6 week boredom. How to deal?



Recommended Posts

I'm in my 6th week. I still cook for the family. Family is still going out to eat and I'm pretending everything is okay. I'm losing weight (slowly) but I'm beginning to want old foods, meals that the family eats. I eat my Protein and few bites of veggies but feels weird. I do self-talk and quickly try to remove myself. I guess honestly, I feel like I'm missing out. Maybe it's time to expand meal choices maybe?

My meal plan allows for 3:1 protein:carbs up to 25 mg of any carb of my choice.

I generally stick with low calorie choices but have a bit or two of potatoes or yams and once a 1 cubic inch piece of peach pie that I ate very slowly with a baby spoon and really enjoyed.

We at out often. I try to drink 16 oz of iced lemon Water before the food arrives then have a cup of Soup and take the 1-2 oz of food off my husband's plate. Working ok so far except he sometimes has to order gravy/sauce

@@show1980 I think it's easy to get bored with food early on, but I kind of like the lack of variety that I can get by with, honestly. When I cook now, I'm cooking very basic protein/veg meals, with no starch included unless one of the family wants to make rice or something. Grilled chicken with sauteed kale/onions/garlic was dinner last night, tonight will be zoodles with spaghetti sauce which has turned out to be a popular Pasta stand-in. I make pork tenderloin with chard, steak with mushrooms, etc. and let them add a starch in as they want, like oven roasted potatoes/sweet potatoes or butternut squash.

These are good ideas. I think I'm not yet settled in my changes yet. I will try these.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
