I have heard through going to support group meeting that it is very normal to "morn" food. being that you are only 5 days post-op, I think what you are feeling is normal and something that I don't look forward to going through. I also think that the feeling you get by taking food to work and the like will be replaced by the feeling you will get from the positive attention your weight loss will bring. I lost 70 lbs doing weight watchers and when I was going through that, I had many people at work that I didn't really have any relationship with give me very nice comments and ask me about how I was losing the weight. I can only assume it will be similar after my surgery. Another person on here described her feelings after surgery as "buyers remorse" but I think that too will pass. good luck to you and remember, just because can't eat everything you used to, doesn't mean you can't cook it.

I think I will comment from two different perspectives...if I may. <BR><BR>First from the man perspective. Maybe he is scared...maybe he's worried that once you lose the weight, you won't want to be with him any more. or you start getting more attention from other guys and start looking at the greener pasture...so to speak. I would think that he would do well with some reassurance from you that even after you lose weight, even after you start getting the added attention from others, that you still love him and that will not change. <BR><BR>Ok perspective 2. I'll call this the Man perspective #2 or the child perspective (since there is not a whole lot of difference sometimes). Have you ever had a child act out because they are wanting attention? and any attention, even bad attention is better than no attention in their eyes. Maybe, in his eyes, you have been spending so much time and attention leading up to this surgery that he is feeling left out. Maybe a night out, just the two of you, once a week would help him appreciate the time you spend together more.<BR><BR>Anyway, just a couple of thoughts from a guy who has no idea what you or your husband are going through. Take them for what they are worth. Just remember, they were free.<IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://cdn.verticalsleevetalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif">

Wow. I can't imagIne going through this process and then surgery with out the support that I have. Since my wife is getting sleeved too, I don't get assanign comments like that. I am so lucky.

My EGD is tomorrow...I hope mine goes better than yours...no offense. <IMG class=bbc_emoticon alt= src="http://cdn.verticalsleevetalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif">
