A ball of nerves

[Tina727 48]

reality is setting in faster than prepared lol

Today we got our itinerary and now our pre appointments have been scheduled, surgery is schedules, and our first post op appointment is already scheduled. Today marks exactly 7 weeks till surgery! I'm getting butterflies, and nerves are nuts! But what I am really struggling with the most is, how do I grocery shop in the mean time. I just cleaned out my pantry, and an entire deep freezer, (sold the deep freezer) won't need it anymore lol. My mom felt like she went on a shopping spree! She ended up with like 12 grocery bags to take home lol. Now it's time to grocery shop and I don't even know what to buy or what to eat. I want to keep everything to a minimum and not buy so much and end up tossing it out. I'm so sick of food already this makes me nuts. I hate the dreaded question of "what's for dinner tonight" I'm only cooking for my wife and I so you think it would be easy right. nope. we're both so sick of food.

I need some ideas please. I'm the total opposite. I'm not gonna mourn food, I'm not even gonna miss it, and I could care less to splurge or pig out. so I need some help. Thanks guys

Good morning and welcome to the waiting game! Since you're like me and still have a family to cook for I will share this website with you that i learned about during a support group at my Bariatric center. It is www.chefwoodys.com. This is a site ran by a Bariatric patient who had the surgery himself and also his wife. Woody needed to be able to make healthy meals that both he and his wife could share w/o having to cook two different meals. The website is pretty awesome and breaks down meals based on your place in the journey; so there's recipes from the very beginning of post op all the way through the rest of your life. Also, if you have an old family recipe that you are particularly fond of but it's not healthy; if you send it to Woody he will lighten it up for you! Super nice guy and will also answer your cooking questions! Best of luck and congratulations on your WL journey :-)
