600 lb life-Robert’s Episode



Recommended Posts

Well? Has anyone seen this episode! Aired 2/28 I think!

:(

Bless Dr Nowzardan for all he does trying to help the super morbidly obese. I’m sure it’s frustrating at times but rewarding when he sees someone succeed and get their life back.

Yep, I saw it. How sad!

I loved Dr. Now's rant about pain pills being given to the morbidly obese to sweep them under the table. He's dead right and the medical community has got to change this.

Robert's mom and girlfriend had some obvious animosity going on. I'm glad they both tried to pull together at the end.

People don't understand how dangerous being obese is.

Yeah. Super bummed. :( I was literally just shocked! But you could see that he'd surrendered to the addiction monkey. I was shocked though that it didn't appear they were treating him for depression?

I didn't see the first part. So there were sparks between mom and the girlfriend? I thought it seemed like the girlfriend either hated him, or was at the end of her rope at the point that he passed?

And it looked like she put on a lot of weight after his death?

I thought it was a shame that he had made such good progress to end that way.

You would have thought it would have happened in the beginning.

I have noticed in the hospital I work at the last few weeks I’ve had three patients 350 pounds plus, I used to rarely see such large patients.

      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.
