Will I Forget To Feed My Kid?

I'm only slightly kidding! My surgery is May 30 and I'm finding things to worry about I guess! Do you cook food for your family that you know you can't eat, or does your family have to suck it up and eat what you can it (only a bigger portion). I can't imagine what it will be like to not feel hunger!

haha...that is so funny. there are some days where I have no desire to eat at all, and my kids are like.....mom whats for dinner? the good part for me is that my kids are old enough to cook some things on their own. most of the times I manage to feed them just fine. :D

the thing that is really hard for them to deal with is that I am not buying junk anymore. they are going through withdrawls. haha

I used to spend about 600-800 a month on food for a family of 5....now I spend about 300! my grocery bill is definatly better now, but they are like.....we dont have anything good to eat. I say....um yeah there is tons of good stuff to eat, just none of the junk anymore. my husband has involuntarily lost 20 pounds since my surgery. lol

he was not overweight at all btw, but now he is at the low end of healthy weight for his height. my kids are not losing any weight though...as a matter of fact my son has put on 30 pounds this year! he isnt fat, but i am always on him about how much he eats, and exercising because i dont want him to have the same problems with weight that I did. he is 13 now and going through puberty, and that is the only reason im not totally freaking out about his weight gain.

good luck in making sure your kid doesnt starve :D lol

Hahaha it is good that my daughter is 15!!!! I don't get hungry and my daughter eats a lot of cereal!!!! I havent really cooked in 8 weeks!!!!
