I started my liquid diet and I am  hungry and all thats on T.V. Is food porn. My mother-in- law lives with us or I would turn it off. She sits and watches t.v. all day.I hope I make it thru this diet. Prayers please.

Only a month ago, and I was there. Not just commercials, but tv shows with cooking segments too. It's so difficult. Ask her to change the channel when food comes on, or mute the commercials. All I can suggest is look away, and go have a glass of water or crystal light.

Thanks I have been trying to stay busy. I am just getting a headache and feeling bad. I am also coming off my diabetic meds. I keep telling myself one day at a time and Tuesday will be here before I know it.

When you feel triggered by food, take a walk!  :)  It helps!

If you have a headache and feel bad, feel free to take it out on the rest of the world. I turned into a turbo cranky ***** when I had the food detox headache. Just remember to appologise and thank the family once it's over.

Oh jeez, I did an actual spit-take. There's Premier vanilla shake all over my desk.

Still laughing.

I'll be laughing at this for months.

I am right there with you.  I have a count down calendar on my fridge to the 21st when I can have pureed foods.  The TV is horrible.  I really snapped at my husband last night when he came in with a sub sandwich at 10pm last night after working 13 hours.  He didn't deserve my wrath but I couldn't control myself.  Its hard.

Sometimes I actually seek out food shows and movies where people are piling down food...it just looks so good. I'm so disturbed! LOL

OMG - I could have written this myself -

I am over sensitized to some food commercials - Not all of them - but some are just what you said - food porn.

I put on Anthony Bourdain the other day - I lasted about 15 minutes before I had to change the channel.

I start phase 2 on the 19th - so just a few more days before I can start whatever the heck it is I get to have.

We can do it - just keep in mind your next phase and how much you'll appreciate the little bit you will be able to tolerate.

Good luck
