I was doing well until today...

 I was doing really well until today. Now, I'm mourning food again. We have some things planned in the next few weeks, and I can't have any of the food. They're not things that I would bring my own food to, so I just won't be able to partake. It just makes me upset that I can't be "normal". I knew all of this going into surgery, and I was prepared to make those changes.

I'm just having a moment, so I know it will pass. :(

I know how you are feeling. Right now I am frustrated and having buyers regret.

Yup, right there with you both..I've been feeling some of the same.

....I'm four days out. smells good but I knw it would hurt so I dont really want it but I wont lie it smells gooooood...one day at a time ladies

It's all temporary ... eventually you will be able to eat most everything - you will have to learn moderation (and/or what makes you sick).  You will go through a grieving period but like you say, this too shall pass :)   Your life will be so much better a year from surgery that food will take a back seat.  Although from time to time you will get annoyed with the surgery .. for instance my friends asked me to dinner the other night at a very expensive restaurant and I didn't go (well, I did have support group that night) but I thought to myself 'what a waste, I can't eat all that food'  and leftovers just aren't that easy to eat sometimes. This particular restaurant has a limited menu and no appetizers to speak of.  Glad I had support group!  

 I hear ya!  Today is my hubby's 40th birthday.  His aunt & uncle came up to visit and brought dessert for the three of them.  We made a dinner friendly to my diet needs, but then when dessert came out I just sat there while the three of them ate these yummy looking french pastries.  I tried really hard not to think about it, but it was difficult!
