I am always looking for good documentaries on healthy eating topics. I watched one today hosted by Katie Curic called FED UP. Wow! I knew sugar was my enemy but the addiction to this "chemical" is mind boggling. The story focuses on kids and their struggles in today's society, but I related to much of the discussion. Even after my surgery I am finding my old habits of eating sweet treats becoming infuriatingly difficult to overcome. I truly am addicted. I know that is how I got to my highest weight level before surgery and after watching this documentary I understand why I am pulled back to my same bad habits. I have to stay away from anything with sugar in it! It is a dangerous path I simply cannot travel. I will watch this documentary as many times as I need to in order to remind myself of the pitfalls of sugar. You know it is bad stuff when cocaine addicted rats choose sugar Water over cocaine! Sugar is a drug for me for sure. I recommend you watch this documentary if you have access to Netflix.

I watched this documentary lastnight too - I was surprised to realise (as I'm sure I mustve known before but just not 'thought' about it) that they even condition us from babies, if you give your baby formula...

A very good watch and something that I would watch again too.

That was very "sweet" of you to post this information.

This is an addiction. It is a serious subject and should not be "sugar coated".

      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.
