Okay, I'm looking for feedback on what to tell a new boyfriend....

I just met this amazing guy and while I know that he's sure to be very understanding, I have yet to tell him about my surgery. I am going on six months post-op. We've only known each other 2 weeks, but have become quick friends and very close (it just feels right...hard to explain, never felt like this before (as corny as that sounds)). Recently he's noticed that I don't eat much (I keep making the mistake of ordering soup when we go out to eat, which~for whatever reason~seems to be served in GIANT CAULDRONS! (or so they seem to me) and I can't eat but what appears to be a few bites). I've wanted to tell him, but the timing just hasn't been right (we've been surrounded by friends and I couldn't just blurt it out). I'm starting to think he's wondering if I have an eating disorder or that I'm a closet eater because I eat so little in comparison to everyone else...! I'm posting this asking for some feedback or suggestions on how to approach this with him. Again, I'm certain he'll be understanding and I think it's more my own hang-up about how to explain my motivation for taking the step to better my life. Any thoughts? You guys are so appreciated. Thanks.
