Bored With Food

[BlueDiamond 1]

I tend to get bored with food. I need some Protein ideas that are tasty!

I would like some that are tasty, easy and family friendly!

I'm still pre-op but EmilyBites has some good recipes. I think it's emilybites.com...Google it :-)

[Back~To~Amy 307]

Yes. Emily has some good recipes. There is also a lot of Protein recipes on Pinterest.

I no longer enjoy food. I eat for nourishment, alone. I suppose I will have to do something to make sure I get in a sufficient number of calories and Proteins. sigh...

food is fuel, nothing more, a bit of variety just keeps it tolerable.

Fuel food...Tolerable Food...Can it be in a package of Tasty food? Just asking.

If we're going to have to eat it, at least give it some taste that is not tasting the same all the time.

A variety is all we are looking for (at least I am) :tongue2:

Everything tastes bad now. I'm so discouraged. I prepare food that seems like I want and then taste and ack it taste gross.

I've started a page on my blog that consolidates all my fave recipes. Maybe worth a skim to see if anything catches your eye? Almost all of the recipes have pics and nutritional info if you're curious. http://gastricsleeve4me.blogspot.com/p/solid-food-stage.html

I am a 'recipe collector' - I tend to graze at night and my way to get out of that habit is instead to look for new recipes and drink more Water. I keep a notebook of new recipes and once we have them, if they are deemed 'do overs' then they get transcribed to a 3 ring binder that is going to be my 'go to recipes.'

Some great sites for recipes are:

http://www.emilybites.com/

http://theworldaccor...e.blogspot.com/

kalynskitchen.com

skinnytaste.com

cookinglight.com

myfitnesspal.com (look in the community section, they have recipe threads and suggestions there)

and any weight watchers sites - just be cognizant of any non-bariatric site, that you have to pay attn to the carbs and what not.

I have some other sites bookmarked in my netbook, but I hope some of these will help you!

Feel free to add me on MFP and I publicize my diaries. Anything you see on there, I'll send you the recipe if you want it.

And many ppl who said "food is just blah/nourishment only to me now" yes, I agree with you. I struggle with it many a times, but let's change that perspective. Challenge yourself with new recipes, new plates (hey alot of eating is the environment/appearance of things), new cooking utensils (who all has a wok? who knows how to really use it? can you make a sludge? eggface introduced me to that!).

It's all about perspective people. When you are feeling blah, it's time to reach out for motivation and we'll pull you out of that as we have to eat every day. Let's make it fun, low calorie, healthy and move on to goal!

Best of luck! xx
