I am following this, as my surgery is the 26th. I also feel kind of alone with this. My husband knows but no one else does. And as wonderful as my husband is.... well..... I am afraid that his eating habits are sort of what brought me here. I know no one can MAKE you do anything you don't want to, but i have without thinking about it, just assumed his eating habits over the years. I just came to the realization that OMG I am the ONLY ONE that will be helping MYSELF eat right and get right mentally with this. Can I do it? I HAVE to. Also, my son starts kindergarten the week of my surgery.... does anyone know when they could drive after surgery? How many days/weeks?
