Addicted to My 600 pound life.



Recommended Posts

My 600 lb life is a great motivator and reminder why I got sleeved, even though I was not even close to being that size. Sometimes I want to throat punch the whiney patients though LOL

Personally, never got why people like shows such as this or Hoarders. I'm not a fan of watching other real peoples' struggles as entertainment.

To each their own, haha!

I started binge watching it the night before my surgery. Lost a few hours of sleep from it. Since surgery, 10 days ago, I've finished season 3. Season 1 & 2 aren't available on demand so I need to track them down.

I like watching My 600# life and the transformation show. I agree with what someone said earlier about the enablers and the whiney patients. I like Dr. Now because he doesn't play into the lazy game and tells you how it is. I prefer someone to be straight with me and not sugar coat things. I watch the show as often as I can.

You know what's a funny (odd) observation I just made?

All the comments about this show and how it drives people crazy that some of these people aren't compliant with their surgeries and how they like Dr Now because he doesn't put up with excuses? People who point the same things out to others in this very forum are told they aren't being supportive and are called bullies.

Why is that?

"Do as I say, not as I do" didn't get to be a cliche for nothing!

I've watched a few episodes but mostly I just want to slap the stupid out of the families. Can't watch hoarders either.

One more vote for Fat Doctor. It's real about the benefits and the risks. One of the patients never wakes up from the procedure????. Additionally, it's got the best videos of the surgery itself. I learned more about what the surgery actually looks like by watching that show than all of the doctors' charts put together.

I love that show! Though, one episode really frustrated me. There was one guy who almost completely refused to change. He was also an ass. It was hard to watch, but it was nice watching the doctor set him straight.

There's one patient in the beginning scenes of the show that says "I need somebody to help me say no"

For some reason seeing that one part in the beginning of each episode pisses me off.

Still love the show tho!!! It makes my family crazy that I'm so addicted to it!

      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.
