So frustrated right now! Any suggestions on some good responses or comebacks?

Im staying at my parents pre-surgery since I live out of state (my surgery is monday!). Both my parents keep bringing home food, ice cream, candy and telling me I can have it. I keep telling them I am trying to loose weight but more importantly that I am doing my pre-op diet required by my surgeon. My mom generally responds with "Oh, yea you cant eat food". If I don't eat it the food and my mom notices its still there she keeps reminding me about it and that she got it for me. Its so frustrating. I tried just brushing it off at first but am now getting more direct in my response. Every time I explain my diet and the type of foods I can eat as well as the importance of it. Tomorrow my family is having a BBQ too in honor of me being in town..... I love my family but I just want to make it through my surgery so I can go back to my home. If I had extra money I would stay in a hotel but I don't. Both my parents are severely over weight and have been my entire life. I realize that some of this might be from their own insecurities but I feel so isolated and I really just want them to stop. 

All I can say is.... I hope you aren't staying there post-op. Good luck. 

Nope! My boyfriend is coming into town the day I get discharged and we are getting a hotel. I just need to make it two more days. 

How awful!

Recognize that they are likely scared of the decision you have made because it represents change. They are trying to manipulate you with food and old patterns.

The only way it will stop is if you set boundaries. If your mom says the food is for you and you can do whatever you want with it, put it in the garbage.

Stand your ground. You can do this. 

I like that idea! If it is for me I can do what ever I want with it. Last night I fed some of it to the dogs (-: 

Also, the purpose of the preoperative diet is to shrink your liver and keep you safe during surgery. Tell your mom she is literally putting your life at risk by pushing food on you!

Just say No Thank You.  You are going to be so disappointed if surgery is cancelled due to swelling up your liver.

Take it and put it in the toilet - or someother way to show them you mean business. Even if they spent money on it, it is better in the toilet than in you.  Also, it is debatable if what they are buying you is really food or poison.

You have to stand up for yourself, sooner or later.  Ask them to watch a 600 pound life episode with enablers, then talk to them.  If not, you will end up cutting off your relationship with them to get control of your health.

That is a good idea. I have actually never watched the show but, many people seem to reference it. Maybe we can watch it together and both learn a few things. 

Start by sitting them down at the table...anywhere you have their undivided attention.  Not while they are multi-tasking other things.  My opener is always..."let me be very clear about this", then proceed with the liver shrinkage, surgery requirement, life-changing decision....fill in the blank.  Keep it simple, do not ramble on and finish with "now are you clear with what I am doing?"  Good luck!  My family is a huge factor in my emotional eating.  They seem to forever want to feed me and others.
