Food Commercials

Do food commercials make you gringe now? I watch some of the commercials and think, that looks good but why is there sooooo much of it.... Funny thing is thinking back to a year ago eating that big plate of food;)

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.

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!

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!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
