Am I losing too fast?

I never thought this would be a concern of mine, but I am getting a little worried. I began at 321 pounds and after just over 5 weeks post-op, I am down 56 pounds. I admit, I'm not eating like I should be. I have been having this annoying problem where it feels like there is a "bubble" between my breasts and after a while (like an hour or so), I throw up whatever I ate, on purpose because I can't stand the discomfort anymore. The food isn't stuck, I know what that feels like. When I questioned my surgeon about it, he said its normal. I was wondering if maybe I was getting air bubbles in there. At this point, I hate eating and I am sure I'm not eating enough. Daily, I try to get in 4 or 5 bites of yogurt, a couple of cubes of cheddar or mozzerella cheese, half of a piece of sandwhich-size ham or turkey, and a few bites of fresh apple or applesauce. I am supposed to still be on pureed, but I just can't do that. I do chew til there is virtually nothing left in my mouth though. I definitely get in enough water (and then some) and I do take my vitamins. I saw my surgeon a week ago today and I had lost 46 pounds then. Now a loss of 10 pounds since then? Does it sound like a lose of 56 pounds is too much at this point or am I on track? HELP!
