I can eat almost anything and everything, why?

I had this surgery because, as I explained to my husband, to prevent me from eating too much, or the wrong types of food. My doctor okay'd my diet of almost anything so at three weeks out I am able to eat one whole McD's sausage biscuit, or 2 slices of Papa John's thin crust pizza. I do not throw up, nor do I dump. I did feel a bit quesy after eating chips and queso and part of a cheese quesadilla. I think it was too much fat. Why after surgery should I be able to control myself anymore than before? I have been fussed at when I posted before that if I knew I was going to eat like that, why did I even have surgery. I honestly thought my body would prevent me from eating like that. What is this tool people keep talking about?! I feel like I do not have one. <P> I am transected, have regular BM's, no pain, no nausea, I guess just a huge pouch. I must say that I eat much less than I used to. I weighed 270 three weeks ago and I am down to 245 consuming between 850 to 1600 cal per day. Protein intake has been difficult as I hate shakes and have tried a few other things all to no avail. I will keep working on that though. If I couldn't keep to the Atkins Diet before, how can I now. Please advise kindly. Thank you!!
