I was sleeved on 10/21/14. Now all I want go do is cook, which is great for my husband...lol I started my Thanksgiving cooking today and have more to do tomorrow and I'm loving it!! Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

yes actually I do

It's a little easier. I am not tempted to taste anything because I am not hungry

I had surgery the 24th of November . I helped with some of the cooking for thanksgiving.

I had to take breaks but it was still great

I loved to cook before and still love to cook. I love making people happy by feeding them.

@@Forsythia Guy sometimes irritates me, but it's Giada that is really annoyiing, with her fake smile. So phony. Grrrrr.

I'm interested in my own herb garden too! lol Since I now live in an apartment, I was looking into indoor/year round herb gardens and this is what I found www.aerogarden.com

I always enjoyed cooking. But now, I am more interested in flavorful foods. I am looking into growing my only little herb garden. And sometimes foods with a little kick to it. I am also hooked on storage containers and freezer bags. My hubby says that I am food hoarder, so be it. I have containers on the left side of the fridge with homemade sauces and leftovers. I also fell in love with roasted brussel sprouts,butternut squash and sweet potatoes. I like cod too. It is so meaty and I make a cream sauce with spinach, delish! I am always pinning recipes on Pinterest. I am also hooked onthat because it helps me eat slower, lol.

I'm taking bariatric cooking classes. I love to try new recipes and new foods. I cook for the family and they have learned to eat healthy or cook themselves.

If I make turkey chilly ..I will bake corn bread for them. If I make fajitas ..they have tortillas and I don't. We eat sugar free deserts. In no way are they deprived.

The first month and a half post-op, I wasn't interested in cooking. Now, I'm getting back to it. I cook the same food for myself as for my family... cuisines of different countries, recipes that use spices for flavor rather than fat. Of course, I eat minimal carbs compared with them. It's nice to have a large variety of food to enjoy.

i love cooking! I'm a culinary arts student, which is one thing that prompted me to get the surgery. I didn't want the extra calories from having to taste everything I cook.

@@HardwareJedi, uhhhh, don't you have to taste it anyway? Even Bobby Flay does!

Thx for the link. I am a penny super penny pincher lol. I will have to get a small one for sure. I also saw on Pinterest DIYs on starting a little herb garden using egg shells. How neat is that?

@ BeagleLover, yes but it can take the place of my "grazing all day". No extra food needed. ????

I am looking forward to cooking after surgery. I have been collecting / pinning so many bariatric friendly recipes that my family will love! Especially the world according to eggface. Her recipes look so great!
