Help! I'm 3 weeks post op and only lost 10lbs!

I had a revision from a VBG to a RNY, and although I'm eating very little, concentrating on protein and fluids, I'm not losing weight. I lost the 10lbs mostly while in the hospital. I don't get it. In the past 18 months I lost about 80lbs after the VBG in July of 98, but started gaining inspite of a "bulge" in my pouch, and constant vomitting. I don't know what to do. I am premenstrual, and hope that has something to do with it, but I really think I should be losing more weight. I walk everyday -- am off the pain meds... I'm baffled and worried. Any input woould be greatly appreciated.
