Do you avoid any TV shows now that you have had the sleeve?

When I watch anything with food, it causes my head hunger to go crazy. Hopefully this will go away when I get to eat real food again!

I have that same problem right now. I start craving things I never even used to eat, like hot wings (why?!!!).... but I am not really eating real food yet either (still on mushies).

My aversion to cooking shows cleared up around months 3-4. I get uncomfortable thinking about all the food Adam Richmond is slamming down his throat on Man Vs food though. Heck I was watching Anthony Bordain on No Reservations and he was just eating "normal man sized" portions and I got off track thinking it was a good thing I didn't have a job as a food show host or I would surely offend some great chefs by leaving my plate full.

If there were a way to just get certain channels and not have to buy all of them, I would get cable when I return to the States.

For some reason the food Porn (aka Food Network) soothes my head hunger. Maybe it soothes the subconcious anxiety that worried I wouldn't be able to participate in beautiful food again. I am just as satisfied by watching the Food Porn as I would be by eating. Diner Drive-Ins & Dives is my favorite, Giada of course is wonderful, and I was bummed to hear that my favorite cake show Ace of Cakes was cancelled. I don't care for all the gimmicky shows and competitions (except for Iron chef) or Paula Dean. Oh I almost forgot the best for creativity and thinking - Good Eats!!

      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.
