WhWhy do so many post-ops resort to fast food within a few weeks of surgery?

I've read hundreds of profiles and belong to several e-groups...I have read of many people that eat chili from Wendy's, pizza, theatre popcorn, drink colas, eat candy, etc...I thought the whole point of having this major surgery was to use it as a tool for health and wellness? I do not mean to offend anyone but I can't have my stomach opened up, rearranged and cut out only to destroy it with unhealthy foods!!!!! I can't even tolerate foods like that now!!!!! I am pre-op (obviously) and really want to know if the post-op food issues are those I need to prepare myself for--I'm terrified that I will be able to eat anything I want and not get sick, therefor, overeat and defeat the purpose of the surgery! Help--I just want to understand!!!!!
