What is wrong???

I am 4 weeks post op (open RNY), and I have lost 48 pounds, I feel wonderful, but after my last consult, from my surgeon's office, just last week, they told me I should eat almost all regular foods, and that I should eat until I feel the sense of fullness, before I got put on the regular diet, I was eating exactly 1/2 a cup of food, per meal, I was told that since my pouch is a bit bigger, beause I'm a guy, that I may take between 1 cup to 2 cups to feel full, but this is really scary, I could eat up to 2 cups (which is a lot!!) I carefully make it 1 1/2 cups of food, but everyone in my family sees it as overeating and when I see that plate I feel the same way, it does not look like this amount is something someone out of WLS should be eating, I do feel the sense of fullness after eating that amount( who wouldn't??), and I was told that if I eat too much, I would know, because I'd either feel sick or throw up. This has never happened. The biggest problem is since I got on the regular diet, I have stopped losing weight! I called the Dr's office again, and they told me this is normal, that I should weigh myself weekly, well It has been a week and 2 days and I haven't lost a single pound! I don't know what it is that I'm doing wrong! If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it.
