I'm 1 week post op and so far this has been a very hard wk. The hardest thing for me is watching TV! I see these food commercials and I go through an emotional roller coaster. I know I'm not physically hungry but I'm so head hungry! Is this my food addiction or me breaking habits? I feel broken

I am almost 2 weeks out, and I can't agree more about the food commercials!! I call it 'food porn', because that's really what it is. We all know nothing at Applebees actually looks that good! We know Red Lobsters Lobster tails aren't really that big! I have gotten into the habit of using my DVR more. I just fast forward through all commercials, so I don't have to look at them! I know it's head hunger, I also know for myself I couldn't have possibly gotten this big if I didn't have a food addiction. I am stead fast to doing this, and I will prevail! Good luck to you! I also find it helps if I am watching something particularly juicy, like a Carls Jr. commercial, I take a sip of my water, and soon enough the commercial is gone and I can realize I am doing good by getting my fliuds in! Good luck, you can beat the Food Porn Addiction!!

I know that to be successful myself I will need to do something more. Either Overeaters Anonymous, some type of counseling, or support group. This issue with weight I believe, is more than a physical difficulty.

Yes, I'm currently looking for a support group. Today was a good day, I was able to get some good soup down and I felt satisfied. Oh and believe me I'm recording everything on my DVR...lol

Thats great, I bet it gets better every day

I am going through this now, I am about 1 week out & my head is driving me crazy.
