3 months out, need help with food pleeeaaaase!

[Soma 1]

Hi guys,

I am bored of the food, dunno what to eat anymore.... All fish taste like rotten liquid egg yolk to me now... chicken taste like chalk, and beef is still my favorite (thank God that did not change,lol)

I wanna start adding flavors to my dishes... Food has been very bland the past 3-4 months.... Can I have lemon/lime on my food... Spices, apple cider vinegar or white vinegar. Spices like paprika, garlic powder, chilli powder, etc.....

I can fit in 5 ounce of soft food, 3-4 ounce of hard food like meat and rice... I weigh my food always to control my intake....

Greasy food makes me feel so bad for a couple of hours... Pretty much anything fried does that too me...

Please help me make this situation bearable cause it becoming frustrating and depressing

HELP!

I personally have been adding spices, herbs, salsas and hot sauces to my food since basically day one. Get creative with your food try different low carb recipes add lots of different flavor, I am 4 months out and have never felt deprived or bored with my food. If you're afraid of it hurting your stomach then only add a little at first, but for me spice and seasoning never upset my sleeve. Good luck!

I agree. If you can handle beef, you can spice it up. The only thing that has caused me problems is dairy.

There are some great recipe ideas on Pinterest. Serch for VSG recipes. Lots of greaat ideas and most are very simple like adding hot sauce and blue cheeze sprinkles to chicken salad for a "hot wings" salad! Good luck!

I love fajitas. I just don't eat a tortilla with it to keep carbs down

I am only 3 weeks post-op and have been adding spices to my pureed foods - like cilantro, garlic powder, cumin, etc. to my fat free refried Beans. I had roasted garlic hummus today with no issues. (I have even used a siracha dried spice I found a couple of times in small amounts.) Definitely use your spices! Just start light and see how you do before making it too spicy.

If you don't like to cook, go to Panda Express. Get some chicken and green Beans or chicken and mushroom or some of their beef dishes. Made well, Protein there, not too many calories when you consider how much we can (can't) eat.
