I don't understand how some can eat so much after surgery.

...I am pre-op. I've read questions / complaints from post-ops about being able to eat a whole burger or several pieces of pizza just a few months out and they are afraid they are going back to their old habits. First of all, I can't even imagine being able to eat a whole hamburger or several pieces of pizza if my stomach were the size of my thumb. Second of all, why would anyone even want to try to eat that much after surgery? I guess I don't understand - I thought if I had this surgery (RNY) I wouldn't be able to eat that much again - that along with changing our food choices makes this tool work for us? Am I wrong? How is this possible?
