Anyone else feeling like me? I do want to avoid all our friends christmas celebrations. We have been going to our same neighbors/friends for the last like 20 yrs and honestly, i so have not wanted to go, especially because now after surgery, everyone is so like, ohhh you must feel so much better! And im like no, not really... and i get this blank stare, and a follow up of well your eating so you must be feeling better somewhat... and i cant keep my loud mouth shut, and i say, it hurts to eat, i can only avoud eating for so long each day, so this is the meal i choose to wait to eat. But i still feel like crud. Then i get the well, you look alot better, and its like, well thanks, wish i felt the way i looked. And i can only stay at these things for so long cause i can only take talking about it with one after another for so long before im like, yup, ok im over this... i know people care, but that doesnt change the fact that its not what i want to talk about all night. Maybe i am like ebineezer scrooge, bah humbug, but its kinda the last thing i want to discuss all night, while everyone is drinking liquor or beer and gorging themselves without thoughts of any repercussions.... just miss those days, and im not tryin to throw a pity party for myself, just gets difficult, because of the holidays and then my bday is new years eve as well.... uhhhhgggg

Ya, kinda need to eat at some point no matter how much i try not too. I hate it but... i am hungry, even after i eat, i am usually still hungry, like im not absorbing my food.
Me too.We don't "do" Christmas at all.Haven't for 15yrs.It's just an ordinary day for us.I cooked a special lunch, but only ate a small amount.Hubby always clears his plate,so it wasn't in vain.I haven't had alcohol for over five years.Luckily,I don't need to explain myself to anybody.They all understand.Best wishes.

Have you tried formula only for a while ???
Ensure peptamen etc????
Really helps when the pain is bad from food
Semi elemental ( peptamen or peptide ) only need a few inches of healthy it's time to absorb
My kiddo does mostly formula when things are bad
Much better than pain
But totally get the you must be well since you look ok
Hear that all the time for ds since the formula lets him look healthy
