Do food commercials make you gringe now? I watch some of the commercials and think, that looks good but why is there sooooo much of it.... Funny thing is thinking back to a year ago eating that big plate of food;)

Watching food commercials is the same as watching people eat at a resturant......REPULSIVE!

I won't say I hate food, but I put it way down on my list as things I need to concern myself with.

The KFC pot pie commercial and the Denny's are my least favorite ones! Gross.

Funny though, the commercial for cinnamon toast crunch Cereal makes me crave a bowl of that cereal every time!!!!

I guess I'm the odd man out. Most of the food commercials on tv make me want whatever it is that they're selling. Espcecially the MnM's. When I had my band 2 1/2 yrs ago, I remember spending the nite in the hospital watching tv. On it was an MM's commercial. I remember telling myself that that would be the first real food I'd have when my liquid diet was over in 4 weeks. It wasn't - but it was one of the firsts! The Olive Garden commericials are among the worst.

food porn! I hate it but I used to hate it for temptation and now I hate it because its disgusting! The people biting into a huge sloppy burger makes my stomach lurch! Watching people in a restaurant put food in their already-full mouths makes me have to look away!

I guess I am just weird, but after I was Banded I started watching the food Network. Oh and Cake Boss and all of those . . . and the one where the guy goes around trying to break food contests like eating 20 oz steak or world largest hamburger plus fries.

I guess since I couldn't eat it I wanted to watch it. But it didn't seem to make me have cravings. I still watch cupcake wars and cake boss. Maybe I am weird. Or just checking in on my old neighborhood!!!

I like watching that guy that goes to different places and gets the biggest hittest stuff to eat. But sometimes it hard to stomach just watching it. But some if looks tasty (for maybe two bites)

Me too. I do not know how he eats all that stuff and is not as big as a house. Hate to see his blood work though. pizza commercials do bother me. But I can not do pizza no matter how small the bites are or how slow I go.

The lapband has not cured my love for food. If anything, I think I enjoy it more now that I take my time to eat it instead of inhaling it! The week after surgery all I watched was the food channel, and I still enjoy cooking shows now. I wish the band was around my head as well, but it isn't!

Im on an all liquid diet until my surgery on Thursday and it has made me realize how many food commercials there are! I also noticed how much everyone at work talks about food! It has been really hard!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
