The Doldrums

aka, Blahville! I am there today, big time! Trying to shake it off and be in a better mood but just not feeling it much at all. Here's what I posted on the Bariatric Eating 101 site:


Ugh, feeing kind of blah today. I'm only 9 days out from my sleeve surgery and all is going well but I'm bored! I was so excited to try soups when I was cleared for full liquids but man...I open one can and have to eat it for the next 4+ meals bc of the small volume I can consume. I have a large can of vanilla protein powder to make my way through and I'm sick of that too. Our budget isn't such that we can afford to just throw away food we've already purchased. I plan to try Inspire soon but can't do that quite yet, financially speaking. I've looked at recipes online but they all seem to be geared for more advanced food stages. My bari nutritionist gave me a nifty recipe book but all the smoothies that are for my stage seem to include bananas and other high carb fruits. What's up with that?? I'm trying to train my brain correctly from the beginning and don't really want to get into the habit of eating banana-packed smoothies. I guess this is all part of the process, I don't know. Sorry for the long post. I'm just kind of down in the dumps today and not really feeling like eating much of anything bc it all sounds the same.


There were some good replies there, including one recipe for idahoian potatoes made with chicken broth that I think I'll try. Hope this fog lifts soon, probably getting out and about would help.  


Maybe I'll go for a walk...
