No, you're not eating too much. You may actually need more calories if you're working out.

I had surgery the same day as you and am eating between 600-800 cal per day. Most people say they are told not to worry too much about calories, but concentrate on protein and liquid. I've seen other's post here and think we are in the correct ballpark for our stage.
