As for food goes, has anyone else had a time where you are planning on eating something but are not sure what it's going to be?

It happens to me on occasion, like today, I am ok with all food, but it's not striking you and your thoughts about it thinking about what you want to eat? Wondering. I eventually get something that I'll be ok with, but what are your thoughts?

Yes, it's common for people with epilepsy to experience indecision around meals. As the MyEpilepsyTeam member shared, keeping a seizure journal can help identify if certain foods tend to trigger seizures. If a pattern emerges, avoiding those foods may help. Otherwise, listen to your body and choose foods that appeal and provide steady energy. When you can't decide what to eat, opt for balanced meals with protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs to maintain stable blood sugar. Smaller, frequent meals may also prevent drops in blood sugar that can trigger seizures for some.
