Maggie0557 31 Posted September 16, 2012 I love to cook for my family, especially big Sunday dinners. I am afraid my surgery is going to change that. I want to continue our Traditional Sunday dinner when everyone comes home. Has your attitude toward cooking changed? Maggie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ciaobella 76 Posted September 16, 2012 I love to cook too. I will still cook, but I plan to make healthier food for my family that we can all enjoy. I bought a cookbook and follow a WLS blogger that both have some great recipes. I can't wait until I'm far enough out to make some new things. I think the slowcooker will be a great way to make moist meat.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ciaobella 76 Posted September 16, 2012 Maggie, that's the blogger! I love her and I believe she actually lives here in my town. Even my nutritionist and nurse said that since we can't eat very much, we might as well make it taste good. I'm trying not to look at many recipes right now since I am still a ways out from normal food, but I will definitely look for ways to make our meals healthier and pouch-friendly. I don't want to cook two dinners every night. Maria Surgery 9/10/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baker_gurl 119 Posted September 17, 2012 I think this change in my life has inspired me to be a healthier cook. Both my husband and I need to lose weight, so I am determined to stop buying junk and start researching healthy recipes that will work for both of us. I want to be a healthy family! 2 irshangel and Ciaobella reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenneliza 257 Posted September 18, 2012 I still cook all the time. A great thing is when my kids want to go get a specific meal and then I plan recipe tweaks to make a much healthier version at home. I think it sets a good example for them that you can have great tasting healthy things. 2 Maggie0557 and Ciaobella reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
