I will be having my surgery in March I will be starting on my 2 week pre-op program. How do I cook and plan meals for my family and stay on track with all of my requirements

I finished my pre-op drinks when I felt hungry. I usually didn't eat with the family. I suggest dumping everything into the crock pot on low in the morning. It's done when dinner time rolls around, & you don't have to keep staring at it.

Depending on the specifics of your pre-op plan, you should probably just not even try to eat with your family. Have your shakes on your schedule. Remember, you are going to have a lot of restrictions on your diet post-op, so it's best to get used to this now. Eventually you'll be able to eat solids again and can enjoy some of the foods you make for your family (I always just have the Protein from whatever dinner we're having), but that will be a long way off. It will definitely be a challenge if you are still having to cook for them every day. See if you can get your husband to help or so as the previous poster suggested and try to come up with easier meals that require less interaction on your part.
