OMG I am dying! Everyone is eating all this delicious food :-(

How to survive?!?! HELPPPPP

This is the test of your new life. We have to make healthy food choices and watch what we put into our mouths. Good luck and godspeed lol

Stay strong! You worked too hard for this!

I made it guys! I sat throw three hours of eating and drinking. Only sipped Water and had like 3 tablespoons of mashed potatoes!!!

Yay me!

That encouraged me to make it at a dinner next week. I'm only 4 days post op--the struggle of smelling the yummy food is real, but I'm determined to win! Thanks for sharing!

Focus on the company. You'll be surprised at how quickly that becomes your norm.

I refused to go anywhere to eat until I passed the 6 week mark so I applaud your bravery. There are good choices out there you just have to research. The o,ly food I found harder to find a healthy choice at was Mexican.

I went to a restaurant five days post-op for my father-in-law's birthday. I was only drinking diluted juice at that point and I didn't even want to eat. The food didn't tempt me. Now, at almost four months out, that's not the case when I go out to eat, but I usually manage to make healthy choices. Glad you toughed it out!

I'm 1 month out and had an industry sponsored lunch to attend today--catered by Olive Garden. Surrounded by carbs, I just ate the lunch I had packed for myself and no one questioned it. Feeling proud that I "passed" the 1st test!

Proud of us all!! We can do it :-)

I went out to Breakfast with friends and DH about 10 days after surgery. I brought my caffeine free tea bags and my little container of Jello. No big deal.

I was cooking meals for hubby while I was home for the 2 weeks after surgery. All stuff a couldn't eat. I actually was fine with it. I think DH originally felt guilty with me cooking and him eating in front of me. I figured I just needed to get used to it. I like to cook and it gave me something to do while I was home and not working. He is a picky eater so it is pretty common for me to make something for him and something different for me. I like fish, meat, fruit and lots of veggies. He is meat and potatoes. I will make him a carb side like mac and cheese or a noodle pack but will sometime leave it on the counter rather at the table. He then needs to package the left overs. It keeps me from picking at and stealing a bite or two.
