It's not all sunshine and rainbows!!

I am luckier than some of you.  I live alone and don't have to cook for people.  I do prepare food for my daughter's family from time to time...but it bothers me less and less.  My RNY was Jan 22.  I had a party for my son yesterday, for which I prepared a lot of food.  Much of it with cheese that I can no longer tolerate. I found myself feeling strange at the party because I really could not eat.  I ate two bites of a very soft meatball and, and a few nibbles of a chip, and that was all.  Just looking at all that food made me nauseous.  Food is social lubrication for me, and without it I am awkward.  I did have a small taste of lemon pie.  It was good, but did not make me want to eat more. 

Right now, eating is not pleasant, but I suspect it will get better.

I had a rather seductive McDonald's dream last night. LOL.  But even now I know I can't handle the carbs at all. Just knowing what it feels like to eat too much of the wrong thing...*shudder*

It's not easy, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy.

I feel a bit sad sometimes too, but I keep my eyes on the prize, and the reward of being the healthy, glowing person I always dreamed of is sweeter than any snack.

Hi,

As everyone has said this is normal and hang in there. It will get better
