This thread would have really helped me out in those 1st 2 1/2 weeks. I remember on my 2 week post op check up, I told the doctor, "Take it out! I swear I will go to the gym every day and I will eat healthy! Please take it out!" I felt so bad for me because he knew how much depression I was going through for my food. I could barely understand myself when I was talking because I was crying so bad. I cried every day and I too gave my husband some nasty glares as he was eating. And I even got into a heated argument with him because now all of a sudden he starts eating all healthy and going to the gym. I was so angry because He didn't do that while I was on Jenny Craig, weight watchers, La weight loss, Herbalife, Atkins,etc. So why now?! I could have used that support then and maybe not had to do this. However, I FEEL BETTER NOW. I express to you my anger and my depression, because I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH! And it wasn't just the food, I started worrying about something going wrong with the band and started getting paranoid. But now, I am eating anything and everything, as long as I am still hungry. And I have preoccupied myself with my photo albums, playing more with my kids, writing in my journal, reading and writing to this support group, and it has helped tremendously! You WILL feel better. I promise! And ask anyone here who has read my advise, it means a lot comming from me because I had nothing good to say about the band at first.
