So in my experience, weekends in general, and especially Holiday Weekends, equal food and drinks. I am having a tough time heading into the Memorial Day weekend because I would usually be planning all our meals and getting excited for the festivities- which are centered on food and cocktails.
I feel like I need to get it out of my system so if I were pre-op, here's a little taste of how the weekend would go:
Friday night: Lobster and steamers on the deck with corn on the cob, lots of butter, beer and champagne for me- I always have bubbles with my lobstah!
Saturday: Surf and Turf bbq- Omaha steaks and grilled colossal shrimp, grilled pineapple, and a big summer salad. Lots of crusty bread for dipping in garlic olive oil and lots of red wine
Sunday: Big BBQ at my brother's- burgers, dogs, chicken and kegs.
Monday: Road trip to Woodmans in Ipswich for the best fried clams and scallops ever and more cold beer.
Ok so you get the picture. My parents are staying with us from Friday- Tues so I would also be baking (which i love and miss) blueberry muffins, coffee cake, and we'd have omelettes one morning and prob go out for breakfast another.
Ok back to my reality. Didnt have a very good day getting in my fluids or protein. My stomach was kind of upset- so I didnt want to push it. I am trying so hard but i haven't found a protein source that agrees with me except Isopure and the flavors are so nasty it kills me to drink it.
Well I hope i can stay busy this weekend, and positive. It's a drag. Everyone had cheeseburgers and dogs on the grill tonite. I've been trying to sit with them at dinner and just have my propel water, but I just couldnt do it tonite. I stayed in the other room watching tv and my little angel brought his plate over and said "mommy i'm gonna eat with you ok?" I started crying and it made me feel so much better that he didnt forget about me. I just want to push the Easy button.
But as my wise friend Julie Kelley reminded me the other day "Tough times don't last, but tough people do." I'm trying Jewels.....
