Do you avoid any TV shows now that you have had the sleeve?

When I watch anything with food, it causes my head hunger to go crazy. Hopefully this will go away when I get to eat real food again!

I have that same problem right now. I start craving things I never even used to eat, like hot wings (why?!!!).... but I am not really eating real food yet either (still on mushies).

My aversion to cooking shows cleared up around months 3-4. I get uncomfortable thinking about all the food Adam Richmond is slamming down his throat on Man Vs food though. Heck I was watching Anthony Bordain on No Reservations and he was just eating "normal man sized" portions and I got off track thinking it was a good thing I didn't have a job as a food show host or I would surely offend some great chefs by leaving my plate full.

If there were a way to just get certain channels and not have to buy all of them, I would get cable when I return to the States.

For some reason the food Porn (aka Food Network) soothes my head hunger. Maybe it soothes the subconcious anxiety that worried I wouldn't be able to participate in beautiful food again. I am just as satisfied by watching the Food Porn as I would be by eating. Diner Drive-Ins & Dives is my favorite, Giada of course is wonderful, and I was bummed to hear that my favorite cake show Ace of Cakes was cancelled. I don't care for all the gimmicky shows and competitions (except for Iron chef) or Paula Dean. Oh I almost forgot the best for creativity and thinking - Good Eats!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
