Hard Day

So here I sit journaling. I am pissed off at my family! My mother came to help me out with the kiddos since my husband works all the time, and also to help get things ready for the holidays. I have a bunch of family coming. My house has seem to have gotten real messy, dishes and so on and it SURELY isn't me using the dishes!!!! Hmmmm tonight they want to order pizza from Pizza Hut. Man that sure sounds good. In all reality I was banded on Monday and it hasn't been a week and yeah at this point and time that sounds really darn good! Well the way I am thinking about this is, my mother is an alcoholic who just successfully completed rehab in November. Shall I sit and drink some alcohol in front of her to see if she can hack it? GRRRRRRRR :help: I am trying real hard for no soda and no junk food and have made it thus far, I am however real tired of chicken broth and beef broth and you know... the same ol bland pureed stuff!!!!! Grrrr I don't know.... I am just real frustrated today I guess. I know I CAN do this... I wonder if it will get easier....

your family has a right to eat and enjoy food. its funny that you're going through this. my friend went through the pizza hut thing right after gastric bypass - i mean she was still in the hospital - her husband and mom bought pizza back to her room! she thought it was insensitive too. but like it or not - the family is not banded and has no restrictions. i'm sure it would help is they only ate bland odorless food until you were able to eat again - but let;s face it - that's just not realistic.

Just keep in mind that all of the anger is slowing you up...you no doubt did this surgery for you....think of YOU ! I dont know you, but I have faith in the fact that you can do this....I am only on day one after surg and I am SURE i can do this !
