It's very important that you eat the foods appropriate for each stage of your recovery from WLS.

That being said, I do understand how a person could get tired of eating the same old stuff day after day.

One tip to help with food boredom is to start experimenting with different spices.  They can make a huge difference in the flavor of your food. You might want to try doing a Google search for recipes and ideas.

A chef on the Food Network named Ellie Krieger specializes in preparing healthy meals. http://www.foodnetwork.com/ellie-krieger/index.html

There's a poster on the main forum named Eggface who has a recipe blog with WLS-friendly dishes.   I don't have a link to her page, but she posts often and usually has a link in her posts. She's cool. You'll like her.

Hungry Girl is a great website. http://www.hungry-girl.com/   It tells you how to make substitutions for sugary and high fat ingredients so you can eat stuff that tastes good but won't blow you up. Because the page is not specifically designed for post op WLS patients, you would have to double check make sure that all of the ingredients are compatible with your stage of post op eating.

Good luck!

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown

Thank you. It does get boring eating the same things. I find that if I'm tired of food I just skip a meal and that's not good. This would help spice it up a little.

No, skipping meals is not a good thing. Hope this helps.
