I'm so lost I look up recipes from sites suggested on here but I'm so tired of trying to figure out what to eat or tired of the same thing I just don't eat any suggestion for breakfast lunch and dinner even snacks I'm at a stall also I hats it sleeved Sept 24th down 50 pounds

Oh boy, I feel ya! I'm not even sleeved yet but I know how hard it is to decide what the hell to cook and eat. It's especially hard when you're not even hungry and NOTHING sounds good. Sorry I don't have any suggestions, but I hope you discover something soon to get you through this. Good luck!

I don't know how far out you are, but you sound like what was the "doldrums" as far as eating and food. I didn't have problems, but just had no interest in food. It was like, "why bother". Those are also the months when you lose the most weight, so that is the upside!

I personally found success by eating 4-5 small mini meals per day. Here are a few "meal" ideas:

- 4 or 5 ounces Greek yogurt

- 2-3 ounce of grilled chicken breast (maybe make a lettuce wrap!)

- 1/2 cup trim cottage cheese with some pineapple chunks

- beef or turkey Jerky

- chicken or tuna salad on lettuce or maybe a half sandwich

- deli meat and cheese slice

- AmyLu's chicken meatballs, even some of the sausages are good moderate calorie Protein choices. I buy them at costco

- egg and a thin slice of ham

Hummus on whole grain crackers.

Grilled chicken with sweet potato.

Beef stew with carrots and onions.

Peanut butter on celery or apples.

Tuna salad with tomato slices.

Grilled salmon with sauteed zucchini.

Lemon pepper catfish with asparagus.

Red beans and rice with turkey sausage.

Steamed broccoli with low fat cheese and lean butterfly porkchop.

Stir fried shrimp with snow peas.

I like this thread! I was circulating the same meals too, and a lot of times I feel the same way, why even bother to eat. Thanks for posting this, and thanks for the meal ideas

To add to the list, I also like to eat Kashi go lean cereal in my Greek yogurt.

Hummus mixed with a crumbled boiled egg, season it so it's like egg salad, cause low-fat mayo is gross to me.

Turkey sausage and eggs

Weight Control Oatmeal

Baked Tilapia with steamed green beans

Hummus on whole grain crackers.

Grilled chicken with sweet potato.

Beef stew with carrots and onions.

Peanut Butter on celery or apples.

Tuna salad with tomato slices.

Grilled salmon with sauteed zucchini.

Lemon pepper catfish with asparagus.

Red Beans and rice with turkey sausage.

Steamed broccoli with low fat cheese and lean butterfly porkchop.

Stir fried shrimp with snow peas.

I am coming over to your house!

I too struggle with what to eat or at least the "variety" part of it.

I am 4 weeks out... what I have stocked in my fridge is this:

Greek Yogurt

String cheese

RF Colby Jack Cheese sticks

Tuna ( usually mixed with mustart or LF Mayo)

SF Popsicles

eggs (usually scrambled w/cheese and bits of ham)

Protein drinks

powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup

SF Jello

I'm at the point where I'd like something different. Cheese is probably my most FAVORITE thing to eat right now... it's so easy to eat and sits really well in my stomach. BUT I believe this probably isn't the best thing for me to be eating.

I would LOVE suggestions on variety and other things.....

I'm also about four weeks out (10/25 was my surgery date) and I'm a picky eater that wants variety.

Some things I've tried-

Fat-free cottage cheese w/ reduced-fat shredded cheese and MrsDash

Baked veggies with chicken stock (think meatless roast)

Tuna (canned) with Greek yogurt, a diced baby dill pickle, diced celery, diced carrot, and cracked pepper (the pickle and the veggies totaled a tbsp to my 3oz of tuna- I stored the leftover diced veggies for later use)

Oatmeal (the heart healthy, sugar-free kind from Quaker, Maple Brown sugar flavor) with Greek yogurt

Chicken (canned) with diced cucumber, Greek yogurt, and MrsDash

Tilapia with vegetables (red potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and mushrooms) topped with lemon slices and MrsDash then baked.

Fat-free refried Beans, reduced-fat Colby Jack cheese and Pace picante sauce topped with fat-free Greek yogurt

I hope this helps give you some ideas! And best of luck to you!

Reading OneWritersSoul I remember that I loved eating canned tuna mixed with low fat cottage cheese during that food stage. It really felt like "real food." It was filling and tasted SO good after all of that liquid stuff.

I feel the same way - first off, I have no desire to eat. My husband has to remind me to eat. Second, if I cook something, there is so much left over it seems so wasteful. I tend to eat the same stuff over and over. I do get depressed a bit. matter of fact, my husband and friend went out to dinner tonight - I passed because I knew I couldn't sit through watching them eat.....

oh also, I'm afraid I'm not getting all my fluids and protien in - it is so hard!

i want to thank everybody i got some great ideas i think this process is a hard i went from eating what the hell i want to trying to figure out basic breakfast lunch and dinner as time go on it will get better i know im 3 months out and i know it only get better i wish the best for everyone i use premier protein shakes from sams club after spending 100's on others its pretty good i love chicken so i broil chicken in the pot with the flavor cubes oh so good omg i eat alot of those steamed veggies for snacks but thanks again if u come up with more things as time goes on feel free to add it helps everyone out

I start stage 3 (soft foods/mushies) tomorrow. I have no clue what to eat. The only things I can think of are scrambled egg whites or egg beaters, tuna salad w/very little lite mayo, cottage cheese (already having this), part skim ricotta (just started having this), and soft cheeses. What else can I have? I am craving salt BADLY. I am totally sweets'd out b/c all the shakes are chocolate or vanilla, etc. I want a pickle. Do you think I will be able to have the inside of a pickle (minus the skin)? What else can I eat in this stage? HELP! Thanks!

This has been helpful for me thanks guys nw I have a variety list nw that am 25 days out or 3 wks out.

I ate a baby dill pickle and drank some of the pickle juice. I'm sure it's an awful thing to confess that, but I'm simply being honest. It took me a bit to eat the pickle but I enjoyed every last tiny nibble!

I too ate a pickle.. I literally got up from watching TV with my boyfriend and I went and drank a few sips of the juice and ate a bite of a pickle... it was the best pickle I have ever had!
