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!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
