Big Ward

New show on Netflix follows three people in New Zealand for a year during the weight loss surgery process. Very interesting!!!

Sounds like something I would love to watch. Can you tell me the name of the show? Please and Thank you

This might be a shot in the dark...but the title of the post was "Big Ward"...I'm guessing that might be the name of your show:)

Correct, name of show is Big Ward. Binge watched whole first season yesterday. Learned more about nutrition then I learned from the nutritionist at my surgeons office! Great show!!!

I watched quite a bit of it and found it very interesting to see the pre op arrangements and the day of surgery. Some of the "breakfasts" that they were having were scary - probably 2000 calories in one meal!! I have to say, it made me want to go out for a walk at one point because I realised that some of my own choices in the past weren't so different. The fact that we can eat take away food much cheaper than buying and cooking fresh veg / fruit is scary.

Damn I couldn't find it. But can't remember if I said Big or Fat. Hmmmm...*runs with scissors to go try Big Ward*

Ha! I just found it and watched the first episode while I did my 30 minutes of walking! LOVE it! Thanks for turning me onto it! I was searching for Fat Ward, no wonder I couldn't find it. Was simple when I searched for Big Ward!!

TY!

Watched the whole series the other night (it's quick, as there are only 10 episodes that are each about 20 minutes long). Was a little taken aback by how much I identified with certain behaviors.

I watched the whole first season last night too. Very interesting. At one point when someone had 4-6 sandwiches on their plate I got nauseous. And I felt really bad for Kimiora and her post op Protein Shake ordeal.

I watched the first season too! It was very interesting. I was surprised at the lack of knowledge though... Can't remember the girl's name but she didn't know what red cabbage was. She picked up a zucchini and didn't know what it was called either. I'm glad she's getting help though & learning.

Hahaha! I so agree! Gosh I feel for her and almost all of them! It occurs to me, their naivete and disconnect with real food and inability to cook, is perhaps one of the roots of their form of the disease! Makes me want to figure out how to pioneer a program that underserved people can get cooking classes and shopping mentoring and food delivery of real foods--to their underserved neighborhoods. Like in some of the wards in Houston, we have a food desert--no groceries or easily accessible access to fresh foods. But dayum if there isn't a McDonald's there selling their $1, $2, and $3 menus! And KFC with their $5 meals!

And Long John Silver with the hush puppies and greasy fish. Popeye's chicken (I confess I DID like it pre diet and fitterness) and the rest of their evil cohorts. What fast food resturant is the worst sinner in YOUR area?

We have a Family owned restaurant here in my town. It is called CASY'S"" One of the best foods to get in town. But their servings are way over the top! We used to go there quite a bit. Once and awhile we will get a chefs salad to share and have leftovers so much that we can eat the next day if we wanted. Way to big servings and once you add your dressing it won't keep until the next day and besides who wants to eat leftover salad. NOT ME!! They have or had when I ate there before way to good foods!! Like real comfort foods. But there restaurant is one of the reasons I had to have my RNY. Does it bother anyone else that we are over run with ads from the store? (BariatrcPal) It is getting to be a big issue with me. Anyone else?
