I'm 4 weeks post RNY operation. I've noticed that now that I'm unable to eat food I get angry about food. I get mad that I can't eat, mad at my friends and family because they can eat what they want and I even get angry at the fact that I drive past so many restaurants etc... Is anyone else struggling with this at all? Does anyone have any ideas on how I can change that thought process and not let it bother me so bad?

Welcome to the WLS mental battles. It’s ok to be angry. Many of us start with some buyer’s remorse. First food stages made me a bit hungry and angry. things got better with real food stage.
Focus on the scale moving with your healthy choices. Keep your eyes on your short- and long-term goals. Recognize when food addiction is talking to you. Noting taste as good as weight loss:-)
(make sure food suggestions are on your plan) (make sure they fit your calories and macros for the day)
I like how it was said above. It’s what you can eat. bariatrics should not be torture. Food should be long term sustainable.
Real food stage nutrition should be flavorful. There are healthy options for the foods I enjoy. I eat hamburgers without the bun (lettuce wrapped) I even enjoy the taste of a turkey burger patty over beef. Healthy pizza, chicken fajitas without the tortilla, Check out bariatric friendly recipes.< /span>
You will be able to go to restaurants. Make it about the conversations and quality food not crap foods. Your safe orders are Protein and veggies. (replace carbs with more veggies) Kids or lite menus are also great.. You are now a cheap dinner date. Take home leftovers in a box for no cook meals later. Log them. Most restaurant menus are in MyFitnessPal food log.

I agree with other posters about talking to someone about your feelings on this, even starting this thread is helpful. I'm sure there is others out there experiencing the same things.
Since you have to eat and it has to be on your plan you could try to influence others around you to try your foods as a segway into social situations so you don't feel ostracized because of the food differences.
I literally would make everyone take a bite of something I was eating just to try. No one focused heavily on what I wasn't eating that way and a lot of my people began to swap things for slightly better choices.
With creativity and tenacity you will get through the early confusing stages.
Good Luck💜

My best guess would be to focus on what you CAN have instead of lamenting what you CAN'T have. Stay positive. Remember how healthy you're going to be by skipping the drive-thru.

Thanks for the encouragement! I just feel like I'm being ridiculous but at the same time I know I'll calm down lol

I got my RNY surgery on April 1st. Im very heavy and I'm short so thats what I needed for optimum weight loss. My bariatric surgeon told me that they do tons of sleeve to bypass surgeries because the sleeves fail for multiple reasons. My sister in law got the sleeve 2 years ago and had major complications with strictures.

I've been eating Wolf brand no bean chili. I add onion and garlic to it and cook it for awhile until the onion is tender. I only have to lightly puree it because it already has very small meat chunks.

You're right! I'm going to get my crap together and rock this opportunity like a geologist! lol Thank you so much for the inspiration

I had my surgery on April 1st and am really struggling with the Fluid intake and lack of weight loss. My dietician said that women struggle more with the weight loss because during our periods we retain Water and gain weight. I was told that drinking fluids is the most important part of the healing process. Something I've found helpful is getting a steamer from my local coffee stand. 16oz steamed milk with sugar free flavorings. The warm liquid goes down easier and it also relaxes your intestines.
