Addicted to My 600 pound life.



Recommended Posts

I have become addicted to My 600 Pound Life. I know that I was never that big but I compare my experience with RNY surgery to what they are going through. I know everyone's experience is different but I don't get some of these people.

I love that show, I would even say obsessed! I felt that it was good preparation for my surgery, especially watching them perform the surgeries. I too was nowhere near the 600lb limit, but it became inspirational to me to see their progress for the full year.

There's a TV show about fat people?

It's on TLC, new season begins January 4th!

Thank you! I will have to check it out. I don't watch TV, and have not for years. Mrs. LittleBill had to tell me there was something wrong with the cable the other day. If it was up to me, there is no telling how long it would have gone on. But give me a good movie...

I find this show so frustrating! The enabling spouses and families (especially feeder husbands!), the lack of rule following by the patients, Dr. Naz's lack of personality...

I enjoy "Fat Doctor" much more. It's about people more like us who aren't so super morbidly obese. The doctor on the show is a sweetheart, and I feel much more empathetic than Dr Now. It's a UK show and you can catch episodes on YouTube.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
