Have you guys watched this episode ofSean, the heaviest man in the world. 919lbs. Omg, i hate watching this because i complain about the 100 lbs i have to lose while these people have been trapped in a body truly of their making . Dr.naw, is looking like wth. And the growths that they have. I count myself on the luck side.

Watching My 600 Pound life was an important step for me to be brutally honest with myself about my weight and health. Unfortunately, I was just one diet away if being eligible to be on that show. Much of what the people on the show experienced due to their weight is not unfamiliar to me.

Now, each time I see an episode, what stands out to me changes depending on where I am in my own journey.

With all of its flaws, watching My 600 Pound Life has been a very important part of my journey.

My Big Fat Fabulous Life, although infuriating, has also been enlightening.

I totally agree. It's very important to never forget your past, and how easily the past can be repeated. I refuse to utter the words "such and such pounds lost forever!" No forever is ever guaranteed.

I see myself in every 600+ patient. It doesn't matter that my highest weight was 248. I am them and they are me. We all required surgical intervention in the end.

Complacency is the fast track to failure.

      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!
