My wife brought up an interesting point yesterday. My wife woke up extra early yesterday and prompted me to get up so we can go to breakfast. I looked at her as if she was crazy and she quickly realized what she was asking me. I am about to have my sleeve on the 8th so I have been on a pre-op liquid diet for about 1 week and two days. She decided to hit Dillards and catch an early morning sale. When she returned she pointed out that our relationship is going to go through a huge shift. I asked why and she went on to remind me that food has really been the center of all our communication.
We typically have family at the house (live in Florida and most of our family are from NYC) and when she and I need to talk and make some decisions, we typically do it during breakfast, lunch or dinner and most of the time that it outside the house. I guess she wanted to discuss somethings during breakfast. That was an eye opening moment for me because she was absolutely right. We talked about it and decided that we will now do other things like perhaps head down to the promenade in my town and walk or go to a park and sit and enjoy nature and talk.
I just wanted to mention that here because some much of what I read is about our individual experience. I yet to come across a post reflecting on the day to day with our loved ones.
