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.

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!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
