Im almost 7 months out and im obsessed lol. It was the worst in the beginning. During the pre op and post op stages where i couldn't really eat and was on liquids. I watched hours of YouTube videos of this tiny Japanese woman just eating POUNDS of food at a time. Then i would binge watch food network and cooking channel. But i can't just watch any food shows. I need travel food shows like Diners, Drive ins and Dives, carnival eats, bizarre foods (and every bizarre foods incarnation), and probably some others but those are my current heavy hitters. I don't know what it is but there is just something really comforting and relaxing about just mindlessly watching someone eat or looking at amazing looking food being made. Love it. Totally obsessed lol.

I did that for a little while post-op. I didn't have any hunger and I wanted to test the limits.

I would never do it now. I would be in the kitchen all day.

I've always loved cooking competition shows ( Hell's Kitchen, Master Chef, Chopped, Iron Chef, Holiday Baking Championship, Guys Grocery Games, etc) and I still love watching them now. They don't make me hungry to send me to the kitchen for a snack.

My wife loves them, and I enjoy most of them. Haven't watched it in a while but Bitchin Kitchen was my favorite. I love Nadia G. We just binged on the Great British Baking Challenge (or named something like that). Was all amateurs and had to do some pretty cool recipes. It was just a laid back show without all the typical nastiness you sometimes get in reality/competitive shows.

I like watching Cooks Vs Cons and some of the baking series. None of the food looks appetizing to me though so that helps otherwise I don't think I could watch them.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
