1 week post op and can eat and drink everything
There may be a great gastric surgeon in your community but if your surgeon really did not warn you about the risks of smoking after RNY and really gave you no post op diet guidelines at all, you are not seeing the best surgeon. Please, find a registered dietician that can give you some guidance. You clearly need some help planning appropriate meals and portion sizes.
Actually, you could choose to order nothing when you go out to dinner if you wanted. However, you could also choose to order something appropriate for where you are in relation to your surgeon and eat an appropriate portion of that.
I gather that, along with not telling you why smoking after RNY is a bad idea. your surgeon didn't tell you why you should not drink alcohol this early out either? Please, please get some education and professional help here. You are going to do serious damage to yourself if you continue on this path.
I don't think anyone here is being narrow minded. They just aren't patting your hand and saying it's OK that you're eating this way right after surgery. I'm sorry you don't like their honest, direct responses, but it's information you need to hear.
I think the problem has everything to do with you and encourage you to see a therapist as well as a dietician.

You can justify your actions all you want... And if you and your husnband are that well connected in the medical community, you should not have any trouble finding someone to give you the BASIC information on post-op eating that your surgeon did not give you.
Good luck. I wish you, as everyone, success, but I fear that your are going to have a very difficult road, especially if you needlessly attack people who are trying to offer you help so you CAN be successful
