Have you ever just gotten bored with eating?



Recommended Posts

Maybe I should say bored with trying to find something you want to eat.

Tired of chicken, fish, turkey, and eggs. The only red meat I like is ground meat.

Tried Protein Bars for when just nothing sounded good, but those turned out to be (can't think of the term) something that started causing cravings.

I eat greek yogurt for lunches at work.

May just have to make me a chart with meats to eat for that day instead of trying to think of something that sounds good.

trust me you are describing me perfectly except i have a shake for lunch most work days. but yep eating is now getting boring it is no longer something i look forward to. Which i guess is part of how we get past the need to eat for fun or to eat for taste etc. so i understand it. But yep it is very boring lol

Are you making the Proteins with any sort of spices and sauces? Are you combining them with vegetables? Are you using different cooking methods? Most western recipes start with one of those Proteins. I can't imagine how you could get bored of them unless you're just eating them plain.

I find it more difficult to eat out to find something that's worth eating. When I cook my own food, I always look forward to it...but I generally make just what I want.

Yes, spices are the way to go! Think of the type of food you like (Mexican, Asian, Italian...), then go to the grocery and load up on spices for those particular delights. You can research them on the internet if you don't know which ones to buy. I like mixing different spices together to come up with some pretty interesting combinations. You can also find MILLIONS of recipes for ways to use those spices on the internet, I like FoodNetwork. But there are so many sites for recipes, you shouldn't have any trouble. Cooking for me is fun, and you can freeze in individual portions what you don't want to use right away. Just pull out of the freezer, heat and eat!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
