If you are in the UK the link will just work, and you register with the website. In the US it gets a little more complicated. Step 1: download the web browser Google Crome Step 2: Go to Hola.org to download the Google Crome tool called Hola Step 3: Set your location on Hola (the smiling flame next to the URL bar) to the UK Step 4: Go to the website below and it will ask you to register with the site and it should work http://really.uktv.co.uk/shows/fat-surgeons/watch-online/

I downloaded it for Firefox. It works great. Thanks !!

Man does Penny have a lot of problems...I felt bad for her husband but in the same token he is enabling her...I think he needs to show tough love...its not like she can get up and get her own food....he should have made her eat healthier..I just hope she can get through this with help from professionals...

The Penny episode should be a reminder that this is not easy and we need to be in the correct frame of mind going into this. She was obviously cheating but the cameras did not show it. Early on we see that was given soda bother husband out of a giant Subway cup. There must of been other instances of cheating while filming. What bothered me the most about her was that she was lying to herself and saying how hard she was working for her son. I feel bad for the son when he watches this episode years from now and realize why he lost his mother (if she didn't change her ways).

I have decided to add a shrink to my team for surgery. They have you see a guy once for 20 minutes to confirm you are a good candidate but it couldn't hurt to see one on a regular basis to make sure your entire house is in order, not just your body but also your mind and perhaps for those who believe your spirit.

CubsWin -

Good luck on your date. I remember my last week of what was Normal.

Tonight I saw a bunch of people I have not seen since last June and some did not recognize me. My date was 10/18 and I have lost almost 80 lbs. The weight is coming of very slow right now (1lbs a week), but that is ok. I see my Dr and NUT in a month so I will see what's up then. Obviously Im not worried as it will give my skin a change to tighten up a little.

Good luck, if you have any questions let me know.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
