Does anyone else feel depressed about how little they are supposed to eat?

I am 11 weeks and a bit post open RNY and find myself depressed about what I am allowed to eat....which is protein, protein, protein. First the first time I have been experimenting with crackers and more veggies and some low-fat popcorn. WEll...BIG MISTAKE! I have gained weight even though my overall calorie intake was below 1000 calories. I usually try never to go beyond 600 or 800 calories when I am doing all protein, mind you. I feel upset because I push myself so hard when exercising almost daily. I really really push myself to the limit of endurance. Frankly I just want to lay down and die sometimes. I get so weak and exhausted...so I dumbly thought...maybe add a few carbs... I feel like I am the only idiot who feels this way...everyone seems to feel so good by 11 weeks out... I am grateful I have lost 64 pounds...but I just wish it was not such a strict diet...
