I watched this show post-op at the hospital. It was the episode with the man who had a prescription drug problem and a love of pizza.




I just watched this one yesterday (actually I watched Parts 1 AND 2). It was intense! It made me grateful that overeating is the only problem I have to worry about. I don't know what I would do with myself if I had both a food problem and an addiction to opiates.

I love that show (except the one with the brothers) it is like driving by an accident on the road. You have to slow down and watch.

They look for "drama" as it makes better reality television.

I just started watching again, and it is definitely a reminder of what not to do, and how easy it can be to overeat and eat the wrong things. What I'm not enjoying is how they've changed to show to cut off the story line with the patient's results. Obviously this is because they want us to watch the "follow up" show, but I'd rather hear about successes before the end of the episode!

I like Fat Doctor UK better. Better Doctors, they seem to actually care and having feeling and emotions. The patients are more realistic.

The people on 600 lb life are like aliens. Just because of their lifestyle and choices. They are always surrounded by so many enablers, if seems like Bizarro world.

Plus I low key hate Dr Now.

I watch a lot of documentaries and BBC specials on food, fast food and sugar when I need motivation to stay on track.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
