I am waiting for a date for my op (bypass) and I have a couple of questions.
Can anyone recommend an online bariatric surgery support group. I’ve looked at a couple on Facebook and they all seem to be American. They seem to do things slightly differently over there so I’d prefer an British group.
Secondly, it’s a big operation and lifestyle change and I’m worried about various things but the I think the thing I’m going to struggle with most is feeding my family.
I do most of the cooking. Like most people (I think) I struggle with what to make for dinner most days. I try to keep meals quite healthy and nutritious and varied. I do quite a bit of cooking from scratch.
It’s going to be even harder for me post op (for a few months anyway) because I won’t be able to eat what everyone else is eating but I’d still like to keep things healthy for them.
My DDs are 11 and 14 so there is no way I can ask them to cook every night and my DH works. I suspect if I leave them to their own devices it will be frozen pizza or takeaway every night!
Has anyone had a similar experience? Any pearls of wisdom for me?
