I accidentally swallowed a large piece of food. Am I doomed?

I"m 7 1/2 weeks post-op from distal RNY. My husband brought home a calzone with a deep-fried pastry-like crust (I know, I know). The filling consisted of the ricotta cheese and ham. I begged him for a taste; I just HAD to have a taste. IT WAS SO GOOD!!! I had one of those way before my surgery, but it never tasted THIS good! __Anyway, I ended up taking 3 mouthfulls, but with the first one, I accidentally gulped down a large piece. I chewed to liquid the rest of it. What will happen now? Will it break down in my stomach or will it sit there indefinitly & block the stoma? OR will it be able to pass thru the stoma whole? A few hours after swallowing it, when I went to bed, I felt some sharp stabs of pain in my pouch area, and then that was it; no more pain (so far). Could that have been the food passing thru (I hope!)? I know I should not have eaten it in the first place, but it was too tempting. I told my husband to NOT bring stuff like that in the house. I've been telling him over & over, and he keeps on doing it. Cookies, chips, cakes, icecream, etc. (btw, he's morbid obese & in denial) I'm really beginnig to hate him because it's like he doesn't want me to succeed. Why is he doing this to me? And if I go & throw the bad food in the trash, then I'm a bitch and all kinds of other bad names. I really have no fighting chance with him constantly sabotaging my post-op diet. It's hard enough dealing with myself - my cravings (yes I"m taking my protein but sometimes I get "breakthrough" cravings) and my food demons. But then he comes along with all the delicious no-no's and it's like "the straw that broke the camel's back". You need super-human strength to resist caving in & binging. I say to him, if you HAVE TO have it, then go out somewhere & have it, but not in the house in front of me. He seems to resent that. ___Hah! I guess my original question evolved into more! _____Please, can someone tell me that everything will be OK with that accidental gulp I took. And how do I deal with my husband who seems to REFUSE to help me stay on the program.
