Went to big family dinner armed with a can of chicken broth and some chicken Soup flavored Protein powder. When I got there everything smelled so good that I thought I had made a mistake in going. Once I started with the broth I wasn't even tempted! I did however, bring home a slice of pumpkin pie and pecan pie to put in the freezer for when I can start eating again.

Great job restraining yourself. I totally caved and had a bite of homemade macaroni and cheese (the dish I was requested to prepare)

I'm still pre-op (surgery on 12/10) I made it through fixing the meal with no problems. I even made it through the eating of the meal (I had a half cup of green beans and a protein shake). It was afterwards that I ran into problems. I walked into the kitchen to clean up afterwards and just turned around and walked back out. Told my husband that I just couldn't handle all that food. He had everyone fix a plate of leftovers to put in the fridge for dinner and then proceeded to put up the rest of the food and then washed all the dishes! I really love that man! ????
