Need some encouragement...6 weeks postop, on a plateau and afraid I'm eating too much

I had open RNY proximal on 3/8/00. Was on pureed foods for 4 weeks following surgery and am now on soft/regular foods. I'm a bit concerned about the amount of food I can eat. At times I can eat what seems like alot of food (a cup or better) but I usually take at least an hour to consume it. Trying very hard to take in all the water I'm supposed to daily and have begun to exercise. I'm not purposefully "cheating" at all, but I've been on a plateau now for better than a week...my weight loss has stalled at -23#. My "full" sensation doesn't come until well after I've finished eating but stays with me for a good 2-3 hours. Guess I just need some encouragement and some advice from other post-oppers. Thanks
