i got surgery on my knee about 2 weeks ago. i went from being active 6-7 days a week to sitting on my butt in the same position all day. (im not allowed to put weight on it) im gonna be like this for 2 months and i am very worried about gaining weight. yesterday in the morning around 9 am, i ate 2 large helpings of ice cream and i made myself not eat again until 11 that night, and i ate potatoes with vegetables. of course, i drank water in between as to not get hydrated. today i have only eaten a tangerine and a medium portion of ice cream, and that was about 6 hours ago (it's 4.30 now)
so far my stomach hasn't felt hungry, but i feel myself losing concentration on what i'm doing (which is bad, because i have a ton of make up work to do lol). also my head feels kind of heavy..it's weird. so do you think this is healthy? if not how can i eat so that i dont gain weight these next 2 months?

First off, sorry about yoru knee, i hope it feels better soon :D
Well since yoru definitely worried about gaining wait, i woudl first figure out how many calories you can eat a day without gaining weight
Try this site
http://nutrition.about.com/od/changeyourdiet/a/calguide.htm
It takes yoru age, weight, and how active you are into account and tells you how many calories you shoudl be eating every day.
Then, instead of guessing how many calories you eat, write it down in a food journal
There is an online one here. Its perfect because you can search for the foods you eat and it will tell you how many calories carbs etc are in it

Then, just try to stay around the number of calories you should be eating using your journal to keep track.
Good luck :D
