I'm 10 days post op and I feel the same. I have cried over various things for the past week (my kids whining about homework, my divorce last year, my dog barking) and I finally realized on Sunday that I am depressed about food. I get hungry but I get full really fast too. Sometimes I still want to overeat! Then I realize that the 1/2 cup of Soup filled me up and get scared to push it.
I've got some head games happening.
Are you on soup yet? Saved my life.

Like you, I grieved. After surgery, when I was on liquids and healing, I cried and was angry as hell. But I also realized that mourning of comfort food was necessary to move forward on this journey. It's that unhealthy relationship with food that led me to be morbidly obese needing the Lap Band to begin with. I knew it was time to deal with my emotions and start a new chapter in my life.
I found being honest helped. I didn't try to deny I was sad or angry and allowed myself to move through those emotions. The good news was, by the time I finally got back on real food 6 weeks later, I was definitely past my fatty food addiction so it made the transition into eating healthy a lot easier.
Just remind yourself that you are strong and you can totally do this.
Best wishes

I am on Day 4 post op and all I want is everything I can't have! I keep questioning whether or not I did the right thing. I am so sick of these liquids and protein shakes!
I just want real food! I know this is part of the reason that I havent succeeded on diets before...I just can't seem to get myself out of this food depression.
