Addicted to My 600 pound life.



Recommended Posts

My 600 lb life is a great motivator and reminder why I got sleeved, even though I was not even close to being that size. Sometimes I want to throat punch the whiney patients though LOL

Personally, never got why people like shows such as this or Hoarders. I'm not a fan of watching other real peoples' struggles as entertainment.

To each their own, haha!

I started binge watching it the night before my surgery. Lost a few hours of sleep from it. Since surgery, 10 days ago, I've finished season 3. Season 1 & 2 aren't available on demand so I need to track them down.

I like watching My 600# life and the transformation show. I agree with what someone said earlier about the enablers and the whiney patients. I like Dr. Now because he doesn't play into the lazy game and tells you how it is. I prefer someone to be straight with me and not sugar coat things. I watch the show as often as I can.

You know what's a funny (odd) observation I just made?

All the comments about this show and how it drives people crazy that some of these people aren't compliant with their surgeries and how they like Dr Now because he doesn't put up with excuses? People who point the same things out to others in this very forum are told they aren't being supportive and are called bullies.

Why is that?

"Do as I say, not as I do" didn't get to be a cliche for nothing!

I've watched a few episodes but mostly I just want to slap the stupid out of the families. Can't watch hoarders either.

One more vote for Fat Doctor. It's real about the benefits and the risks. One of the patients never wakes up from the procedure????. Additionally, it's got the best videos of the surgery itself. I learned more about what the surgery actually looks like by watching that show than all of the doctors' charts put together.

I love that show! Though, one episode really frustrated me. There was one guy who almost completely refused to change. He was also an ass. It was hard to watch, but it was nice watching the doctor set him straight.

There's one patient in the beginning scenes of the show that says "I need somebody to help me say no"

For some reason seeing that one part in the beginning of each episode pisses me off.

Still love the show tho!!! It makes my family crazy that I'm so addicted to it!

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
