Why do I feel my open RNY is a complete failure?

I am almost 3 weeks post op, and I have never dumped, felt nauseas, or vomited. I can eat anything that I want, I can drink immediatly after eating, and nothing bothers me. In my first 2 weeks I lost 18 lbs. I am now down about 22lbs but I feel like the surgery is not working to prevent me from being able to digest some foods. I can't eat the same quantities as before but nothing bothers me in the food department. If it were not for the 3 inch scar I couldn't tell if I had the surgery at all? What went wrong??
