Need some support/advice

[Jenn1214 120]

I'm not even two weeks out from surgery, so I'm still on liquids. Problem is, I have my sister in law's bridal shower tomorrow and I have to go because I'm a bridesmaid. I wouldn't even care that much except it's at a restaurant. How should I handle this? I was thinking just order and ask them to bring it to me already wrapped so I can take it home for my fiance. I just feel weird explaining my situation to the waiter and in front of dozens of people I've never met before. What would you guys do?

Just order Soup and you should be fine - just make sure its not chunky. This will not harm your band, don't worry

I agree with Soup. If it is chunky, just simply eat/drink the broth...that's what I did in a similar situation and no one noticed...

I was glad to see this question asked. Soup is a good idea. I've got to go to Easter dinner at my in-laws about the same time after surgery. I was planning to just excuse myself to the other room with some sort of 'stomachache' excuse, but maybe I could bring some soup as a side-dish rather than the traditional Cookies.< /p>

I am in an almost similar situation. I'm hosting my sister in-law's baby shower two weeks post-op. I will have to tell everybody that I'm on a liquid diet, or something, as I won't be eating any of the fancy two-tiered cake I made, or any of the food I laid out for everybody, lol. Fortunately, we won't all be seated down restaurant style, and as host, I can serve or clean up while people eat and probably get by without anybody noticing I'm not touching anything .
