This is an excellent post and I totally relate to everything you wrote!

I can relate to your post. I try to stay positive most days, or just ignore my emotions. I literally miss food and find myself listing all the things I want to eat. I feel like I think about food way more than I used to also.
One thing that has helped me is that I kept a reminder on my phone for my weekly shot for diabetes. I no longer need the shot or any other meds as my diabetes is gone. That is a success for me and helps me re-focus on the reasons I made the decision to have surgery.
Maybe try to find small successes, because this journey can be challenging. I wish you the best!

I understand where you are coming from as my husband is very, very similar! I am a very independent woman and he loves to take care of me, which isn't needed very often.
I try and let him take care of me but it does get hard, especially now that I am two weeks out from surgery and doing well.
It's all done in love so I'm just letting him dote on me. I go back to work tomorrow and then I'll be taking care of myself for most of the day.

Most excellent progress!! I may need to find a hydro-therapy near me! I love all Water spa type treatments.
Keep up the great work!

I've been a lot about this topic and what my comeback will be to people. And here is how I'm going to try to handle it: "I feel great, thanks for noticing" and then ask them a question to quickly change the subject.
