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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

I'm in the hospital a lot and a good portion of the times I am unable to eat for hours or days at a time, my mom usually will not eat because I can't; but I tell her too eat because it isn't fair for her to have to wait.

Been there. I wasn't able to eat for a week and a half when I was in the hospital. It's not fun.

I feel your feels. Eight years (three hospital stays) ago, mom ate my favorite food, Memphis barbecue, in the guest chair of my hospital room on my third day of NPO.

That has happened to me too! Except my sister got two mini cans of Pringles I had been eyeing up earlier. -_-

Last time I was in the hospital it had also been close to two days since I had been able to eat and the doctors were still not allowing it. I cried to a nurse and convinced her to bring me some saltine crackers and said if I didn't keep them down we could just blame it on my mom. Best cracker I had ever eaten.

NO ONE deserves that kind of torture. NO ONE.
