Wow this is so funny! I love food Network, but in the past week since my surgery I have been watching it every day! Luckily hasn't caused any cravings..... Yet

Yes, I love food Network and the food related shows on Travel Channel. Although I get food cravings watching these shows, they have helped me make my fish (salmon, tilapia, cod) more appetizing. I absolutely love fish now and easily get most of my Protein requirement from it.

You know, I think it's taught me a lot about spices and flavor combinations that make my food taste incredible without making them bad choices. Also, just because we had WLS doesn't mean we can't enjoy cooking and food, we just have to adjust for our new lifestyles.

So glad I'm not the only one.

Same here! I told my mom that it is sort of like a bad breakup where I can't stop going through old pictures!

Lol me too I have been doing the same thing. Had surgery two days ago and while on preop liquid diet I struggled seeing people eating in front of me but post surgery I don't even mind. It's weird

I realized one day last week that I was running on the treadmill at the gym while watching "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives", and the cognitive dissonance nearly made me fall off. I switched to HGTV instead. House porn is way better than food porn anyway. :D

Guy Fieri is my weakness. I watch Diners, Drive Ins and Dives on Netflix constantly. My husband hates the man. He jokingly ask if I watch it to see him or the show. I am not much on the food network other than that. The week I was home postop I watched my 600 lb life on TLC. Talk about being horrified. I think it scared me into sticking to the diet.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
