Is anyone out there still on liquids and want to eat really really bad?

HI. Michelle Job here. :) I am 2 1/2 weeks post op, open rny, on the liquids stage still and down 31 lbs. I have a total of 4 weeks liquids. I am so stressed about not being able to eat. I know a lot of it is head hunger, I don't feel hunger pains. I have an appetite feeling like I want to eat. I know my body is not used to going food free so my brain is not understanding why I am not eating and thus I am seriously getting upset that I can't eat. I cook for my family (which I enjoy so very much) and the smell is just agonizing. Sometimes I take a bite and chew it and spit it out just for the flavor of it. But that is not doing it for me. If you are suffering from the same thing, or already did and you have some advice please help. I do NOT regret the surgery at all, I'm just not knowing how to deal with this difficult stage. Thanks....
