Pre-op diet--> I'm not hungry until..........

I am doing really good on my pre-op diet. I do not think of food or get hungry until I see a commercial for something I love. I never really noticed how much TV ads can influence us. ????. But I haven't cheated. Staying Strong!!!

    It seems like the whole world revolves around food. Every holiday it's all about food. Treats for kids are always food. it's crazy

Today is day 2 of pre op diet, my surgery is scheduled for December 11th. I haven't cheated either and I'm not really hungry but I just want to eat all the things that I can't have! ???? When is your surgery?

Hi!

I too will have my surgery too. I am a bit nervous about the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. I guess I better read instead of watching TV in the evening!

What helps us is watching everything a day behind. This way when we watch what is on our DVR we can just skip all commercials. But that often doesn't work. Haha!

Amen! I almost turned it to Diners, Drive-ins & Dives the other day and quickly remembered that was a no-no. ????

I am four weeks RNY post-op. I still enjoy watching my favorite programs on the Food Network. Now when I see the chefs doing a recipe; I am trying to figure out if I could make that a "healthier recipe".

I'm on day 14.

And it's EXACTLY the same for me.

Unnerving but also instructive of what my 'hunger' is made of....so much WANT, not so much NEED.
