4 weeks post op and I've been at the same weight for 3. diet to blame?

My surgeon made me lose 20lbs before surgery and then after surgery I lost another 20 but I've been at the same weight now for 3 weeks. I'm worried that maybe I started eating normal food too soon but it didn't bother me and I was always careful to chew thoroughly and eat slowly. I try to eat low fat, but so many of the sugar free foods have a lot of fat. And I can eat a whole 8oz of food, is that normal? I can drink about 10 oz. I'm getting all my protein (isopure is great) but I still have a hard time remembering to get all my water. A typical day would be something like this: Breakfast - half a cup of fat free cottage cheese and a half a canned (lite) peach or 8oz fat free milk, CIB and one scoop of isopure Snack - half a cup of sugar free, low fat vanilla bluebell ice cream Lunch - a cup of chicken and sausage gumbo with the fat drained. Snack - 8oz fat free milk, CIB and one scoop of isopure Dinner - chicken breast, grilled Snack - low fat Ritz crackers w/low fat peanut butter. You think I'm eating too much fat? Maybe a combo of that and not drinking my water? Not exercising very much either? This is so depressing. =(
