Smelling food makes me hungry!!!

I think deep down he does not want me to lose weight. Our relationship has never been easy, to say the least. A lot of the time I feel like I'm just his roommate... but I guess I'm getting a little too deep now. He has said on a number of occassions that I'm going to leave him if I'm thin. I just tell him that if I wanted to leave him, I would have done it already. My fat isn't keeping me with him.

unfortunately if a relationship isn't strong going in, it usually only gets worse. one other thing that happens is the person who decided to get healthy doesn't want to be with the person who is not trying to be healthy anymore. that was the connection that was held. in my case, my relationship was very unstable before surgery and i do not think surgery really had much to do with it ending. he is a skinny guy who eats to live, not the other way around. he was happy for me. it was just other stuff. we are still friends and i think he partly thinks things will still work out. who knows, maybe they will. but one thing is for sure, I won't stay in a relationship to jeopardizes my health, and this one was. i sure hope you guys work it out. tell him to get his butt on board and stop being a baby LOL.

Honestly, I have not felt physically hungry since the day before surgery - 6 weeks ago.  I haven't experienced head hunger yet.  Most times, the smell of food makes me a bit nauseous, and most times, I still have to force myself to eat.  That's finally easing up a bit, but I still have what my surgeon and NUT call food aversion. 

I baked a ton on Saturday and didn't want any of it.  I made myself some SF cookies, but even they didn't sit well.

Sorry you are struggling with it. 

Food smells is a "Brain game" for me. I fight it by getting away from the smell for awhile. 
I tried a slice of pizza from the Fells Point pizza  shop.  I = 2 down there.  Went home and plugged it into my daily plate.  It blew the carbs and calorie count for the rest of the day.  Some sacrafice.

My Daily Plate helps me make better food choices.  I'am not going back to "Fat" land

 

Lisa,

I went through this myself.  I remember staying upstairs in my bedroom when my husband would cook for the children early out from having surgery.  I remember crying one time and saying to myself... Why the hell did I have this surgery for? Then the commercials were only of food..lol I swear I thought everyone had it out for me. It was really hard but I would have a few s/f Popsicle and fudgesicles.

But since I loved shrimp and crab I made sure to always have that in the house and when he cooked something that smelled great I made my favorite food to eat and that really helped me.

It will get easier for you with time.  Just remember why you had this surgery.  It wasn't just to be skinny it was to be healthy for the sake of your precious baby. 

Also as for your hubby he really does not understand what you are going through. But one day just sit down and have a talk with him just to let him know how you feel.  I remember sitting down and thinking I chose this path and I don't expect to put my kids through a rough patch because of me.  So they ate everything they always ate and my husband did too. 
Gino would try to take the kids out for pizza or McDonald's instead of bringing it home to help me out. But of course that was not feasible all the time.    I promise you it does get better!!!

Big hugs to you!!!
