Girl, if there is ever a time to stress eat, this is it. Bring some knitting, paint your nails while you wait, walk the halls.

Tell her to feel better soon and give her a hug from me! A hug to you, too. That's tough.

Yep, you stuffed up...

...for an hour - not forever.

Your mum's recovery is more important than having a clean eating record today.

My best friend committed suicide on Sunday. I couldn't begin to tell you what I've eaten in the last 3 days but pretty sure it didn't involve much Protein. Tons of food being dropped off and it's all about carbs. Just try and stay hydrated and don't worry about the rest right now.

Hoping your mom recovers soon....

Nobody can beat you up harder than you are beating yourself up. ICU is scary times. You're allowed a bit of leeway here.

Good grief!

@@kimpossible67 and @@Kindle ... I'm so, so sorry for your losses and the stresses you're both feeling now.

Please be as good to yourselves as you possibly can be.

I'm thinking of you both.

I'm not normally a stress eater but my mom is in ICU, recovering heart surgery. I've attempted to get in Protein and Fluid but just to punish myself I threw in Cookies and pretzels.

Steeling myself for the well deserved ass kicking...GO...

You did it once, you know what you did and why and you don't plan on making a habit out of it.

Everyone cracks once in a while. It's being able to admit what you did and not making delusional excuses about it that saves you from the slippery slope of "ok, it happened" from turning into "it's a habit".

Hope your mom recovers quickly.

Sometimes you just get tired of being strong. Hugs and love from Chicago. Plan for tomorrow and have some string cheese, nuts, or Protein bars in your purse. Even a banana is better than Twinkies. You can't count on hospital cafeterias to have quality Protein.

Sometimes you just get tired of being strong.

Exactly!

Thank you everyone. It's going to be a long road of sadness, guilt and anger. a hard lesson learned about what depression can do to an otherwise generous, loving man.

@@kimpossible67 Sorry to hijack the thread, but just wanted to let you know it's OK to let your guard down sometimes and don't let it bother you. MHow is your mom doing?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
