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.

      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.
