" I hope this don't make to many people mad! but that show the biggest loser! realy is a Degreading show, I turned it on and only sceen the part where the four people were having to eat the table full of pastrys to win the camara's buy how many plate they ate, and worse then that those people were hungery then have to be temped by that, I guess thet signed up for it to win money but how much is your self respect worth!

Humiliated; and screamed at by that lady trainer! that poor guy looked like he was going to have a heart attack, the she was asking him if he enjoyed being fat! But when a person is as large as that man was there are limitation's on a what a person can do healthy with out stressing your heart, im sure deep down the guy would of tryed for more time but his body would not allow him too!

maybe im wrong. what do you think?

I hate those reality shows...

One exception - Fear Factor. It's like... A dirty pleasure, I guess. But the people aren't verbally abused, and I keep wondering if I'd have the guts to do some of those things.

But I'm with you, JQ - I really think these types of shows are unhealthy.

I agree with you but cant stop watching just the same.

I had to laugh the other day on the subject of Big Brother. I saw one of the girls from the last Australian Series down at our local shops working in a land sales booth in the middle of the mall. Not as some special promotion, that was her actual job. Trying to sell land in Pakenham. Sheesh, how the mighty have fallen! Our suburb is not exactly in the heart of bustling cosmopolitan Melbourne, this is the outer south east, home of the 3 bedroom brick veneer, 2.5 kids and family truckster in the driveway.

I've never watched that show... sounds like I'm not missing a thing! Thanks for the heads up! I don't want to watch any program that promotes humiliating the obese... lord knows most of us have suffered through enough of that in our own lives!

I do have to admit... I had managed to completely stay away from Survivor and this year we happend to get hooked on the reruns on OLN... DANG...I was this [----] close to a clean get away! Other than that I have mangaged to avoid reality TV.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
