Is anyone angry about food?

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?

    So I think as everyone here agrees: 1. This is a very common experience many bariatrics share. 2. You should really seek a referral to a bariatric therapist to help facilitate your movement

It's ok to feel emotions. Many of us food addicts would just medicate with food and suppress any kind of feelings (except eating to excess). You can be mad! Let it out!!! It's ok to mourn your loss too. Food has been a friend to me over the years, but actually I abused her and she did the same to me. Just like a real friend, cut that toxic bitc# out!!!! LOL But I think what you're feeling is perfectly normal and healthy as long as it's not interfering with your life or leading you to bad decisions.
