Precooking meals(for hubby) for after WLS

[adargie 159]

Just wondering what others did to prepare meals for when they aren't eating(but others in the house need to) I won't be having surg till Aug but I am starting to think of what I will need for single serve meals to freeze for my husband.

You are a good wife. I told mine he was on his own. And he was for quite awhile.

I told everyone in my family they were on their own.I have a older daughter living with us. So she has been cooking.My husband is dieting and trying to do shakes, because he refuse to have surgery. If I were you maybe you could make a head casseroles, chicken pot pies, Soups, anything you game freeze ahead time for your husband while your healing.This would be a great time to start cooking.I hope you have a freezer.Good luck, and I hope this helps a little.

Yeah you are a better woman than I, I also told my boyfriend that he will need to fend for himself but we have a deep-freeze full of food and it's grilling season so I think he'll manage just fine

My husband has been just great. He wants to lose (not like I need to lose) and has been shopping for himself and trying several frozen dinners to see what is out there. It has been eye-opening, as he is really looking at the labels and calorie counts and information.

I do not plan to cook for quite a while, and once I get to where I can stomach a little more real food (scrambled egg???) we plan to eat out occasionally and I will just eat off his plate. Sounds like a good plan to me!

I cooked a lot of meals and froze them for my husband and 2 young kids. I would just buy double or triple ingredients when i cooked a particular meal (before surgery) , made a big batch and freeze leftovers. Spaghetti meat sauce, chili, beef stroganoff, chicken tetrazzini, bean Soup, hamburger patties, etc. my family will still need to eat when I am recovering. Now it's easier on my husband, and ill be able to rest.
