I'm not normally a stress eater but my mom is in ICU, recovering heart surgery. I've attempted to get in protein and fluid but just to punish myself I threw in cookies and pretzels.

Steeling myself for the well deserved ass kicking...GO...

Kim I'm so sorry. My heart is breaking for you. My mom passed away 4 years ago due to heart issues, also. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

@@kimpossible67 My deepest condolences. I lost my mom after a very brief illness back in 2003. There are no words to describe what you are feeling, but just know I know how you feel. Do not stress anything but feel your feelings and go through your emotions, it is best. The rest can wait and will all be there when you are ready to tackle it again.

@kindle- I want to offer my condolences to you too. I am so sorry for your loss, and for whatever your dear friend suffered through to lead him to such a desperate place. Again, as I advised above, feel your feelings then deal with the rest. ( food & eating issues)

I am so sorry for the passing of your mom and prayers to you and your family. ????????
