Cookouts and Rude Comments
May 29, 2010
I am in my second week so I am just starting to try small bits of soft foods to see what I can and cannot eat. I am finding that there are alot of cookouts I am being invited to and very little I can eat at them, but yesterday there was some watermelon and I figured it was mostly water and soft enough to chew to a soft consistency so I could swallow so I had about 5 small pieces. It went down well and I enjoyed having something to munch one while everyone else was eating ribs and cookies, but I felt like the whole time I ate my mother was watching me. So then last night my husband made some soup just lipton noodle didn't have any chunks of anything in so I took a few bites it was mushy and it went down really well. Today is my birthday so my mom called me up to say happy birthday and I told her I was excited because Brian was going to make me an egg for breakfast and she goes "you shouldn't eat that it's gonna stretch your stomach just like this girl Birtha I work with, she ate right through her stomach and now is fatter than she ever was". It just hurt my feelings. I felt 1. guilty that I am excited about eating an egg and 2. devistated that my mother felt the need to tell me that. Some people are just not supportive at all and its starting to take a toll on me. I feel like it is just going to get worse as I start to eat everyone is going to watch what I AM eating and that is going to be hard to get through. I do not like it when people chime in about something that I feel is a personal experience and it really hurts my feelings. How is everyone else dealing with this?On a side note I have noticed that I have like sonic sense of smell since I have been on liquids for a month. Anyone else notice that they can smell foods from like a mile away now. It's almost weird.
