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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
