I made dinner tonight for the first time. 12 days since surgery. I'll post about it later since I can't see what I am typing when I start a thread.

I made dinner. I am still on liquids and I wasn't easy without tasting. We use a meal service (green chief) so I just had to do minor prep but it was hard. I can't imagine having to cook from scratch or feed a family. I did remember to choose meals that I wasn't crazy about and three of them (gobble) are one pan meals. I think my husband Orson will be making their own food till I tolerate puree.

Funny. I am such a foodie that I want to describe the meal. That's so messed up.

It'll be fine. I am a great cook and was initially concerned I wouldn't be able to cook, nor cook for others. But two weeks after my VSG (Dec. 2013), I cooked a big "Christmas-style" dinner for the two men who helped me with my surgery. I was so happy I could do it and I didn't even taste anything--not the meats, veggies, nothing. I told them I hadn't tasted any of it, and i still "got down"; it was still delicious, still it was a winner.

I'm a month out and I'm back to cooking every night sometimes I have one of the kids come salt test it but it's all good

No issue cooking after the second week. I do taste as I go- just not the carb stuff. I will put some rice or potatoes and "tongue" taste it but will spit it out if I'm looking for a certain flavor profile. ( DO NOT GET THIS CONFUSED WITH CHEWING TO SPIT! It's more akin to someone tasting multiple wines...)

I still find great pleasure in preparing and serving to my family.
