I am a week post op. I'm following the structured plan from my surgeon. But, I'm home for a few weeks recovering and these food commercials are EVERYWHERE! I really hope that someday soon they won't bother me. I know that I cannot eat any of the stuff in these commercials. I'm a week post op! I could really do some serious damage if I even tried. But, I bet there are people out there who lost the battle of wills and ate the junk on the commercial. And, that makes me so sad, and furious at the same time. I think I will stop watching tv, and switch to Netflix. There are no commercials on Netflix.

Try muting the TV during commercials and look away. Also, if you have a DVR, don't watch anything live, so you can fast forward through the ads. The good news is that if you stick faithfully to your program, in a few weeks they won't bother you as much. Once we detox our bodies (and our minds) from all the crap, it doesn't call to us like it used to.

I'm 6 days post op and I feel the same way about the commercials. It's normal. Fight the urge. You can get through it.

I can ONLY watch it, if my belly is full! lol
