Dont watch it!! before surgery my husband and I would watch the food network and the DIY network all weekend..and I know how hungry it would make me and it always made me want to eat..Im the same way with looking at cookbooks...so I do not allow foodnetwork on in my home anymore and even though I bought about 4 weight loss surgery cookbooks, I havnt opened them yet!! sounds kinda extreme but these are my triggers to want to eat and make myself hungry:) or think Im hungry...

Odd thing is for me, watching the Food network doesn't make me hungry...those darn food comercials now are another story. LOL

I dunno why you're doing that to yourself, but you're not the only one.

At the gym I go to, there's a bank of televisions in front of the treadmills and one guy comes in to run and watches food network while he's doing it.

Drives me NUTS.. LOL. But maybe you could try something like that.. only let yourself watch if you exercise while watching. Wouldn't have to be a treadmil.. could get dumbbells (or even big cans of veggies) and do bicep curls.

Before I got my first fill, all I did was watch shows about food! I guess because food was on my mind every waking hour!

My mom would say why are you watching all those food shows....I just said "wishfull watching":cool:

This post actually made me laugh outloud when I saw it. I'm about 2 weeks post op and that is all I want to watch....cooking shows!!! The strange thing is that I'm not hungry when I watch it and I'm not finding that it's making me hungry at all..... but I just enjoy watching it now and seeing all the food. Strange huh? I'm glad to see I"m not the only person that has found themselves doing this lol

I've got this problem, too. I even watch "Man vs. Food" on the Travel channel. My husband just teases me that I'm trying to figure out how many days it would take me to eat some of that stuff. Last night, Adam was trying to eat a 7 lb Italian dinner. My husband said that I would probably take me until Christmas to finish it.

My son has a better idea...he wants to create "Band vs. Food" Here's the premise...you get a bunch of banders together and see how many bites of whatever they can get down and then they have a contest to see how fast they can get rid of the rest of the meal. I'm sure we can work out the details later, but I know I'd watch it.

Gotta go...it's time for another episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives....

Try living with a professional chef...and our business Professor Chef (we run cooking classes!) Food Network and Cooking Channel on most of the time - surrounded by cookbooks - entering cooking contests - testing recipes. Now for the good news, I'm doing well with my band and he is losing without a band! I HAD to change my diet and had HAD to come along with me. I have lost 19lbs since surgery on Jult 15th he has lost 25 lbs!

You are not alone...I do the same thing. I actually get enjoyment out of it...I know it's crazy. Lately I seem to keep catching Cupcake Wars, lol

:thumbup:

OMG I'm addicted to Food Network TOO! Before banding we looked at it alot...I was banded two weeks ago and now I look at Man vs. Food like its PORN! I think about how the food would taste...how much I would LOOOVE to have it live in my belly with its gooey cheezy goodness! I feel like they're training me to be ANOREXIC! I am praying I can stay on track till I get upgraded to mushies!

I am more than a year out and I love the food network. I do not know why but I love Cake Boss and I sit here and watch it knowing I can not eat cake. Funny!!

I am with you on the "cake boss" I just love that show. I mostly love Anthony Bourdain "No reservations" He is one hottie, and the food is most excellent! If you are going to dream.....dream big!
