I use to watch that show all the time. food addiction either too much too little can be a bad deal!

I watch it everytime I see it on tv. I have seen several episodes now with eating disorders like bulletin and anorexia. I have yet to see one where they follow a morbidly obese patient who is addicted to food.< /p>

I think they definately should!

Netflix has a season of intervention available of instant download now. There are 3 episodes in this season about people with binging disorders. Of course, these three people are all average to underweight. I agree, they need to have a show centered around food addictions/binge eating of a person that is obese. I have watched 6 seasons of this show on Amazon Prime and they never did this on any episode. I can only speculate as to why.

When you watch these shows, its amazing the correlation you begin to see between drug addiction and food addiction. I know this first hand since I've had problems with both at different times in the past. Unfortunately, I've come across many morbidly obese individuals (with food addiction) that refuse to see this or be related in any way to a drug addict or their problems.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
