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!!

      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!!
