msamanda1979 3 Posted November 15, 2012 I'm 1 week post op and so far this has been a very hard wk. The hardest thing for me is watching TV! I see these food commercials and I go through an emotional roller coaster. I know I'm not physically hungry but I'm so head hungry! Is this my food addiction or me breaking habits? I feel broken 2 royalsecret and 920amy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
920amy 409 Posted November 15, 2012 I am almost 2 weeks out, and I can't agree more about the food commercials!! I call it 'food porn', because that's really what it is. We all know nothing at Applebees actually looks that good! We know Red Lobsters Lobster tails aren't really that big! I have gotten into the habit of using my DVR more. I just fast forward through all commercials, so I don't have to look at them! I know it's head hunger, I also know for myself I couldn't have possibly gotten this big if I didn't have a food addiction. I am stead fast to doing this, and I will prevail! Good luck to you! I also find it helps if I am watching something particularly juicy, like a Carls Jr. commercial, I take a sip of my Water, and soon enough the commercial is gone and I can realize I am doing good by getting my fliuds in! Good luck, you can beat the Food Porn Addiction!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel broken I know that to be successful myself I will need to do something more. Either Overeaters Anonymous, some type of counseling, or support group. This issue with weight I believe, is more than a physical difficulty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msamanda1979 3 Posted November 16, 2012 Yes, I'm currently looking for a support group. Today was a good day, I was able to get some good Soup down and I felt satisfied. Oh and believe me I'm recording everything on my DVR...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
