The entire time I was off from work after me procedure all I did was watch food network, cooking channel, and man vs food :)

My hubby thought I lost my mind watching food I could not eat

My two older boys, ages 5 and 7 will scream out "it's Bobby Flay!" or "it's Freitag!" if they see his or her picture on a magazine at the store. It's so funny, because they don't know any TV or movie stars. Just famous chefs.

Some call it food porn, but I still like to cook, even of I can't eat it for a while. Can't wait to be able to be satisfied with just a taste of something.

A good friend of mine was on Sugar Dome. I watch Triple D and Chopped. Heck I'm a chef, so if working around food doesn't bother me, watching it sure won't

All I watch is food channels, my husband thinks I'm obssessed! At the beggining of my journey it helped with the cravings.

Ha ha

I'm the same... I really enjoy watching all food shows. I'm a vegetarian but still enjoy the meat cooking too. I get tempted for a short bit and then it passes. But I do want to get to 6 months to know how different it'll be. I'm only 6 weeks

I watch as well...why??? Because I will have to cook more. I don't have to add all the butter and flour and extra calories, but I can use some of the tips to make healthy meals.

food Porn...pishaw!! Not even. I look for ways that will be helpful to me and that I can adapt for my 'Reset' lifestyle.

Can't wait to buy a stovetop smoker. Where did I get the idea...Food Network. Can't wait to try new sauce on my Salmon, Tilapia and Shrimp...where did I get the idea??? You got it....and lastly, I cannot wait until I try my smoked salmon burger. All compliments of me watching something that I watched pre surgery.

Have fun, create new ideas OR just have fun watching!

I watched for a week straight right after surgery, even googled restaurant menus. I definitely mourned food for a few days post op but then I got over it as I started purees and more normal food. Now I am loving the will power my sleeve and my modest weight lose are giving me. I still love looking at food porn occasionally. It is food porn for me because I don't cook!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
