Supersize vs. Superskinny



Recommended Posts

Has anyone seen this show? It is a British show and I am watching it on YouTube. I have watched all of season one and am into season two since yesterday. Season one seemed stupid with the "Ban the Big Bum" stuff, but season two is pretty good. The main premise is having an overweight person and an extremely underweight person swap diets for a week. In season two they bring in a woman who is about to have gastric sleeve surgery as a method of scaring the overweight person into eating a normal diet. The surgeon said "she would never be able to eat in a restaurant again".

I don't know how old this series is, but it has many more seasons so I am sure it has changed a lot. Even so, I am finding it interesting now that My 600lb. Life is over for now.

My 600lb. Life is a totally different. It does not involve superskinny people swapping diets with superfat people. I watch both shows and there is no comparison.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
