Wow this is so funny! I love food Network, but in the past week since my surgery I have been watching it every day! Luckily hasn't caused any cravings..... Yet

Yes, I love food Network and the food related shows on Travel Channel. Although I get food cravings watching these shows, they have helped me make my fish (salmon, tilapia, cod) more appetizing. I absolutely love fish now and easily get most of my Protein requirement from it.

You know, I think it's taught me a lot about spices and flavor combinations that make my food taste incredible without making them bad choices. Also, just because we had WLS doesn't mean we can't enjoy cooking and food, we just have to adjust for our new lifestyles.

So glad I'm not the only one.

Same here! I told my mom that it is sort of like a bad breakup where I can't stop going through old pictures!

This is hularious... My first week post-op at home, I laid up and watched a Top Chef Marathon. I kept telling myself that I am Crazy. I will still watch food Network channel and Cooking Channel regardless

Lol me too I have been doing the same thing. Had surgery two days ago and while on preop liquid diet I struggled seeing people eating in front of me but post surgery I don't even mind. It's weird

I realized one day last week that I was running on the treadmill at the gym while watching "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives", and the cognitive dissonance nearly made me fall off. I switched to HGTV instead. House porn is way better than food porn anyway. :D

Guy Fieri is my weakness. I watch Diners, Drive Ins and Dives on Netflix constantly. My husband hates the man. He jokingly ask if I watch it to see him or the show. I am not much on the food network other than that. The week I was home postop I watched my 600 lb life on TLC. Talk about being horrified. I think it scared me into sticking to the diet.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      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! 😞
