I'm Scared To Eat....What is my Problem???

Hi Everyone! I feel like I turn to you guys constantly, but you all are very informative and supportive. I had Open RNY Distal on 8/10 and could not hardly eat at all after...followed Dr. protocal also..Alot of vomiting..This last week (WED) DR had to go back in and stretch my opening at the bottom of my stomach, was narrow and VERY RED. He said that I should be able to eat normally...WELL...I am scared to death to eat....I only feel comfortable with my runny Oatmeal and potatoes...I am not getting ANY proteins in..I tried MANY of the protein drinks and I am swearing off of those things...YUCKIE POOOH!!!makes me so sick...I did try a 1/2 of a meatball last nite and it stayed in but that is ALL that I had...Is this a mental thing with me????Should I follow my gut instinct and eat only what my body says to eat...but how long can a person live on runny oatmeal....the thought of anything else makes me sick to my stomach...I had to gag down that 1/2 of meatball last night..it smelled and tasted good for the first 2 bites and then my stomach went sour...Please help me with suggestions...I have eaten hardly ANYTHING since 8/10....BUT I have lost 58#....the hard way I feel....Thanks you guys...You are SO SUPPORTIVE AND IT SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE SUCH ENCOURAGING ANSWERS.......
