My 600lb life

When I went to my week followup I accidentally called my Doc Dr. Now. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I’ve always watched the show. But now that i’m about to have the bypass, I watch it with more interest.

I find it informative, especially what NOT to do. ?.

I've always watched it even before ever considering GBP, it is informative and definitely shows you what not to do. I find though in my area only 1 out of all the preop's I've met ,only 1 is that size and he's really not 500to600, probably more like 400. So I was glad to see people that was closer to my size getting it, it made me see that people are trying to get it now before they get that size.

To be honest, yes! I started becoming more interested than before, about a week post-op. Whenever I see it on, I automatically put it on. It makes me want to bring the elliptical in the house, so I can do something productive while watching it, now that I have the okay for more exercise. [emoji23]

About four months in I hit the 100 lb mark. I was in ONEderland by the beginning of June. I'm five months post op now.

The trouble with 'My 600 Pound Life' is the prurience and the nature of sensationalism in it.

Shows dealing with obesity and its treatment have to avoid both those negatives.

The shows "Weight Loss Ward" and "The Obesity Myth" do a much better job of looking at obesity and its treatment factually and dispassionately. The case studies are done much better.

Somewhere in between these two excellent examples and the somewhat trashier "My 600 Pound Life" is the almost bearable, "The Fat Doctor".

Congrats on losing so quickly! What was your food and exercise regimen?

Sorry for the wacky postings. This is my first time!

It's okay. I eat mostly seafood and leafy greens. I walk up steep hills and go to the gym for at least an hour twice a week at the moment.
