Did anyone else get addicted to watching my 600lb life while going thru this procedure? I been off work 2 weeks and have watched almost every episode. [emoji23][emoji23]

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]

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".

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.

      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
