This Sunday I will be two month post-op Lap RNY

I have a few issues. #1 -- I am going thru a real depression and I don't know why, except that I hate the Christmas season anyway and I think that coupled with this surgery, it's really hit me. I have never thought of Christmas in the perspective of those who HAVE, I think of those who HAVE NOT and go thru a real sad mood every single Christmas. All I want to do when I get home from work is go to bed and wait for it all to go away, which it finally has, thank goodness. #2 -- I'm keeping myself more or less on a soft-food diet because I still can't tolerate things like tuna, chicken, turkey, any kinds of meats. So I am depending on protein shakes, chili, soft foods, etc. and I KNOW I'm not getting in all my protein -- altho I AM taking my multi-vitamin and calcium citrate daily. Plus 99% of the time I'm drinking all my water...have to force it down tho cause I never was a water drinker. I'm really trying, folks. I've read here on this site that if you have to choose between water and food, choose the water, which is what I'm doing. #3 -- I'm having two cravings. I want pizza. The only reason I haven't tried it, is because I live by myself and won't order a whole pizza, just for probably 1/2 slice or less. AND I'm craving sugar, something sweet. I'm really trying to be compliant here. At two months, am I doing okay? Is the eating gonna get better? Will I EVENTUALLY be able to eat real food? I live in a small town and do not attend any support groups. I depend on this site for all my questions, knowledge, etc. Thanks everyone.
