My husband keeps cooking!



Recommended Posts

My husband has taken off a few weeks to be home with me after my band to sleeve surgery on 7/9. I never noticed how often he eats until now! The food he cooks smells great and my mouth starts to Water then my stomach starts to burn since I'm not getting to eat any of the food he cooked. I try to have a sf Popsicle or something I can have but it doesn't really help. Anyone else have this issue?

My mom came over to help out and she cooked for my family. And to top it off she cooked my favorite dish "enchiladas" my mouth was watery for it lol. I just keep drinking my Protein and chicken broth. It's all you can do

i had a whole houseful of people here after my surgery - it seemed all they did was eat. AllI wanted to do was chew. It was HORRIBLE. It got better as I ate Soups and sf Jello while they had spaghetti and garlic bread. I kept telling me self it will be worth it. I think it was much harder the first month. Once you get to eat solid foods it isn't as big of a deal. For example last night my husband had a big burger and I had tuna - didn't bother me at all. And BTW - it was all worth it!!!

Get use to it. I was on an outing with friends the other day and the restraunt they chose because they could take their dog did not have anything I could eat. Luckly I had packed a small bag of cherries for a snack. pizza parties at work are a real bummer too.

I just removed myself form the the kitchen, I went downstairs and watched tv to get away from the pizza ordered at my house 5 days post op for me. Ugh the first 2 weeks were the worst, now it doesn't even phase me. I do get cravings tho

I had my operation on 6/24/14 and my 1st day home, my husband went to McDonald's and ordered a double quarter pounder meal....While I was in the car! Then, the kids had pizza. It was hard for the 1st 2 weeks for me so, I understand your pain. After I was able to eat soft foods, things were all good!

How long ago was your surgery? You can't eat regular foods yet like 1 slice of pizza?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
