You need that! Maybe the reason the OB says no nookie is to keep you from going postal on your hubby if he doesn't do it quite right :

That hormone thing coming off the P does suck. You'll get through it though

PS, H offering the ice cream was a real schmuck move. I'm sure he thought he was being kind and appreciative offering. It is an easy mistake to make when he isn't also on the same weight loss regimen. I know I've done the same type of boneheaded thing to Mrs. GGB, only she succumbs and we polish off the half gallon in one sitting. Kudos to you for sticking to your diet! I know you'll be back to your happy shape in no time.
