Food porn?

Had a bunch of family and friends over tonight. Rib eyes, shrimp, a potato, onion and mushroom dish all on the grill. My wife did broccoli balls in the oven. Of course I can't have any of it. I had broth and that's ok. At 4 weeks out I can have normal foods.

I did realize that watchin them eat is like going to a strip club, no matter how much ya wanna, ya ain't gonna get any!

Agreed, watching commercials are like watching Cinemax now, it will be better when I can have something other than Protein drinks and Water

I found watching the food network almost therapeutic in those early days.

I can totally relate. I literally came home from the hospital to my mother in law cooking for three straight days to "make me feel better". She is an 80 year old, size 2 Dynamo who just doesn't get it.

I've also, at less than 2 weeks out, had two birthday parties in my house - and have already gone out to dinner (I had like three spoonfuls of the broth from French onion soup). And I went to a dinner party 5 days after surgery at a friends house.

You know I never really thought about how much of my life revolved around food until I wrote that out.

Anyhow it hasn't been that bad- I find the aftermath harder to deal with - when the leftovers are here and the people are gone - but I just remind myself that it's in my head and I'm doing alright.
