Oh man do I hear that! I did the same thing and had a serious nervous breakdown. I cried like twice the first week and a half. haha but I told myself exactly what you are! Eating what you aren't supposed to is NOT worth all the trouble we had to go through. I mean surgery, hello! lol You just have to stay strong, maybe change the channel when they come on, or even read a book blah blah. You can do it though, but it's so hard at first :)

Do you have a DVR, if so, get into the habit of recording the shows you like and watch them in a little time delay. That way you can fast forward through the commercials. I absolutely love DVR for that one thing more than anything else. I may only wait 10-15 minutes into a show to start watching it, that usually makes is to I can get through without having to sit through the commercials.

The commercials were bad enough, but my wife records every cooking show on TV watches them one after the other. I'm 3 months out and I still think I'm gonna have to kill something......

I was the same way for my first 2-3 weeks. For me it was all those commercials with the big juicy steaks! I was going crazy with all the cravings. It does past. The more you are able to eat, the fewer cravings you will have. I am almost two months and still haven't gotten that steak. Dont even like the taste of red meat anymore. It's all part of the process!

It's only hard first month, it will get easier, anyways if you do try that food you will get sick, you will probably get the slimes and vomiting. Also those commericials were dificult in those starting days. But you will learn your limitations.

      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.
