We are going to a birthday party at my sister-in-laws today. I told her about the surgery and let her know that I won't be eating anything at the party because I was on an all liquid diet and she freaked. "You HAVE to eat something! You can't not eat anything that is ridiculous, your doctor is crazy! I will make you a salad and have some fruit for you!" I politely told her not to do that because I could not eat, and I would not eat. She replied, "Well just in case, I am going to grill some chicken breasts for you. No one should go without food for 14 days! That is unheard of!" *SIGH* It's going to be an interesting party!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh wow that was hard! I hope you had a nice time even though she didn't underdstand. GOOD FOR YOU for sticking to your guns and not letting in to her pleas. You and i are both sleaved next week and it's going to be a rough few days but we can do it!!

Hang in there and hope you can enjoy the rest of the visit. I often think ppl don' t listen to what we say, they hear only the words that they want to. Good luck next week, I'm getting sleeved on Monday, so we get to start the month off on a new way of living.
