I liked this one too. He was so positive and really tried to eat right and exercise. He was one that truly deserved the second chance.

Yes, James story was a good one. I love when things totally turn around for these people on the show. So many times obese people are perceived as having zero willpower and that's just so not true. I think it's great that this dr is willing to help those that are 600+ and give them second chances at life. I really do wish the best for them and for all of us that have struggled with our weight.

I love the Surgeon on the show. He does not accept their excuses and tells them the truth. I really like to see his reaction when they tell him that the weight they gained is Water weight. He told one girl that she would have had to drink 300 gallons of water to gain the 17 lbs that she put on. I like that he calls it like he sees it

I don't have edema but my mom does and it is absolutely possible to gain 17 lbs of water weight. My mom had 63 lbs of water weight and ended up in the hospital due to it. She is coming home soon but had iv of lasix for several days. I know it wasn't real weight because she eats what we bring her and she is lucky to get in 800 calories a day because she has no appetite. With that said a lot of people is that as an excuse and the dr sees thru that for sure. ;) plus if their chest is clear and legs not showing edema than it isnt water weight. Lol

Her story was amazing! I love that she got off all her weight, reached her goal, had a baby and continued to keep it off. She was very determined and worked very hard. I like that she went on to work for the dr helping counsel other patients seeking wls.

I ask myself, 'Who the heck is feeding these people'? Does their family really want to feed them to death? I' m down to antennae tv and can't watch them. I tried utube and they want$. I did find a British show called Fat Doctor with a gentle surgeon. Full episodes.

I found Fat Doctor on YouTube. I like that they show them a few months after also.

I'm watching it now. She's not the first to have the sleeve, Penny had the sleeve done. I think these are the only 2 tho, the rest I've seen have all been gastric bypass.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
