im just over 3 weeks post op, and basically feeling ok. in the last few days i have been feeling pretty nauseous and finding it hard to eat much. Just the thought of smelling the Protein powder makes my stomach turn.

Since I have been back, life has been going on as normal. I cook everyday for the hubby and kids and have learnt to eat before I start to cook to make it easier on myself.

The big problem is that here in Israel we are going through a period of lots and lots of holidays – which fall just before or just after Friday nights when we also have a large sit down family meal which I work all day to cook. So it seems that my life is just turning around food.. What to cook, when to cook, for who to cook and im just sick of it. Today is yet again Friday which means a large meal (its tradition) and I just can be bothered. I feel like salmon but If I make salmon it means that I will have to make another meal for tomorrow for the kids/hubby. Then on Sunday evening its another holiday~! Another big meal and on Monday we are going to the in-laws for the day – where I have to take food with me too.

Im just sick of it. I can not not cook but I just wish it wasn’t that way. I live in the middle of the desert where there are two horrible restruants near by which is not only very expensive but just not good food .

Its just making me feel pretting down. I wonder if could serve Protein shakes for Friday day meal?? Lol

Sorry to moan I just had to get it off my chest! Im sure someone understands my feelings!

I understand!! I know its harder on you but right now I am on a diet and it's hard having to cook food for my husband and son when I can't eat what they are and they refuse to change their diets in any way. So what I started doing is if I can't eat it I don't cook. They will either have to go out or cook themselves or eat what I eat!!

Can you make meals in large batches then freeze them so when you don't feel like cooking you can just defrost?
