I hope this is of some help. I did all of the holiday season at only 2 & 3 months post op last year and really didn't run into any problems preparing things. I just kept in mind that I could cook for others, and then have some things I could have, and not worry about it.
Good luck! :)

I'm in agreement with Cindy. I too dealt with this as well newly post-op and I ate what *I* needed to and my family had their regular fixin's. The next year and years since its neat how my sis and family have implemented more weight friendly recipes. Its by changing sugar to Splenda for baking (not a fan of Splenda), using herbs instead of heavy oils, fats etc to season. Sugar free this and that or no sugar added. For me, portion control is important. That too has rubbed off on my family (for the most part). I wish you the best in cooking this year. I bet it'll be phenomenol!

Thankful for the easy, grateful for the hard & hopeful for tomorrow.
Early out for me I made my meal seperate and cooked regular for the family. Now...I cook whatever. There are three meals every year that I do not "watch what I eat"...Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. I do cook as friendly as possible for me and the family enjoys it, too. Over time I have adapted many recipes...let me know what types of things you are looking for and I probably have a receipe or two for you....cooking and baking is one of my absolute fav things to do!

I can and do make all of the deserts sugar free or no sugar added if I have the time to bake from scratch. The pumpkin fluff is perfect for me and all I really like so I usually just make that for me and the rest for the other family members and guests!
