When does this feeling of depression go away?

I am 4 weeks post-op and have been feeling really "blah" for the past few days. I am craving foods, but can't really eat them. So I continue eating my pea soups, cheese, lentil soups. The problem is: I don't think I'm eating enough, even though I am not hungry. I don't consider two tablespoons of pea soup a meal. What do you think? My friend is 2 weeks ahead of me and can eat 3 cocktail meatballs at one sitting. Even if I could tolerate beef, I would never be able to eat one whole one, much less three. Is it true that your pouch can be swollen for a certain period of time after surgery and that is why I can't eat alot. Is it also true that it takes a long time for anesthesia to leave your system? Could that be why I am so blah?
