Write down a realistic but achievable set of tasks/subtasks at the start of the day. Start them, when it's time for lunch, take 1.5 hours and do something totally not work. A nap, a run, a swim something active and restorative. Then go back to work, and you'll finish you're list probably before the end of the day.
If you don't, resize you're list untill you can steal away a 1.5 hour lunch break each day. If you're doing something like hitting the gym or running you'll find you have a lot more energy and generally feel better. That may not solve the problem of liking your work, but you'll at least be in good shape and rested to deal with it.
If anyone calls you out on the long lunch breaks, just cancel / don't attend meetings to make up for missed time. and block book weeks and months of calander time out with complex sounding meetings no one is invited to.
Give yourself space. You're probably still burnt out a bit.
