Am I the only one watching this show for motivation! Quite a few of the people profiled are anywhere from 10 to 270 lbs heavier than 600 lbs. Not comparing myself to them but just trying to learn some Do's and Don't's for my own personal journey. I am inspired by the success stories and honestly...I could see myself having some of the issues those profiled faced. Crazy thing is as I watch each episode I find myself rooting for them to succeed!!! Crying when they falter and cheering when they pick themselves up, push forward and win in the end!!!!

I,too, love watching " My 600 Ib Life" .. whenever I feel tempted to cheat- helps me stay on track!! FYI- the British version of this is : "Fat Doctor" (you can watch full length episodes on you tube)

I can't watch it. It gives me such anxiety, and when they have surgery and go right back and I mean right back (like within a couple weeks) to their old habits it makes me crazy. Can't do it......

A friend of mine told me about the show a few weeks ago, and after watching a few snip-its became hooked. I've also introduced DH to the show and we use it as a reminder of what we don't want to become. It's nice that they are profiled over the course of a year so that you can see the process that they have made; plus the update episode was nice because you can see where they are further down the road; lke the one gal who now works in the clinic. I do however find myself frustrated at some of the patients when they refuse to walk/exercise or stop consuming junk food.

      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.
