Hi
the hightened activity would normaly suggest she is getting ready for laying, searching for a good place so thats quite normal.
the fact that she has only had one meal since the copulations is not to good but would be the reason she is drasticly loosing weight if she is carrying eggs they will be depleating her fat reserves, you said she still looks plump in the last 3rd of her body length, so could well have eggs their, you cant always feel eggs if they are small and are being held up high to the back bone so i wouldnt worry too much about that, try not to stress her out to much , cover the front of her viv with news paper to give her more privicy and remove the water bowl if you havnt yet, just incase she decieds to lay her eggs in it and they drown. you could also leave a small meal in her viv over night , say a couple of fluffs , she may eat them, many of my females will eat on the day of laying if the food size is right.

dont panic and give her time, it sounds like she is ready..

re absorbing her eggs could be in play, it does sometimes happen with females that havnt eaten while carrying. but hopfully she is just carrying small eggs.

Hope that helps and i hope she lays eggs for you.

Paul.
