I'm In Holiday Hell

[LadyIvy 159]

OMG! I am going nuts here. I already had to miss the passover seder because I am on my pre-op liquid diet. I let that slide, because there isn't much to be done about it and I just avoided the situation completely. However, I have been without solid food for 7 days now and I sat with my son and dyed eggs for an hour and a half. All I could think about was egg salad, deviled eggs etc. etc. and all the stuff my husband is going to make with those eggs that I can't begin to touch. I know I will be getting all of it back soon enough, but it was sheer hell. After he goes to bed, I have to mess with candy and do his damn basket!!! I picked stuff this year I really don't much like, but right now everything looks good. I am not even really a candy person and I swear I can smell the chocolate through the sealed containers. Tonight, my husband is going to put the candy in the eggs and tomorrow we will hide them along with some of the ones we died tonight. Then in the morning I have to deal with all of this all over again. On top of this, I feel horribly guilty because my husband isn't eating much. I keep telling him to go eat, I know he is hungry and he says he just wants to be near me. I came around the corner today and he has a fork in a can of ravioli and he stops cold, like a kid caught in a candy jar. I haven't gotten on him for it, I have just been avoiding food. If anything, I have been telling him I know he is not eating enough. He keeps doing this anyway. I can't wait until my surgery Monday so I can stop being SO hungry. It doesn't matter how much I drink, my stomach growls SO loudly all the time. It even woke me up last night. I have lost 11 lbs in 7 days on this diet and I am very pleased with that. Today is the first day I truly got cranky about this though and tomorrow is not going to be any easier. Sigh.

I understand completely....I am on day 10 and will be cooking the dinner tomorrow for Easter and watching the kids eat their candy....All I want at this point is a fork full of mashed potatoes or something...I can't wait to eat any food besides liquids. I am done 13 lbs so far.
