16 days post-op -- Only 5 pounds down. Help???

I had my open conversion to an RNY May 20th. BMI is 57. I am tracking all of my calories on Fitday.com, and I have had numerous college classes on nutrition. Calories are not sneaking in, trust me. I just came home from the hospital again yesterday. I was in for a post-op infection. They put bags of fluids in me, so I am not suicidal yet. But I have consumed less than 3000 calories in two weeks and am down only 5 pounds. Any clue? Can't exercise yet... hopefully next week.
