I want to CHEW (Rant)
RNY on 02/06/12
This liquid diet is starting to make me crazy!
I had to do a "relaxed" liquid diet for 2 weeks before my surgery. Now I have a full liquid diet for two weeks after the surgery. The shakes/soups in and of themselves don't bother me... it's the fact that my diet is 100% lquid! I miss chewing so much! It's gotten so bad, that I'm counting the minutes to when I'll take my next vitamin.
Don't get me started on my family. I knew that they'd eat around me, and I was fine... until my sister (who could eat 12 cows and NEVER gain an ounce) brought home a HUGE sandwich from my favorite sandwich place ever and started to chow down. Meanwhile, I'm sipping on chicken broth. Grr!!
Can't wait for the purred stage!! I already have my meals planned out for those two weeks.
Don't worry, I won't go crazy and eat everything in the fridge. I'll get over this. I just wanted to vent.
End Rant.

Hang in there --- this is the toughest time.
Wasn't a problem for me but could you chew some shaved ice (sno cone ice) or even a sugar free popsicle. I usually end up biting those anyway.
You know, I'm single and live alone but I can't imagine, particularly family, not being sensitive to a loved one trying to make a positive in their life. I know everyone doesn't have to change to accomodate us but I just think it's rude on their part. Sorry you have to go through that.
Stay tough.
