Watching food commercials is the same as watching people eat at a resturant......REPULSIVE!

I won't say I hate food, but I put it way down on my list as things I need to concern myself with.

You know what really grosses me out is the nutritional info from restaurants its like "omg I used to eat that crap?"

Food commercials gross me out too.

The KFC pot pie commercial and the Denny's are my least favorite ones! Gross.

Funny though, the commercial for cinnamon toast crunch cereal makes me crave a bowl of that cereal every time!!!!

I guess I'm the odd man out. Most of the food commercials on tv make me want whatever it is that they're selling. Espcecially the MnM's. When I had my band 2 1/2 yrs ago, I remember spending the nite in the hospital watching tv. On it was an MM's commercial. I remember telling myself that that would be the first real food I'd have when my liquid diet was over in 4 weeks. It wasn't - but it was one of the firsts! The Olive Garden commericials are among the worst.

Food porn! I hate it but I used to hate it for temptation and now I hate it because its disgusting! The people biting into a huge sloppy burger makes my stomach lurch! Watching people in a restaurant put food in their already-full mouths makes me have to look away!

Red lobster is killin me with their commercials!!

I guess I am just weird, but after I was Banded I started watching the food Network. Oh and Cake Boss and all of those . . . and the one where the guy goes around trying to break food contests like eating 20 oz steak or world largest hamburger plus fries.

I guess since I couldn't eat it I wanted to watch it. But it didn't seem to make me have cravings. I still watch cupcake wars and cake boss. Maybe I am weird. Or just checking in on my old neighborhood!!!

I like watching that guy that goes to different places and gets the biggest hittest stuff to eat. But sometimes it hard to stomach just watching it. But some if looks tasty (for maybe two bites)

Me too. I do not know how he eats all that stuff and is not as big as a house. Hate to see his blood work though. pizza commercials do bother me. But I can not do pizza no matter how small the bites are or how slow I go.

The lapband has not cured my love for food. If anything, I think I enjoy it more now that I take my time to eat it instead of inhaling it! The week after surgery all I watched was the food channel, and I still enjoy cooking shows now. I wish the band was around my head as well, but it isn't!

Im on an all liquid diet until my surgery on Thursday and it has made me realize how many food commercials there are! I also noticed how much everyone at work talks about food! It has been really hard!
