Am I being sensitive?

[HoneyBrown 0]

Okay my friend invited some people over for a dinner that she was cooking. After she had invited them she asked me would that offend me. She already invited them and because she did I would look like a witch if i said no. Now I'm smelling all this food, and I can't eat anything until 5 days from now which I am going to the mushy food phase. I am going over to my friend house so I won't have to smell this food:cursing:. I am starting to feel like I'm not strong. I am really trying guys, I have done exactly what the doc wants. I just come up here for motivation, because I know why I chose the lapband and yes I realize it's only 5 more days of liquids, but ...so much temptations, and i'm irritated.

No you are not being sensitive, this is a new process and its hard in the beginning. If your friend is having a dinner party, maybe you can come after they finish eating dinner and its time to hang out so you won't have to explain why you are not eating or be tempted to eat.

Well the thing is , it's at our apartment lol we're roomies, but I'm just going to head out to my friend's house so I won't have to smell this food, its making my stomach growl now.

We were invited to a birthday dinner next Friday which will be 5 days after my surgery. I replied that we had other plans, but could possibly meet them after dinner for a drink (I will be drinking water!). I don't think you should put yourself into temptation yet...it will be fine when you can progress (which will be shortly), but you don't want to mess up this early! Good luck!:smile:

Yeah you right, I don't have any plans of messing up, I have came this far you know. It's frustrated and I ran out of sugar free chocolate puddinggggg lol I have to get some more so i can stay sane

:drool:Yes - go get that pudding!!! I hear ya....crystal lite is keeping me sane during my liquid pre-op. I have grown to hate all the Protein powders/mixes, so I can barely choke them down anymore. Crystal light is the only normal tasting thing that crosses my lips these days! One more day! I go to pureed food 24 hours after surgery. It will be like eating at a 5 star restaurant as far as I'm concerned:laugh:

You are in a tough stage, but it does get much much better! It's a process. You are going to do fine.
