  Good for you Kerri. You NEED to think of yourself first and cook the way you need to; if someone doesn`t like it, they can cook for themselves… what a novel idea. If not, they can eat what you are cooking and be healthier themselves! You will do fine; explore lots of different recipe sites for new innovative recipes. Use `replacements`, such as zucchini matchsticks in lieu of spaghetti; use zucchini strips for lasagna. I found a new one today that I`m dying to try…. Kelp noodles.. they look like rice noodles; I am going to make pad thai with them. Of course, after your surgery for a few months, you won`t care about any `good`food, just getting in your protein and the small amount your stomach can hold. I now eat about half a cup or a bit more for dinner, but prefer to keep it low. Some people eat bigger amounts but I worry about stretching my stomach. So I eat smaller amounts and supplement with protein powders. There are so many flavours available from body building shops…they are worth looking into! And I posted a note a while back with a whack of recipe sites that are wls friendly; you may want to look some of them up. Knowledge is power for you; learn all you can about wls, what foods are good for you, what aren`t etc. and be bold. I have lost almost half my body weight in just over a year and am less than 10 lbs to goal. I still eat no carbs – or if there are carbs, so very little…I make breads with alternate flours, don`t eat potatoes, rice, crackers, etc. as I prefer to fill my stomach with protein rich foods. You will do well; you have the attitude to show everyone that you are serious and will look after yourself! Good for you.
