How Does Your Weight Loss Surgery Diet Fit into Your Household’s Meal Plan?

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,280]

My diet is the household diet. My family is very supportive. Especially since I do most of the cooking!

When I had the surgery I lived alone and was going to mark that answer but currently I have my 95 year old great uncle living with me (he has alzheimers). He doesn't eat very much and most of his meals have to be pureed. Since I don't really eat a full serving, we share the meal. I have been cooking soft foods that are easily mashed for him and high protein/low carb for both of us.

I am still pre-op, but I've mostly been following a lean protein/low carb/no wheat diet for the past month or so, so I imagine that many things will be the same post-op when I am on solid food again.

Nobody else in my family will eat fish, so I will often bake myself a single serving of salmon or something and cook them their usual favorite. I do this when they want something like pizza that I just really can't have any of. For most meals, the main course is a lean Protein, so I will eat that and just not have the starchy sides. I will make spaghetti with turkey meatballs and I won't have any of the Pasta. I will make chicken and veggie fajitas and I won't eat the tortillas.

No issues. We are healthy meals before. Now it's much the same but low carb variations. I honestly don't think my family notices differences in meals.

Still adjusting. As a whole I keep my diet meals always available. However, when I do eat what I cook... I stick with the Protein and avoid starch.
