Guilty eating in front of signifcant other

Help!!!! my finace just had surgery on Jan 9, and I feel so guilty eating in front of him. We both started the process to have surgery but his went through a lot quicker than mine so now he has had surgery and Im still waiting. He is still on liquids right now and I realize I still need to eat but I just feel so guilty siting down eating in front of him. For the past few days I have been leaving th house grabbing something to eat while Im out to prevent eating in front of him. I discussed it with him yesterday and he is like its ok if I eat in front of him but I still cant seem to do it. I just want to be very supportive and I ont want to make this journey any more difficult than it already is. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you handle it?

I felt the same way when my wife had WLS. She actually got mad at me one day for not eating in front of her! She told me it was more therapeutic for her for me to eat a meal in the same room as her rather than me being separated or leave the house. Within a few days things were back to normal and she's even back to cooking for me and my daughter. I guess my suggestion is to just ask him what will be most beneficial to him and just do it. Right now it's all about him, since he's the one that really has it rough. Good luck!

If that is the only issue through this surgery you encounter, truly count your blessings. My and many other patients get divorces because I guess they are cuter now & they can do better. Good luck & if that is all that arises you'll be happy.

I love watching people eat now.  Sick hunh? LOL!  Watching people eat & cook!  It's like porn for WLS people!   I think I've turned into a 'feeder'! 
So it truly may not bother him at all!

You know my sig other and I sat down and talked last night and she has the same concerns.  Not wanting to eat in front of me after my surgery.  Feeling guilty eating in front of me etc.

I really liked the comment of after WLS watching people eat is like porn it made me laugh.

I think I will tell her that =)
