing all the water..averaging about 35-45 ounces/day (but, hey.. I am a short person! lol). Does this sound wrong to anybody else? I know I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth..and complain about recovering SO well..SO quickly. But it doesn't sound right to me. Any thoughts, folks?
