Anyone else getting angry?

I'm getting there. Right now, it's not so much angry as it is resentful. I'm cooking for the family tonight (the first 'real' meal they've had since my surgery) and it's smelled SOOOOO good all day. I'm making crockpot chicken n noodles and mashed potatoes... Seeing as how I'm on full liquids, I get the mashed potatoes.... I seem to be ultra-sensative to what, when and how much everyone around me is eating. My husband is the worst, I watched him scarf down a TON of chips like he hadn't eaten in months! It made me kind of bitter, but it was also kind of gross to watch. I haven't REALLY felt like I was missing out tonight. It's hard to ignore a chicken slow-cooking all day long... But, I, just like you, know that this is part of the initiation and like it does for 99.99999999% of everyone else, we will get through it and be happier, healthier and stronger for it.

Hi Tom: Funny, I found myself being jealous that you were on mushroom soup already !!!! I'm 3 days out and find that my family can eat whatever they want .... I chose to do this to save my life. All those foods I may soon be missing were the very things that were ruining my health. I know I'll be able to eat whatever I want eventually...just much smaller amounts. You're not giving up your eating...just changing the way you handle it. You can do this, Tom !!!!!!!!!! Jean Lap RNY 5/24/05

Eating without everyone else is seems normal for me. I was on the atkins diet several times ( and lost 85lbs ) So I got used to seeing the family eat things that I knew I could not eat. What makes me angry is the fact that I had worked so hard and still had to go thru this surgery ( to prevent the diabetes that is prevalent in my family.. ). But my husband still lets my children (also genetically prone to diabetes ) drink real sugar sodas and eat junk food at 9pm. I feel so helpless. No one listens to me about the seriousness of this kind of behavior. I am angry because I don't want my children to go thru this.
