Just remember this, it's only food, and you WILL be able to eat again. A friend had the surgery before me (Aug. 29th, ) and I had her mantra in my head. "You WILL be able to eat again." I'm down 30 lbs and going for my first fill next week. Soooo,chin up, it's only food! If your husband is eating Big Mac's in front of you, remove yourself from that situation. Clean house, walk outside, go shopping, do anything but sit and gawk at his Calorific Mc Donald's attack. It can't do ya any good. Best of luck, we've all been there one time or another.
