family dinner time
at 1 week post op tomorrow. im not up cooking. my spouse is doing
everything. we have 4 children. so when he cooks, its still a good
sized meal. im worried because, unlike so many people say, i dont get
sick looking at the food he is cooking. i find myself thinking about
if i can blend it up to fit my puree requirements. i know this is
bad. no, i havent done it yet. but whos to say i wont. i actually
dreamed of eating pizza the other night when they ate pizza for
dinner. i think im going to be a failure. i cant expect them to not
eat. and they respect me in the fact they dont flaunt the food in
front of me, but it like when they eat, i have to get upstairs. i
dont want to see them eat. or when hes baking, i want to scream and
pull my nose out. being honest with myself here, pizza, spaghetti,
whatever .. tastes so much better than puree, and protein shakes, and
sugar free jello. i feel like an idiot. any adivce?

I’m a few months away from having the op .. and hadn’t really thought
that side of things thru - what a horrible situation .. really. Smells
are so tantalising aren’t they!!
I don’t think you should feel like an idiot tho Barbara, I think you’ve
done well to not have anything this far in light of the temptation!
Is it possible for him to make things which dont tempt you?
We all have some things which are not as “appealing” to use.. not gross
items which NO ONE would want to eat .. maybe the family can eat some of
those things for awhile?
Good luck!
