Tomorrow I'm going to my best friends house to watch Monday night foot ball. I will be 13 days post op. my doctor won't let me start even mushy foods till day 14, and that may not even be Tuesday since I started shakes late because I had a rough first few days. I know pizza will be there. Pizza is my krytonite. I love it I ate it a few times a week pre op. I'm terrified. I don't want to not go because of a silly food and I miss seeing her. I am so scared I may break down and have a bite of pizza. I'm worried it will make me sick. I don't know I just thought I would post this since I can't talk to my friends or family about this because they would find it crazy! I know deep down this is crazy!!

It's not crazy and your not crazy!! Totally reasonable fear. The thing is people who havent gone through this process just cant relate as well as those who have I wish you lots of strength tomorrow. Ive read lots of favorite foods before the surgery never taste as good afterwards. Not sure if its true or not but its a nice thought!!! (((hug)))

Go enjoy yourself. Take you a couple of rtd protien shakes and you will do great. You have to start sometime retraining yourself about food and social activities. I have faith you can do it. Heck today i was at a "breastaurant" watching games. I ate 5 lemon pepper wings. 3 months ago that would have been 20 with mozzarella sticks, and apple turnovers with ice cream for dessert. If i can only eat 5 wings you can resist that nasty pizza.

Yep, take something healthy with you so you won't be hungry.

If you really truly think you can't say no to the pizza right now, then don't go. It's ok to say you're still recovering and not up for it. I avoided those situations for 3 weeks and it really helped me. You have to e our own best advocate and that means knowing your limits right now.

Thanks guys, I decided to go because I miss my best friend so much. I decided to just bring some jello. She and her husband are the only 2 there that know I have had the surgery and I'm really not in the mood to talk about it with everyone else so I'm just going to tell them my stomach is upset so I don't feel like eating. I really appreciate the support

That totally works!! You aren't lying. Your sromach IS a little 'off.'. :-).

Have fun!!
