This will be quite the challenge. I am definitely a cook and taste kind of cook and tomorrow that will not be possible.

I hope that I can be strong and get through this. I wish one of my sisters would of stepped up and offered to cook the meal. But since my mom passed away in 1999 I have cooked every holiday meal.

I have the motivation, I really don't want to cheat, it;s just that when I get cooking I multi-task and hope that I don't slip.

Oh well, I can only do my best. Will keep my son in the kitchen with me to help a little.

Everyone, have a great Easter.

Well I wish you luck... just stay strong and U can do it. Have a GREAT Easter!

Did you ask if one of them would cook? I know I have a hard time asking for help, even when I really need it.

Good luck tomorrow- you'll do great-- and Happy Easter!

I wish you a lot of strength tomorrow! That will be hard, but if you have your mind made up, you will do great. I have been tempted to have a bite here and there during my liquid diet, but I know one bite leads to two, so I am backing off!

Have a good Easter!

Sending warm thoughts and support today! Hang in there.....:bored:

You can tough it out. I know all about being the cook and being on a diet, its hard but not impossible. Remember you can taste the food , but you dont have to swallow it.

Thanks for all your kind thoughts.

I did ask if anyone else wanted to do it, but there aren't many cooks among my sisters.

I made it through, though - and no problems and no temptations. Too busy cooking and then too busy setting up and then too busy cleaning it all up. Not really the challenge I thought it would be.

I did not sit down at the dinner table thoHappy Easter ugh I just walked around and talked to everyone, It was much easier that way for me.

Less than two weeks until my surgery. Can't believe it, time is flying.

Happy Easter to everyone.
