Thank you! We're still young and don't have kids yet' date=' so it's just the two of us. I definitely don't want to push her away or be pushed away - which we both agree on. The "stupid" divorce rates are very concerning to me, and I don't want to become a part of the statistic. Hopefully we'll be able to communicate our feelings and concerns throughout all of this. That's a really good point! I honestly felt a little alianated from her the first couple of days, but the drugs in her system might have something to do with that. That and the fact that I was kind of scared out of my mind and very worried. Not to mention the physical and mental exhaustion she was going through! We're both learning a lot about healthier eating and living, so I don't think the lifestyle changes in the food department is going to be a problem. Well, apart from my addiction to a little sweet now and then. Alternatives to that won't be a problem, though, as we're prepared to alter our current ideals and thought-processes in regards of "Saturday-sweets". Everything is however so much easier to say, than to do. I know. I'm trying to be helpful in the kitchen, making meals and keeping an eye on her Protein and Fluid intake. Looking forward to giving her something else than fluids, though - hopefully without the dumping syndrome. So far, so good! Thank you all for the replies, I really appreciate it. I know I can't feel what she feels, but at least I can try to understand and be as supportive and helpful as possible.

Yes, I've heard and read a lot about the statistics, not very uplifting, but I will indeed try my very best. Thank you!

Hi! I just found this app, and it's been very-very helpful! My wife is 3 days post op, and I'm wondering how I can make things easier for her. Do you guys have any advice or suggestions? I want to make this transition into our new life as comfortable as possible, and since a lot of you guys have been through this, I thought you would be perfect to ask. Thank you so much!
