Hi G... There is no way that you are eating to much.. think about what you used to eat and what your are eating now... the odds are in your favor. In the 4th week you start to eat solid foods and that of course is going to slow down the weight loss from drinking liquids. And if you are going to start you period, that puts on at least 2 to 3 pounds of water weight. I know how you feel though, I am 4 weeks post op, I've lost 30 pounds and haven't lost anything for 5 days. I started to get worried, then I thought about loosing 30 pounds in 4 weeks.. that is amazing... Good Luck!
