REAL TALK!!!

Apr 23, 2010

OK, I am 17 days out from surgery on Phase 3, pureed foods. I was so excited about making me some chicken salad (chicken, FF mayo, boiled egg in a food processor) until it happened.  WHAT? I am glad you asked. My little 19 year old niece who lives with me and is tall and thin decided she wanted Rotel dip with sausage. So why this little girl sat across from me and said "Wow, I put my foot in this, if I have to say so myself." I just looked at her. Then she said... "How did you enjoy your chicken salad?" How the heck does she think I enjoyed it while smelling sausage and looking and hearing  her enjoy a big plate of chips and Rotel. ......  I wanted to ask her how would she enjoy chewing on a shoe while I ate a big meat lovers pizza in front of her.

On the real... I want her to be herself and enjoy the foods that she can eat, but am I wrong for asking her not to eat them in front of me?

How do you handle your family eating whatever and you can't eat those things anymore? PLEASE help before I snap.
