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?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
