It is so nice you started this thread. There are alot of women that will benefit from this topic. The part about eating? I know EXACTLY what you mean! My dh is in the hospital, when I was driving home, I stopped and got a foot long and ate ALL of it - then I walked in the house and fixed a milkshake, ate a candy bar, made some nachos - and did NOT feel in the least full - 'just needed the "comfort" of eating. Good luck - we will be thinking/praying for your "recovery"
