great idea.

I am 9 days out and I am constantly watching food network. I thought I was weird. My Dad had throat cancer and for a year couldn't eat anything. He did the same thing. I used to ask him all the time, Why, isn't that torture? He loved it. And now I get it. I cant eat much and even watching it doesn't make me want to eat, but it is oddly comforting. At least most of the new shows are showing lighter fare for the new year so I have gotten some ideas for when I can start eating food again.

How about takes on their real shows:

"Throwdown with Bobby Flay"

Can become

"Post WLS First Time Eating Solid Foods Throwup & Sliming With Bobby Flay"

"Cupcake Wars"

Can become

"Protein shake Wars"

"Guy's Big Bite"

Can become

"Guy's Little Bites Chewed 20-25 Times"

"30 Minute Meals"

Can stay as

"30 Minute Meals", since we need to make our meals last at least 20 minutes

"Worst Cooks In America"

Should be taken off the air.

There is no contest, my wife is the all-time reigning world champion. :)

Hmmm (rubs my double chin).

I think food Network is scared to get back into the weight loss themed show. Does anybody remember Juan-Carlos Cruz, the calorie commando? He was charged with trying to have his wife murdered. Maybe they worried that losing all that weight makes us less than stable!

By the way I watch food network all the time. I see stuff and think man I would have loved that food but man is that nasty how much food is on the plate. It really gives you perspective on how much food you use to eat versus what you really eat now.

Waving hand as a food Network junkie (certain shows). Love Unwrapped, but have to be careful about the topic because head hunger is real. Watch baking competitions and those make me crave sweets. Then I remember that I can't cook do we're good, lol. Diners, Drive ins and Dives. Yum.

I do think it'd be interesting to have a show that focus on smaller portions. More Proteins, fewer carbs. This is where someone needs to come out with their own YouTube cooking show. If only I were creative and could cook...

My show would be pretty boring:

-costco meatballs. Pour small amount of marinade. Nuke them and place in single serving containers.

-chicken breast, season, cook, eat

-steam in bag veggies. A whole bag will last you a week, lol

Honestly though, I'd like to see real dishes that one could make while feeding the rest of your family.

      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.
