Have you ever watched this show Man vs Food on the travel channel? If not.. it is a show where this guy travels around looking for the biggest sandwiches, burgers, pizza...I mean over the top portions and eats. Here I am drinking 3 protein shakes and eating a LC every day for the last week and a half and 5 days away from having WLS to make myself healthier from poor choices in the past... but I was glued last nigh****ching it for like 2+ hrs...I am thinking WTF is wrong with me?? Why am I watching this? I know that what he was doing was not healthy but a small part of me was like...dang that looks like fun...ever get a moment like that??

I love the show. mainly because he pigs out. almost makes me feel as though I am. I sure loved to eat. still do but obviously not that way anymore. I have a bit of a crush on that goliath of eating!

It's okay to live vicariously through his eating but... I'll admit when I saw him eating half that 11 pound pizza..I nearly barfed myself. Just the thought of all that bread did me in!

Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!

LOL Rob ~ After surgery I was ADDICTED to the Food Network! And I know that I have read on this board that has happened to other people. I was not hungry in the least after surgery, but it was like a train wreck - I could not look away!

Now when I watch Food Network I think - man that looks good, I guess I could eat maybe 1/4th of that portion now.

jon always by you.

Oh yeah. There were final days pre-op and fresh post-op that made me just want to EAT like that. I think the fear of the unknown really makes us think things that usually aren't true (mine was never being able to eat more then a couple bites of food ever again). I'm just so proud of you and your accomplishments pre-op. You've made such an investment in your health that you're really on your way to an amazing future.

Best of luck on your upcoming surgery Rob!

I know, it is sick but I love watching that guy. What does that say about my food issues?

Somewhere inside me, there is a fat girl just dying to get back out. I mostly just try to keep her subdued with sugar free pudding, but she's not amused.

Hi Rob
I haven't responded to you for a while but just want to say congrats on the great job of preparing for your surgery. I hope you have a real smooth ride next week. I am sure you will cause I don't know anyone who did a better job of preparing for this than you did. Best of luck to you.
