My friends are starting to suck

They all keep posting recipes on FB that are a WLS patient's wet dream. Cookies, cakes, even casseroles that have everything and a piece of the kitchen sink in it. Granted, when I want something different, I go to different food blogs and get some really good recipes. BUT COME ON! The most recent was this evil looking chocolate cake. The only thing I could do was shake my head and see if I could make it a little more bariatric friendly. lol Freakin food porn...

This might sound crazy, but I no longer watch regular TV with commercials because I cannot stand food commercials running before my eyes every 10-15 minutes.  I only watch DVD's or channels, like PBS that do not have commercials.  I am sure if I had cable I would just DVR them and fast forward the commercials or skip them altogether.

It is just something I had to do for my own mental health.  :O)

     
  “Not many of us are living at our best.  We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains.  The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills.  We do not know what we lose in our self indulgence.  What glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb.  What blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.?  JRM

Oh I know right! Especially late at night. There's more food commercials than I have seen in my life. I'm just glad that I was never a food network fan before surgery. lol I'd be depressed!

I was just thinking the same thing!  All of the sudden a lot of my FB friends have been posting pictures of food and recipes.  I don't think they were posting a ton food pictures before but then again maybe I sensitive to them right now because I'm still in the liquid stage of post-op.  I just thought it was a little odd.  I am so looking forward to starting pureed food next week:-)

Well just like when we see regular porn and have to satisfy ourselves with less than ideal means, we must do the same with food. Now go drink a protein shake and be happy about it.

I was just thinking I might have to cut a friend out of my news feed for that very reason!  And the same woman is always posting exercise inspirational quotes, AND is overweight.  Hmmmm.

Oh I have LOTS of these. My "favorite" is a girl that had lipo, tummy tuck, and boob job. She then got pregnant, got huge, and had to work her ass off to lose the weight. Now that she's lost the weight, she HATES fat people. She will even take pictures of anyone slightly overweight and post it on FB and berate them. She has a special place in Hell waiting for her. Especially since her husband is in the SMO category.

First.... I literally laughed out loud when I read the title. I 100% know what you're talking about... what the heck! Do we have the same friends on FB? It's been like the last 2 weeks or so and I'm about ready to start hiding people from my timeline! Are they trying to kill me!?!?
