New food obsession!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on October 14. I lost 26 lbs on the two week, pre op diet and down another 9 since surgery. Feeling very grateful! I am however now obsessed with the food channel and cooking the recipes for friends and family. It was sort of a joke at first and my hubby thinks its because I'm staving myself, 2 weeks liquid pre op, 1 week Clear Liquids, 2 weeks full liquids and 2 weeks puréed foods post op per doctors orders. I feel like a food network *****! Will this new obsession go away?

Back when I was fat, I hardly ever cooked. I ate frozen food, fast food, and Cereal for dinner almost every night. I might have made a homemade meal maybe once every 10 days.

After losing 100 lbs, I started getting into cooking, especially for others. I luv to cook now. And now that we're living with my father in law and step daughter, I actually have someone to cook for (hubby is a low carb fanatic and no fun to cook for!) I'm in cooking heaven. Someone actually appreciates my cooking (hubby appreciates it when I fry him a chicken boob, a pork chop or a steak, other than that, he's not appreciative, lol).

I'm obsessed with Diner, Drive Ins, and Dives. Luv watching the different resataurants all over the country and what they serve. Gives me great ideas.

Nothing wrong with watching food channels. as long as ur not following Paula Deens "more butter" theory all the time! lol

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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.
