Does it really get better after surgery?

I am two and 1/2 weeks post op rny with gastrectomy. I am having the hardest time judging the amount of food I can actually eat. I end up with the foamies and am miserable. I guess I am having a hard time adjusting. I had lap band last june which was removed 2 1/2 weeks ago and thought I was better prepared. I lost 12 lbs the first week. I find it hard to believe that I will ever be able to eat semi-normally again. I am kinda depressed when I read what others are eating for dinner on the site and don't think it will ever be possible. How long before it starts to get better? It seems somedays are worse than others.
