You're hungry cuz you're not eating... Clear liquids have never been a meal and provide minimal nutrients. you'll feel better when you're on full liquids. also, being around all that food probably had more to do with head hunger than anything else. I would avoid those situations if possible for a while.. you won't find me sitting at a restaurant or anything bc of that very reason!

It gets better. It would get much better if your family was more supportive of you and didn't eat that crap in front of you, but you have to do your part to avoid exposing yourself to that stuff in the early days (for exactly the reasons you experienced; it's depressing to smell/see foods you used to eat and know you should not eat them!!)

Your body is still raw and reeling from the surgery, so hunger cues and fullness and all of that is going to feel really off for a while.

As far as feeling really down - fat stores hormones. As you lose fat, all of those hormones get flushed back into your body and can cause you to feel down, weepy, angry or other extremes. Be aware that you might experience mood swings, but remind yourself that it isn't really you - it is those hormones!

And everyone does get a bit "what did I just do" right after surgery when you're still swollen, sore, and can't hardly drink your little bits of Protein shakes and broths and things taste off or you don't feel any restriction.... This is a VERY short time in your journey, tho, so don't worry - you're going to be feeling great and doing way better in just a little while.

It will get better with time. You won't really start feeling the restriction until you start eating solids.

You will be able to enjoy those same foods again, in moderation.

As stated your hormones are a little out of whack during the initial weight loss; it is common feel emotional.

Maybe those were tears of joy on how much more handsome you are going to look?
