TV Show My 600lb Life

[BigJohn58 135]

I just saw 2 episodes of the tv show 600lb life I never seen it before. Have you seen the show??

I been so pumped starting my weight loss journey last week and finding this forum. I have to be honest watching that show got me depressed and I'm not the type of person that gets depressed. I'm doing something now before it gets worse. I love to hear about the success stories.

I used to watch that show before I had sleeve gastrectomy surgery. It made me cry because I was turning into what I feared the most... Being a huge person with a food addiction! But after I was sleeved 6/14/16, I don't watch that show. I have lost at total of 72 pounds. I was 300, today I am 228.

Lol! The show is good to a point, what scared me before having surgery was what if the doctor says I gained so much weight and he couldn't do the surgery. Some surgeons can be very ugly to patients. But that wasn't the case I had my pre op appointment a week before June 14th 2016. Anyways, keep watching the show, you will start changing your habits. I know I did.

Watch Fat Doctors on YouTube. I like it better (though there are no current episodes). It shows a lot more about the actual surgery.

I sometimes watch it with my kids so they can also see what poor eating habits can do.

I always feel like that show makes me want to diet lol I really enjoy watching it. I really like seeing people succeed, but it is definitely a reality check because a lot of them use excuses to keep eating too much or they have issues with the spouse due to the surgery

I haven't watched it. Is it following people or a person who had weight-loss surgery?

Yes each episode is a 600lb man or women they follow from preop to post op. It's sad but most of the time has a good ending not always. It's a real show not a reality show.. check it out
