Need to excite my meals. I hate eating such a waste of time for 3 bites.

My fear I guess is eating and liking food to much again.

I do my shakes for Breakfast mon-fri, it is convenient and I need them for the gym, I do a light lunch at work every other day, and I try variety at dinner, I also don't have Snacks everyday, 3 or 4 times a week only and I have 1oz portions of things like Jerky, cashews, trail mix, or cheese, I don't miss sweets so I can stay away, I also learned to stir fry, and bought an indoor grill, I only cheat once a month, and work out for an hour and a half to two hours at my gym 3x a week, I started in January at 388lbs, on my surgery day June 10th I was 346lbs, today I am at 292lbs with 98lbs to go, I hope this helps.........

So it sounds like you want to change things up, but on the other hand, you are afraid that if you do, you might eat too much.

I would suggest trying different Proteins at lunch and supper time. Grill, bake, broil, or saute your meats using different spice blends and fresh herbs. Perhaps some homemade bean Soup (can add ground turkey or lean ground beef) would be a good substitute at lunch. Instead of the 1/2 banana, eat some fresh berries or a small apple some days just to switch things up a bit.

I think you are just getting tired of the routine of eating. Mixing things up might make a difference.

Thank you all some really good ideas

Typically the less weight you have to lose, the slower the weight loss may be. It might help you if you do some meal planning . This way you can add some variety and increase your Protein intake.
