How do you overcome the food blahs?

I am 6 weeks post-op and have lost 30 pounds. Even though this isn't as fast as some, I am satisfied with the loss (even though I could exercise a little more). I've been eating soft foods for about two weeks. I haven't found anything I can't tolerate, and am able to enjoy all meats, breads, dairy, etc. I have not eaten anything I'm not supposed to such as sweets, so I'm very comfortable with my change in eating behavior. I don't miss the sweets or the overeating. However, I am finding that I am sooooo tired of pushing protien! If I make something for dinner, I don't want it for leftovers the next day. Food isn't appealing to me much and I find myself waiting until 2 or 3 in the afternoon to eat only because I start getting headachy and hungry. If I make something to eat, I eat only about 1/2 of it and throw it away. I am tired of yogurt and eggs and protein drinks and chicken and tuna. Somedays, I think I'd be happy just drinking water. I know that my reluctance to eat on a schedule just caused a two week plateau and as soon as I started writing everything down and hitting my goal for protein and water, the plateau broke. So, I was wondering if anybody else feels this way and at what point does it get better? I don't want to go through another plateau!
