I want to eat food!

Sep 17, 2012

I think it is all in my head!  I am just one week out from my surgery and still have two weeks to go on the liquid diet before I can start three weeks of mushy foods. 

I don't really feel the hunger in my stomach, but I want to eat food. 
I never realized before how much of this battle is psychological.  It amazes me.  I am perfectly satisfied with my protien shakes, broth, jello and sugar-free popsicles - but when my kids are eating Stroganoff, Lasagna or BBQ....it gets to me.  It does help, and I am so very thankful that I haven't had to cook for them.  I have the greatest sister in the world that has been cooking a little extra and sending leftovers to my house.  I think my kids prefer her cooking anyway...LOL.

I'm sure I will get through this.  I wish there was some quick fix to make it not happen.
