Post Ops, What Are Your Food Rituals?

I am five months post op and have noticed that the more "ritualistic" I can make eating the happier I am. In other words, I always eat at the same time, always prepare my lunch for the next day as soon as I get home, as much as possible eat the same things (dull, I know!), make up a new protein shake to keep in the fridge as soon as I drink the last one, drink precisely 12 oz. of water on the way in to work, etc. The only problem with this is that I kind of freak out when my routine is disrupted, but I try to keep that to a minimum. What are your food rituals? Do you find having a routine helps you or makes you bored?
