I cooked today!

I cooked breakfast for my son this morning. Because of all the snow I can't walk outside so I wanted to move around. I offered to cook and of course he said no go rest! But I wanted to and I made him pancakes, homefries and sausage! I didn't have any desire to have any of it!

Good girl!  And moving around as you feel able will help with the healing.  Don't overdo, and treat yourself well.

It's so nice to get back to doing all the normal things after surgery.  I'm amazed at how my sense of smell has changed already.  Hubby made bacon and eggs for the kids this past weekend and all I could smell was the fat in the bacon and it was disgusting.  Who would have ever thought I wouldn't like the smell of bacon cooking!? 

That's awesome!  I'm impressed you didn't want any. I haven't lost the desire for food bit I've lost the hunger that drove the compulsion to fruition so I can resist and that's amazing in and of itself. Yesterday was my mom's birthday and I definitely wanted the caramel cake but I cut it for everyone and washed my hands instead of licking my fingers and that's a win! I've promised myself no cake during loss and I passed the first test.

That is an awesome  way to put it.  Im the same way  lost all hunger, but the desire is still there.  Im gonna steal that! 

Thanks. Glad is not just me!

Before my surgery ( 12-28 ) I told hubby, he was gonna need to fend for himself ( he can't boil water ) since I wasn't going to be cooking all the good crap I couldn't eat.  About a week into my recovery, I started cooking and haven't stopped since I have no appetite and even when the food looks really really good, I would never jeopardize slinky ( my name for my sleeve ) by consuming something not on my plan. Hubby is very appreciative of my cooking so he is doing all the laundry and vacuuming for me.  Good luck with your sleeve and recovery.
