do you hate cooking?



Recommended Posts

Took your survey! :) I don't cook much because I never know who is home and most of the time I can't decide what I or someone else wants to eat or if I am in the mood to dirty up the kitchen. I would much rather go to a restaurant and pick out healthy alternatives. That part is new instead of getting what I really would like to eat. I am a good cook but shut down when I have to figure out new stuff.

I just took the survey. I don't cook because I don't enjoy it, and it's a bother.

I don't cook regularly. I wouldn't mind if I had more time.

My husband and I were both sleeved and thank goodness we like different foods. He eats when he is hungry and I eat when I am hungry. He loves smoked salmon, I don't. Even if he did not have surgery this would work for us since we never sat down to meals since it is just 2 of us. I try to keep what he likes in the fridge, and plenty of Soups for emergency. We are just eating healthier now, Proteins and shakes, and no longer have any bread, crackers, carbs, fruit, or sweets in the house.

Took the survey. I don't like cooking because I'm not good at it. The few foods I can cook are very unhealthy. When trying to change the recipes to be more healthy it just doesn't taste good. Besides that I'm roommates with my sister who loves to cook and it's always fat fried food. She doesn't have a weight problem though.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
