Bored With Food So Not Eating..



Recommended Posts

Lately I been so bored with everything. I can't look at another piece of chicken or fish or lunch meat. I tried buying different kinds but I am still bored with everything so I barely been eating. Is this just a phase and it will pass to not worry or should I start to worry?? I mean I am barely getting 300 calories a day and that is coming from 2 Protein Shakes and some cheese strings. The only thing I am not bored with.

Thank you.

Have you tried to make a casserole with some Pasta, meat, veggies. I have made some with putting in a little pasta, cut up ham, peas or mixed veggies and some condensed cream of celery Soup. I have also made one with ham, Beans and cream of mushroom soup. I have also made some sausage, noodles and cream of chicken soup. With some onion and spices added to them they are not bad. You can also use Tomato sauce instead of the cream of chicken Soups. You could also try some chili with beans or make your own with beans and hamburger. I know that someone on here has a site for receipes and I hope that they see your post and share.

I know that if you are just sitting down to eat some plain sliced meat it can get boring fast.

I hope that this will help you a little. You said that you are having 2 shakes and only getting 200 calories in both. Are you mixing them with Water or are you using milk. With the milk you will increase the Protein and Calcium in one shot. Also try some soups and add extra meat to whatever type of soup your choose.

There are lots of great recipe sites for different ways to cook chicken and beef. You can cut the recipes in half so they don't make so much, and you'll probably still end up with leftovers for other meals (or lunches). I've found that being creative with various recipes keeps me from getting bored.

Go check out theworldaccordingtoeggface.com she has tons of recipes for all phases. One of my current favorites is refried Beans scrambled with egg and cheese topped with hot sauce. You could make mini casseroles - put your Protein in the bottom, top with a tablespoon or so of cream Soup, then add cheese, heat until warm. Or protein in bottom, add refried beans, top with cheese, heat until warm top with hot sauce. Yum!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
