If I would of planned this better I would of made some casseroles and froze them for the two week pre diet. Cause the first four days I was so hungry I felt like I could go Incredible Hulk over food. But tonight I made pulled pork and nachos and it didn't bother me. Oh and no cooking hungry! For me.

I'm I'm the pre opt diet phase. I have not had to hard a time dealing. Just remember y u are doing this. For me I want to shrink my liver. Safety 1st

I don't find it hard at all. I cook nutritious meals, low fat, and high flavor (have lots of spices). I cook the carbs separately so everyone else can add them to their plates based on their appetites. I might have a teeny amount, but the drive to eat the carbs is gone. Easy peezy.

I've cooked for my husband and adult brother that lives with us throughout. Cooking is something I enjoy and while there were a couple of times it was difficult, most of the time it was OK. Now that I'm on pureed, I'm playing with flavors in my chicken and looking for a great healthy lowfat crustless quiche recipe for Christmas morning....my next step up from pureed. I know that what I'm cooking I'll be able to eat again in moderation so I don't look at it negatively.

It's just my 17 year old daughter and husband, they agreed to cook for themselves especially seafood which I don't like. Just for a few weeks and when my other kids come around I'll cook! It'll be hard at first. Surgery on the 30th.

@@Malibucruzer Let your husband cook for himself. I told my husband that he would be responsible for himself and the kids while on my two week pre-op diet. I stayed in my room while they ate. And guess what?! They didn't starve!!! And I made it through my two weeks of liquids without incident !

I cook for my daughter and what I do is eat my little meal first which is Soup or something small then make her dinner. Honestly you cant eat much anyway so even if you took a bite or 2 you will be full. I can only eat 2 tablespoons of anything then stuffed. So no temptation at all

I'm curious about this to, as I am the one that'll be cooking ????

Getting ready for sleeve surgery Jan. 19th. There is just my husband and me in the home. How do you cook, etc. for the others in your house when you can't eat what they are eating? Is it hard to do and smell without going crazy? I'm worried about this. How have you all handled it. Any tips you can give me? Thanks!!
