10 weeks out and don't feel like eating...

[karpouzian 94]

I'm about 10 weeks out, and I just don't feel like eating lately - anything except for greek yogurt and sugar free popsicles...

Any other suggestions on what to 'eat'? I can't cope with Protein shakes.... Maybe I should go back on soft/mushies...

I don't suggest you go back to mushies. The slider foods can be a trap, and lead back to bad habits like overeating (sliders can mean you can eat more of them)

Are you depressed, by chance? Are you working out and getting and endorphin rush? Have you tried different concoctions of Protein drinks? Bariatric Foodie has a bunch of recipes.

Without the hunger hormone (or with less of it) I have trouble deciding what to eat and what I want, and don't crave as much. Have you tried more spices? You need to make sure you keep your Protein up!

Try a new recipe with something different and some spice, and kind of force yourself (not over fill yourself, but force yourself to try) and see how it goes?

Good luck!

Strangely, maybe this (in part) how "normal people" are? In any case, I plan my meals pretty closely and work HARD to eat to live rather than live to eat. Start with things similar to yogurt like cottage cheest, and work to tuna, canned chicken, canned ham. Just plan it and eat it whether you 'crave' it or not... and best of luck on this journey!!!

Yes, I think this "eating to live" thing, with snack as a noun rather than a verb is new to many of us. Carry some foods with you that are quick to eat--can you eat nuts yet? You don't need many of them to get in some necessary Protein and Omega 3 fats. Otherwise, exercise may trigger some hunger in your body. The many hormones in the human body are astounding.
