great idea.

I am 9 days out and I am constantly watching food network. I thought I was weird. My Dad had throat cancer and for a year couldn't eat anything. He did the same thing. I used to ask him all the time, Why, isn't that torture? He loved it. And now I get it. I cant eat much and even watching it doesn't make me want to eat, but it is oddly comforting. At least most of the new shows are showing lighter fare for the new year so I have gotten some ideas for when I can start eating food again.

How about takes on their real shows:

"Throwdown with Bobby Flay"

Can become

"Post WLS First Time Eating Solid Foods Throwup & Sliming With Bobby Flay"

"Cupcake Wars"

Can become

"Protein shake Wars"

"Guy's Big Bite"

Can become

"Guy's Little Bites Chewed 20-25 Times"

"30 Minute Meals"

Can stay as

"30 Minute Meals", since we need to make our meals last at least 20 minutes

"Worst Cooks In America"

Should be taken off the air.

There is no contest, my wife is the all-time reigning world champion. :)

Hmmm (rubs my double chin).

I think food Network is scared to get back into the weight loss themed show. Does anybody remember Juan-Carlos Cruz, the calorie commando? He was charged with trying to have his wife murdered. Maybe they worried that losing all that weight makes us less than stable!

By the way I watch food network all the time. I see stuff and think man I would have loved that food but man is that nasty how much food is on the plate. It really gives you perspective on how much food you use to eat versus what you really eat now.

Waving hand as a food Network junkie (certain shows). Love Unwrapped, but have to be careful about the topic because head hunger is real. Watch baking competitions and those make me crave sweets. Then I remember that I can't cook do we're good, lol. Diners, Drive ins and Dives. Yum.

I do think it'd be interesting to have a show that focus on smaller portions. More Proteins, fewer carbs. This is where someone needs to come out with their own YouTube cooking show. If only I were creative and could cook...

My show would be pretty boring:

-costco meatballs. Pour small amount of marinade. Nuke them and place in single serving containers.

-chicken breast, season, cook, eat

-steam in bag veggies. A whole bag will last you a week, lol

Honestly though, I'd like to see real dishes that one could make while feeding the rest of your family.

      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! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
