I no longer enjoy food. I eat for nourishment, alone. I suppose I will have to do something to make sure I get in a sufficient number of calories and Proteins. sigh...

food is fuel, nothing more, a bit of variety just keeps it tolerable.

Fuel food...Tolerable Food...Can it be in a package of Tasty food? Just asking.

If we're going to have to eat it, at least give it some taste that is not tasting the same all the time.

A variety is all we are looking for (at least I am) B):rolleyes: :tongue2:

I've started a page on my blog that consolidates all my fave recipes. Maybe worth a skim to see if anything catches your eye? Almost all of the recipes have pics and nutritional info if you're curious. http://gastricsleeve4me.blogspot.com/p/solid-food-stage.html

I am a 'recipe collector' - I tend to graze at night and my way to get out of that habit is instead to look for new recipes and drink more Water. I keep a notebook of new recipes and once we have them, if they are deemed 'do overs' then they get transcribed to a 3 ring binder that is going to be my 'go to recipes.'

Some great sites for recipes are:

http://www.emilybites.com/

http://theworldaccor...e.blogspot.com/

kalynskitchen.com

skinnytaste.com

cookinglight.com

myfitnesspal.com (look in the community section, they have recipe threads and suggestions there)

and any weight watchers sites - just be cognizant of any non-bariatric site, that you have to pay attn to the carbs and what not.

I have some other sites bookmarked in my netbook, but I hope some of these will help you!

Feel free to add me on MFP and I publicize my diaries. Anything you see on there, I'll send you the recipe if you want it.

And many ppl who said "food is just blah/nourishment only to me now" yes, I agree with you. I struggle with it many a times, but let's change that perspective. Challenge yourself with new recipes, new plates (hey alot of eating is the environment/appearance of things), new cooking utensils (who all has a wok? who knows how to really use it? can you make a sludge? :) eggface introduced me to that!).

It's all about perspective people. When you are feeling blah, it's time to reach out for motivation and we'll pull you out of that as we have to eat every day. Let's make it fun, low calorie, healthy and move on to goal!

Best of luck! xx

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
