Your support and My support .. two different things

:thumbup: So I know you are all thinking you are trying to help me by not eating in front of me in the living room.. or sneaking upstairs with your take out food.. or staying in the kitchen.. And i know you think this is being so supportive.. just like my online friends in my game where we chat live on headset and you can say all day how proud you are and how you are here for me .. blah blah blah.. BUT you all really have no F**in Idea ! Supporting me while your eating your subs in the kitchen is nice and all but how bout just STAY AT THE GOD DAMN SUBSHOP AND EAT IT THERE.. .. and Yes i now you live out in texas and we only chat live on headset.. and you can say your supporting me in my success but why do you feel the F**in need to sit here live on your microphone and eat chips and cookies and with your mouth open for christs sakes! O O and then tell me how you only had a ham and cheese sandwich and cookie for lunch and thats not enough for u .. Oh OR.. how my husband who thinks he's the most supportive not eating in front of me or getting take out that I lOVE.. feels it's ok to cook and entire chicken F**in dinner in my small ass house with all the fixins so i can smell it all day. because it just would't be fair to the kids who are 21 and 14 to have sandwiches and soup for a while.. O O.. and how he can't believe i got mad because he sat next to me on the couch with a jar of peanuts to watch tv with me.. R YA KIDDIN ME!! I believe i can live without all of your great support.. Damnit people i havn't had a bit of food other then .. Broth/jello/or instant breakfast mix for 3 F**n weeks and another full week to go before i'm allowed to eat scrambled EGGs.. Can we just get a clue and not wonder why i'm a lil bitchy lately.. Wheeeew.. OK i think thats out now :smile: I think i'm ok now for another week .. Thanks for letting me vent.. sorry for the foul thoghts LOL

    I certainly feel your pain. I have 4 more days to surgery and I want to eat so badly. I was ok til tonight. Weekends are when we love to go out to eat. It means a lot to have support from friends and family, but nothing is like this forum. It is really great to read the same things that I'm thinking. My husband has been great tho. Bless his heart, he's eaten sandwiches ever since day one of this pre op. I sure will be happy when I can eat something again, and at this point, I don't really care if it looks like baby food.

    Did you discuss HOW they (the Family) could support you with food habits before you had the surgery? If not, then I know you want to blame someone, but is it really fair to blame them??? I understand how frustrating it can be. I usually just get up and go take a shower while my husband has food he likes and knows it will temp me or that I can't have it. I don't resent them for it, I am the one who has the eating disorder and the weight problem. I am the one who made this decision, and I did it for ME and I still do it for ME and no one else. They probably don't care (family) if you did this or not, they will be proud of you eventually so just stick to the plan and go with it, YOU will be happy in the end! Trust me, I am praying for you to heal and feel better in your spirit. and that your family will learn what to do and how to understand where you are right now.
