Pre-op and family dinners SOS
on 4/29/17 11:37 am
Hi,
My son and father in law are visiting, and I always make a nice dinner for all of us. I am day 9 pre-op liquid diet. And still haven't cheated. But, the problem is that I'm not telling them, or anyone outside 3 people and husband, that I'm having this surgery. So what do you say when dinner is served and you don't sit down and eat with them? Help.....

Just say, My stomach is a little upset right now, I'll eat later. Or I'm fasting for a medical test for 18 hours, or the amount of time that fits. If you don't want to lie, just realize your stomach will probably be upset about not eating.

I guess it depends on how much of a lie you want to tell?
I'm not feeling super hungry right now.
I'm a bit tired so I think I'm going to take a nap.
I'm happy to sit with you all, but I'm not feeling super hungry so I'm not going to eat.
I have [insert illness here] and don't want to eat.

I would be rethinking my secrets. That's going to be hard to conceal, and how will they feel when they find out later? Trust me...they will find out, and they will react to you not sharing this huge thing in your life.
