How is it to cook for others after surgery



Recommended Posts

This might sound kinda funny but I also have a 14 month old whose food might be more tempting. He's only starting to get molars now so he is still on somewhat soft foods (as in no hard/crunchy stuff and he doesn't like meats yet) so a lot of his foods are what I imagine I would be eating eventually. The problem there is that until age 2, his foods are made with whole milk, cheese, cottage cheese, etc.

During the initial post op phase, you will be on liquids, then mushies. After that you will be able to eat just about any food you ate before. Once you get restriction, you will find out the foods that just don't go down as well. If I eat slowly, and chew thoroughly, I can eat anything; just not as much.

I enjoy cooking meals more now than ever because I know I'll eat a small portion and put the rest away. I also get more creative. My theory is that if I can only eat a few bites of something, then I want those to be full of flavor, not boring.

I found that its much easier to go costco and pick out dinners in the freezer that they can put in the oven and prepare themselves. I don't want to have to touch the meals- i'm afraid I will want to eat it!My kids are teenagers so they can fend for themselves.Or, a bowl of Cereal always works! they aren't starving!!!!!!

      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.
