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

      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.
