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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
