Take care of yourself first, being ill is not an excuse to miss a party, it's necessity of the moment.
You will not be considered antisocial if you are not going to attend the party. But you will surely be careless about your health if you ignore your health.

No, you need to do what you can for your health. I wouldn’t feel guilty about it. Sorry you are feeling so bad. It can take all the energy out of a person to get sick that way.

@cherokeepatti I know exactly what it was. I had a chicken salad plate with potato salad and cole slaw...and the chicken salad was chunks of chicken swimming in so much mayonnaise I had to scrape it off.
I ended up with a pile of mayonnaise...like THREE heaping tablespoons, and the chicken was still thoroughly coated. I ate it anyway, without the extra mayo...I had one bite of the cole slaw and knew I couldn't eat it. I wasn't supposed to eat potatoes...but I do love potato salad...and it was there...so I ate it.

@4meAndyou that chicken salad was probably held too long or else the mayo was going bad.
4meAndyou · F
@cherokeepatti I think the mayo was probably bad.
I'm so sorry you're so sick. Please don't feel guilty. You can't help it. I hope and pray you get well soon. I'm sorry this happened to you. 🌹🫂

Oh you are sick ! Of course you won't eat out. Your stomach is still raw.
Also, when you are in pain you are not going to enjoy much of what they do. You can politely apologize in your beautiful way and stay home and rest 🤗 you owe it to yourself
Just be happy you are getting better. I glad you are 🥰

@4meAndyou So it is food poisoning?
4meAndyou · F
@Friendlyperson I suspect that it was.
Friendlyperson · 26-30, F
@4meAndyou If you are still in pain and are still throwing up or having diarrhea and no symptoms are getting better you gotta check the doctor. Perhaps the diet you are taking is making it worse. Or perhaps you need treatment.
You should be eating green veggies and no red meat (white meat is okay) and avoid sugary stuff and sode and also the fruits that make it worse. Bananas and apples are okay though.

Far from it.
To put it bluntly, you are still ill and would risk being antisocial by attending.
Give your gracious apologies to your hosts, whom I'm sure would understand, and stay home resting and keeping hydrated for the next few days.

I’d take recovery over a party any day. Just stick with fluids and maybe light carbs, like toast or saltines. 👍🏻
Get well. 😊

you're not being weird or antisocial. it's understandable you may not go. but it's still early and maybe something might change....but don't worry about it
4meAndyou · F
@beermeplease THANK you. TBH, my tummy is twinging with anxiety because I SHOULD try to go...but the thought of eating food that other people have touched is making me gag mentally.

@oldguy73 These barbecues feature potato salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw, hot dogs, kielbasa, hamburgers, cake, cookies, and various types of soda. I went last year.
It was a chicken salad delivery made with super excessive mayonnaise that made me SO sick...and i feel a tiny bit nauseated just thinking about today's menu. Mayonnaise...🤮🤮🤮

I feel like if I made a post like this you would tell me to stay home take care of myself and say I have nothing to feel guilty about.........
4meAndyou · F
@Cigarguy101 Awww. Thank you. Your opinion means a lot to me. I am just praying no one knocks on my door to ask me why I am not at the barbecue...😔
Cigarguy101 · 41-45, M
@4meAndyou don't answer if they do

@Cigarguy101 Good thought.

I don't blame you at all for feeling like a homebody after a bout of food poisoning
You need to recover from that

Nothing weird about it. Youre getting over a nasty bout with food poisining and you dont want to attend an event centered around food. Makes perfect sense
BizSuitStacy · M
Awww...sorry to hear that. Hoping you feel better soon.
Poppies · 61-69, F
You shouldn't go. You have a responsibility to care for your body. It's the only one you have!
Musicman · 61-69, M
It's not weird at all and you are definitely not antisocial. Take it from someone who has had food poisoning a few times. You are sick as a dog. The first 24 hours I can't eat and can barely even keep a sip of water down. You want to go to the party, but you still feel a little sick and even the smell of food right now can send you back to the bathroom. No! You are definitely not antisocial. I would want to go too, but rest your stomach. Don't get sick again and especially in front of your neighbors.

Get well soon. 🙏
