Hi all, my name is Dustin, I'm from New Mexico and I'm in my 3rd week post-op. My wife has tried to get me to join one of these groups and I've been pretty stub or about it until now. I've read some stories about how difficult post-op was/is for people and that hasn't been my experience. I've had zero trouble getting my protein and my liquid in daily, and I've only felt like it was too much one or two times. The trouble I'm having is all mental I think
I'm a recovering alcoholic/drug addict. When I got sober I leaned on food to get me through. I was 309lbs at my heaviest. I had my surgery when I was 270lbs. I think because of my addictive personality all I do is think about what I can't have, and it's making me crazy. My wife still has to eat and I always leave the room or the house so I don't have to smell it. I'm hoping this will pass as I will be able to eat soft foods pretty soon. Has anyone else had this problem? My wife is proud that I followed through with my decision to have the surgery but I've been nothing but miserable, which in turn makes her feel bad. Any and all advice is welcome.
