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.

Watching this show tonight and it is so sad and depressing. I want to slap the enablers. I think I will try Fat Doctor instead.

Watching the Fat Doctor right now. It is hard for me to understand some of what they are saying. Can we get it dubbed in English? Lol

Isn't it amazing that the same language can sound so different even within the same country? I binge watched all of them, but there was only one man I truly couldn't understand.

<p>Thanks! Now I am totally addicted to Fat Doctor (or Fat Surgeons as some of them are called). I have to wait until my wife is gone so I can watch it as my wife doesn't care for it. LOL</p>

I can't watch that show. Too many "triggers" for me. I definitely struggled with compulsive overeating/binge eating in my former life and watching people engage in that behavior just sets something off in me and I don't like it.

I love this show and find these people inspiring. It takes allot of courage and we should be proud of us for seeking help and changing things.

Interestingly enough, I was totally into the show before I even considered surgery. My weight was about half what theirs are and watching them succeed over time is actually what kicked my butt into gear. I thought "If they can be successful, What's my excuse?". A lot of the reason, I was against the surgery was my own fear. In 2014, I had to have an urgent double hernia surgery and my surgeon also did bariatric surgery out of his office. I felt so comfortable with him that I really gave it some hard thought. Glad I did...still love the show because I makes me hyper aware of myself.
