I am pre-op, but have read on here about people (after having surgery) wanting to

cook elaborate meals for their families with the very best ingredients. I was just wondering (since I don't hardly feel like cooking now) will I feel differently after surgery. What I mean is after surgery, do you all feel that you have more energy and enjoy cooking more? I hate to admit it, but with working nightshift and sleeping up and down during the day, I don't have a lot of energy for cooking a lot.I used to LOVE cooking. I feel guilty for not feeding my family meat, 2 veg and a salad for supper like I was fed growing up. Our meals lately have consisted of lots of fast food, and restaurant meals where I insist they eat veg. Also, do you now cook for the family, and just eat what protein (1st and some veg) and other things that we can have? I mean say if you made fish, slaw, mac and cheese, and green beans - after surgery are we just supposed to eat the fish and some green beans. Does this make sense? Sorry to be so long, but I was thinking/hoping I will feel like cooking more after surgery. Thanks for all answers!!
