18 days post-op and even though I can't all I want to do is eat!

I had my surgery on Jan.15th, have lost 18 lbs and now in the soft foods stage of my diet. I'm doing well with eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, chicken salad, etc. However, every meal my husband and children eat, I find myself craving it. To get my mind off of it, I take just one or two small bites of whatever they are having to get that "fix." Is this normal? I know I can't physically eat what they are having, but the temptation is over powering. I just want that bite. Is this a sign that I will fall backwards?
