How long after surgery before you were ready to recommend it to others?

My PCP had Lap RNY 3 weeks ago and he told me today that he is not yet ready to recommend it. I'm hoping it's just because he hasn't gotten his strength back yet - and he went back to work at 1 week out. He is still on soft foods and missing eating and keeps thinking about not being able to eat sweets again. This has gotten me to thinking since my surgeon's office called today and changed my surgery from July 23 to August 7 - Now I have 2 extra weeks to THINK!! - I've been approved since April 22 - I'm just worried that I'm going to miss food soooo much since I've been eating it for 49 years now and old habits are hard to break. How long does it take to get past that thought and realize you did the right thing - or, do some of you never get to that point?
