Today, I'm in the hospital and it's been 44 hours since I've eaten anything. My doctors won't let me eat and my parents are sitting across the room, eating. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my parents brought home lunch from a shady grocery store deli. They mused about how hard I am to feed because I turned it down; the last time I ate anything from there, it gave me botulism, and it tastes horrible anyway. They both got sick. Now I'm playing nurse to both. No apologies yet. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to have a tooth pulled. The day before, I was too anxious to eat anything, so I went in with an empty stomach. There were complications during the extraction and now I'm not allowed to eat for the next 24 hours. FML
Today, I'm in agony. I can't eat or drink anything without being in pain, including water. Doctors don't know what's wrong with me, and can only prescribe me painkillers I can only take 3 times a day. FML
Today, it's been a week since I've been in hospital. No one has been to visit me. The nurses have nicknamed me "The Lonely One." FML
Today, I woke up in a military hospital, after having all four wisdom teeth out yesterday. A nurse came in with a breakfast trolley full of eggs and bacon, looks at my pleading face, looks at her clipboard and says, "Only non-solid foods for you, private." FML
Today, it's been a full week since my last orthodontist appointment and I still can't eat anything besides Slimfast and pudding. FML
Today, I was supposed to be enjoying a long-anticipated, desperately needed, weekend away. Turns out those "little stomach twinges" were actually symptoms of appendicitis. I'm stuck in the hospital, alone, recovering from surgery, while my family is enjoying our non-refundable break. FML
Today, I got in trouble with my doctor for eating too soon after surgery. Why was I eating? Because the nurses brought me food, which apparently I should've known not to eat. FML
Today, after struggling with anorexia for months, I got food poisoning. FML
Today, I got my wisdom teeth out. Afterwards, my parents thought it would be a great idea to have my favourite meal. I got to watch them enjoy it. FML

So sorry OP. I've been there before, with the exception of evil parents.

His doctors probably aren't letting him eat anything,yet, because he's scheduled for surgery. The same exact thing happened to me, including my mom and little sister eating in front of me. At least OP (hopefully) didn't get hit by a car? I did and the worst part is FML won't even let me submit an FML about it. =( Anyway, hopefully they let you eat soon. Good luck, OP. =)

Don't feel bad OP I'm in the exact same position I've been in the hospital since Sunday and couldn't eat anything until this morning and my dad gets to eat which he does right in front of my face, laughing

Insensitive assholes. Tell the doctor to tell them to go somewhere else to eat. Some idiots need to be told.

I feel your pain, OP. I was in the hospital once and I couldn't eat for 8 entire days. I can honestly say I empathize. Poor soul. Once you're allowed to eat again, have your family take you down to the cafeteria and eat everything you want!

They wouldn't let me eat when I was in the hospital either. I hope you feel better soon op!

If the doctors are telling you not to eat there's probably a very good reason for it, although it sucks that your parents are so inconsiderate.

Been there done that except I hadn't eaten for a good 88 hours due to the inability to swallow.
