six days since surgery

[patsgoal2010]

I am six days out of surgery. experiencing emotional meltdown this morning, crying etc. Is it food withdrawal and dependence on food for emotional support?

Hi,
I am sorry to hear you are feeling down. After any surgery you can have a period of time when you get the blues alot of it is just the body dealing with all the changes. Hang in there and I am sure it will get better ! If not call your Dr. and let them know what is going on so they can help I go in on friday, so I hope that all goes well

I was like that for about 2 weeks. My dr told me it's common to go thru that because your body is going thru some rapid changes

I can only imagine & am prepared for it, so hopefully I'll be ok.
I was thinking about it today as I was eating a Beef taco.

Ahhh a beef taco, ohhhh I sooo miss my beef but it will be here before I know it and probably my luck my body wont tolerate it. I just found out I think my body doesnt like bananas anymore, I had a couple bites and now feel really sick

That would suck!
I'm already missing red meat & I'm still eating it.

I just found out I think my body doesnt like bananas anymore, I had a couple bites and now feel really sick

That's gotta suck!
I've been warned about how our taste is likely to change from what we like now days...

Pat, I was just a few days out of my surgery last week, and was watching a TV show where a huge family gathered around the table for Christmas dinner. There was turkey and all the trimmings, and wine, and elegant deserts. The family cheered when the deserts were brought out, and I just started crying. I don't know if it's that I was mourning my departure from huge celebration feasts, or the fact that I won't have a big family around my house this holiday...probably some of both. My son is in the Marines and hasn't been home for Christmas in 7 years, so you'd think I'd be used to that. My stepson will be here, and my stepdaughter will breeze through for about an hour. So I think I was just really suddenly realizing that I will never "Feast" again. 4 oz. of food may be adequate, but it will never be a feast. And I hate all these TV shows and such that keep promoting that Norman Rockwell scene of family holidays...it's so rarely like that. Those people who do have it should feel truly blessed. Anyway, I have been told that it's perfectly OK to mourn the end of our love affairs with food. Wonder how long this will continue?
