I am 5 days post op, and I'm on the liquid diet and I was just wondering if I'm the only person that sees a commercial about pizza or anything else and still wants to eat it, which I know I can't but stiill. it looks good and it makes me hungry

Yes! All the food commercials need to be banned. Especially the ones for Outback Steak House, any restaurant as featuring the newest dessert, and the endless tacos and enchiladas at On The Border.

even a double cheeseburger from McDonalds sounds pretty good.

Not that I can eat more than 4-5 bites

All food still looks good to me, whether I am hungry or not. I miss textures and flavors, but I have been able to resist. At this point, after doing without some of my favorites for so long, even healthy food tastes good.

That urge will never go away. But you will learn that eating the old way and junk we used to eat will hurt.

After being banded 3 1/2 yrs ago, every food that I would see would become my want for my first "real" meal. I'd go to Albertsons 2-3x a week to stock up on tomato Soup and smell the fried chicken in the deli. Thats would be my first meal. Then, I'd drive by Olive Garden and smell the garlic. That would be my first meal. A commercial for Applebees, no THAT would be my first meal.

My first "real" meal was a Burger King cheeseburger and I regret it to this day. Put me on the slippery slope to unhealthy eating. While I lost over 100 lbs, I did so eating tacos, cheeseburgers, and pizza. I just ate very little of them.

Now that my band isn't working, I wish I had learned the art of healthy eating. Looking for a fresh start with the sleeve. This time I will do it right - no cheating!

But yes, I know what you mean about everything looking so good!

Thank- you so much for your comments. I really appreciate them!
