I'm not married, but I did stay with my mom and stepdad during my recovery. I found that just having someone there was sooooo important. My mom in particular was really great with letting me talk and talk about all my thoughts/feelings/going over and over about my "new life" and food details and how I felt and on and on. She also went on my little walks with me which helped me get in that habit. She walked as slow as I did and gave me lots of encouragement. She also took a few days off work when I was first post-op. I had a lot of pain in those first days so she was great about doing little things for me like laundry so I didn't have to lift stuff, but also letting me get up and walk around to get my own water so I didn't just sit. My family also felt awkward about eating "real food" around me, and that was a bit hard and strange, but it's something we have to get used to, so just be prepared for that awkwardness. You will be able to eat fairly normally again someday so remember it's not forever, but the first few months are key to getting into good food habits. It sounds like your hubby will be a great support for you so feel lucky about that, and then when you're feeling better maybe you can do something really nice for him!
