It’s a little expensive but I use Daily Harvest for myself, which are super quick to cook (4 min in a pan) after I’ve made my daughter something.

I'm very curious how your weight loss has been to this point.

I find it difficult as it is just my husband I at this point and he weighs in at a whopping 135 and I usually have to make what he wants and just have the Protein myself. Next month my son is moving back in with us and he will eat anything I put in front of him, in fact he could benefit from this surgery.

I cook one dinner, if the kids don’t like it/want it, we offer yogurt and fruit.

Yes no this wouldn’t work in our house. I’m sure it would work when my older 2 were much younger.

What types of food do you keep on hand? The meatballs are a great idea.

Meatballs, cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs. Plus there are some great frozen options for wls patients at Walmart. My nutritionist pointed them out to me.

sous vide eggs with veggies and frittatas come to mind.

Plus I always have leftovers from the night before. Mostly I just cook things that my husband and I can both eat. Even if you end up making something with carbs in it that you can’t eat, pick the carbs out and eat vegetables and meat. I have an instant pot and can make delicious, healthy meals in a snap.

My philosophy was/is: I cooked everyone dinner, you’re welcome. It does not hurt my feelings if you don’t like it. We have bread, cheese, Peanut Butter, deli meat, eggo waffles, eggs and fruit if you would prefer to make your own meal. Feel free to order a pizza if you have money, I don’t care. This usually only happened on nights when I made curry, stir fry or fish. Now they all love those things.

I never claimed to be mother of the year.

      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.
