Re: I agree with R

Wow, you are so lucky that you're cravings are gone! I know the third day is the hardest, fourth day was easier, but I am on day 9 and I still catch myself salivating over food commercials and fantasizing about the meals I will eat when I am done! LOL!

In regards to the cooking question:
I also cook for my family, and I actually enjoy it very much. I feel like a chef! I don't dare taste the food, or I know I too would eat it. But I cook things that follow recipes directly, so the flavor is right, and I also cook things that I have previously made in the past so I know I can get the taste somewhat the way it was the last time I made it.
I love smelling the food I cook, and it makes me happy to see my family enjoying a meal I made, that I didn't even taste!
Hang in there, and soon you will be enjoying those meals with your family again!

HTH!
