It’s a little expensive but I use Daily Harvest for myself, which are super quick to cook (4 min in a pan) after I’ve made my daughter something.

I'm very curious how your weight loss has been to this point.

I find it difficult as it is just my husband I at this point and he weighs in at a whopping 135 and I usually have to make what he wants and just have the Protein myself. Next month my son is moving back in with us and he will eat anything I put in front of him, in fact he could benefit from this surgery.

I cook one dinner, if the kids don’t like it/want it, we offer yogurt and fruit.

Yes no this wouldn’t work in our house. I’m sure it would work when my older 2 were much younger.

What types of food do you keep on hand? The meatballs are a great idea.

Meatballs, cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs. Plus there are some great frozen options for wls patients at Walmart. My nutritionist pointed them out to me.

sous vide eggs with veggies and frittatas come to mind.

Plus I always have leftovers from the night before. Mostly I just cook things that my husband and I can both eat. Even if you end up making something with carbs in it that you can’t eat, pick the carbs out and eat vegetables and meat. I have an instant pot and can make delicious, healthy meals in a snap.

My philosophy was/is: I cooked everyone dinner, you’re welcome. It does not hurt my feelings if you don’t like it. We have bread, cheese, Peanut Butter, deli meat, eggo waffles, eggs and fruit if you would prefer to make your own meal. Feel free to order a pizza if you have money, I don’t care. This usually only happened on nights when I made curry, stir fry or fish. Now they all love those things.

I never claimed to be mother of the year.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
