I love to cook too. I love baking bread. I may or may not be able to eat it when this is all over, but I can still enjoy the process of baking the bread and seeing people I adore enjoy it.

Christinamo7 I really enjoyed reading your post. I am scheduled for surgery on August 8th, and today I have started my pre-op diet. I too, love to cook, bake, and of course eat, lol:). As a matter of fact, I have a degree in Culinary Arts and I love to bake Desserts and thought about making a business of it someday, but I had doubts about that once I decided on surgery. I mean, how can WLS and baking go in the same sentence?? I know it sounds contradictory, but I believe that it can be possible. I read an article not too long ago about three sisters who were all obese and decided to have WLS- all three. One of them decided to go to school to become a pastry chef. After reading that, I said, more power to her! I love it.

well I will tell you I also LOVE TO COOK. and I love to bake.
I still do. I find my tastes have changed somewhat, but it also doesn't bother me to cook what I'm not wanting to eat. there is always something in the mix that I love to eat as well so it works out just fine.
right now due to an overabundance of tomatoes, I have a lovely red sauce cooking down on the stove for later this week. I made steak and chicken quesadillas for my family today and had steak, chicken, black Beans and cheese with salsa for me.
the only thing is when I was on liquids I did not want to cook for others, but I had planned ahead and had things in the freezer for the family so I could just have my liquids in peace. but once I was eating it was game on again.

I love to cook and still do. But you have to weigh your options. Not to have surgery and live with being overweight and unhealthy and possibly shortening your life. Or cooking a little less and loosing weight which leads to feeling better, looking better, better health and so on
