My 600 Pound Life: 2016 Season



Recommended Posts

And PS - when I finally get this surgery, PLEASE FOR Goodness sake, Do NOT bring me the big tub of removed skin for me to look at while I am holding a vomit bag in my hand! Blech!

I am at my 3 week check up in the waiting room and just laughed out loud at a volume so high the receptionist dropped her file.

I am resurrecting this thread. I am watching "where are they now" episodes and they are following some people in their 3rd year and beyond. It is REALLY inspiring! I still don't love Dr. Now, but it's cool watching these folks who have struggled but are still fighting the fight with much success!

Daveo, Daveo, Dear Daveo,

"She" is just waiting for you to come for her.

She's only a whisper away.

You'll find her. I know it.

I promise.

Yep I felt the same way! Been divorced for over 10 years. Never thought it would take me this long to find love again.

I saw this episode. It won't be 'happily ever after'. They are both hoping for love but not in love with each other. I can tell...I did the same thing years ago when I wanted to be married again after my first husband died. I married a man that I was fond of and ignored all the warning signs that we really were not compatible. The marriage lasted less than five years.

Take it from someone who knows. Better to be alone than be lonely in a relationship or marriage. That's worse.

not everyone is the same, they could last a long time. you don't know that. just because yours didn't doesn't mean theirs will not last. I do kinda get that maybe this is his first relationship and they may be rushing into things but only they know if it will last or not.

Engaged on your second date? WOW! How long were these dates that you were able to tell in 2 dates that you were compatible? Did you spend months day after day chatting online? Did you truly love each other when you got engaged? I am curious as I have been online dating for the last 10 years. Online chatting is great and there seems to be a lot of compatibility and then we meet and it turns out to be a terrible date. However I will often go on a second or third date just to be fair as many times the nerves have kicked in during that first date. Am still searching. Two things I will never give up on : losing weight and finding love.

By the way Congratulations on 20 years. When did you marry? My marriage was May 20th and lasted 9 years. I hope you two have planned a wonderful romantic anniversary.

Yes, we had talked a long time online -- had exchanged at least 60 really intense emails. To be very clear, we were writing buddies, not online sex buddies. I will admit our first date was 4 days long. And yes, he really did propose -- with a ring -- on our second date.

The truth is we were just wildly, amazingly lucky. And that's the part I hope people won't discount: Sometimes we human Beans just get wildly, amazingly lucky!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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
