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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
