The past week I've been cooking for my kids again and it's not so bad anymore for me I just slightly may taste the sauces or broth to make sure it's not over seasoned

I have been cooking for my family all along because I am the only one who cooks and I have to say, it really was hard at first! I would actually get all grumpy, especially if I was hungry myself...almost like a little panicky. But now that I recognize how I was feeling, I make sure to eat a little something before or while cooking. I don't cook on an empty stomach if it's food I won't be eating!

Same.. I have learned not to cook hungry always feed yourself first. I have noticed that I am cooking more healthier for them as well.

I was doing take out, frozen pizza, tv dinners etc. And I knew I had to make changes ASAP and the slow cooker meals are awesome

Tasting less than a teaspoon of a sauce or a bite of something to make sure seasoning is right isn't a problem. I've been cooking for my family since post-op day 8. (My hubby grilled for the kids the first few days and I gave him some slow cooker set ups for the other days.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks it's been good so far and I'm just thankful I didn't go into a bad spell where I didn't want to do anything cause I know there's some that lose focus

I cooked every day starting 2 days after I got back home and it didn't bother me. I even brought home wings so my son could enjoy them while I drank a Protein shake..... it Is just mind over matter and just because I can't eat doesn't mean I shouldn't cook for him. But I can understand we are all different

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
