5 Days Post Op && First Day Without Thinking About Food!

Finally! I live in a full house so something's always being cooked or bought for the kiddies. The first day i came home from the hospital mom made some jambalaya and corn and I was just about ready to hang myself (not literally) I didn't know how I was going to make it through the day. The food commercials weren't making it any better. I would wake up each day thinking about the food I'll be able to have in the upcoming months, regardless how small. Needless to say I was sending myself in a mild depression because I missed eating regular food. I thought I was going to always feel that way until this morning. Moms is in the kitchen making breakfast right now & it's not phasing me one bit. I'm quite proud of myself! I hope I can maintain this attitude!! *fingers crossed*

I know what you went through! Even though I don't feel hunger (yet, or any more!) my mom stayed with me after surgery until this morning. My first few days home, she's making pork roast with gravy, etc. Then 2 days later I wake from a nap smelling my childhood favorite, corn fritters! Really, Mom?!?! I was a little mad because it was my favorite and my girls weren't going to like them-they eat very light. Fried foods, except chicken, doesn't appeal to them. She overheard me tell my sister on the phone that I thought it was kind of insensitive for her to be frying up a batch of fritters, so she went on a cooking strike for a few days (too funny! Like I cared-I was on liquids!-lol!)
