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?

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>

That's what I am hoping that I will be excited to try new healthier recipes. Which blogger do you follow? I like www.theworldaccordingtoeggface.com

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.

I have definitely seen a lot of food I would serve my family on Egghead, I have stopped looking because I am on my pre-op liquid diet and my stomach growls when I read a recipe. LOL

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!

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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
