I'm hoping to have sleeve in June/July. I am mother/stepmother of 4 teenage boys a toddler and have a husband. I cook dinner most nights. Any tips for cooking for family after I am sleeved?

Here is my thing. I have 3 children and a husband. I have almost missed dinner the last week or so because I am not hungry so I don't feel like cooking. At about 6:30, the kids start hunting me down to find out what is for dinner. We have had fend for yourself more. Nights than I can count on the last month. It will have to get better when school starts. Feeding the children is in my job description. Lol

I cook for my family and it is no problem. When I was on puréed stage I made a lot of low fat crockpot recipes because they purée well.

Some go to websites for healthy delicious recipes are

Www.emilybites.com

Www.skinnytaste.com

Everything I have made from these websites have been amazing. My whole family loves it!

It has helped me cook healthier for my husband and me. I cook lean protein and a vegetable. I eat out of a small plate for myself and my husband eats on a normal dinner plate. He eats less than he did before my surgery. I think we are just both more aware.

Not really. I'm 10 days post op and still on liquids. I cook for my family just the same. This morning I made them french toast and turkey sausage and ill be making spaghetti and garlic bread tonight. I have no issue with it. I don't cook that often so when I have had to cook for them it's been fine. I wonder if that will change as i transition to solids.

I imagine i may have to eat differently from them sometimes like if it's a pizza night, I'll have to have something different and I'm ok with that.

I had no problem with cooking and not being able to eat. I would tell myself you've had it before and know what it tastes like. You'll have it again lol.
