Watching clips from My 600 pound Life on YouTube and rooting for them all...and wanting to strangle a couple. It's weirdly motivational.

We've placed a few of the cast members on My 600-pound life.

I'm referring to Facebook, Insta and YouTube influencers.

Thanks!

Love Kimberly H and Chemistry Queen!

I'd like to add Clusie and Short Sleeved T -- very informative, relatable and entertaining! I love watching these videos and seeing their transformation over time. It's so inspirational.

@morganlosing on instagram. She’s amazing. Real. She struggles and has bad days where she isn’t perfectly on plan, and she admits it, which makes everything relatable.

I follow a lot of WLS people but I’ve been following this lady for a while, even before her sleeve with Dr. Illan. She’s upbeat, enthusiastic, and a kind soul. She helped me greatly in my decision to go with Dr. Illan.

      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.
