Dr. Now Annoyed That Krystal Sleeps For Half Of Her Day l My 600-lb Life 

because they only act like they can't I'm fat and fat people have alot of excuses of why they can't lose weight

She's really tall

Really, really tall. Wish I was that tall.

She looks less than 600 to me but it’s the height.

@@eleanor1105 That was what I had thought. A lot of the people 600+ aren’t mobile. Height really makes a difference.

Ya!! I was gonna say he just seems concerned and wants to help her!

It doesn't hurt when you're asleep. In the worst time of my life I'd sleep for 20hrs at a time. I just didn't want it to hurt anymore.

​@@clovs I'm an insomniac so would be helpful to borrow some hours from you tbh. All the best.

@nickycotton6137 same tho tbh, that time in my life was a decade ago. But normally I have serious trouble sleeping.

@@clovs Ah, okey dokey.✌️. Was just jesting sorry, but sleeping for HOURS would be handy tbh. So you've gone from 1 to the other eh! Awe, can empathise for sure & hope yours improves.

I can relate, as I did the same thing.

@@rebellefleur435 I would suggest you talk to a doctor about that maybe even go to a psychiatric facility. I know it can be scary but they literally saved my life and although things are hard, it’s so much better than before

@@rebellefleur435 luv u ✨✨

@@rebellefleur435 I just spoke to my doctor not to long ago about the same issue. It’s a struggle but we can get through these hard times. Sending healing energy 🙏🏽

@@rebellefleur435 hope you are able to get the help you deserve 💛

May God be with you today and always! I hope that you have a nice day today

I was thinking the same thing, she must being doing something besides sleeping to be able to walk without any help.

I think the height helps. If she was 5'5 then it would be different

She is still young and seems more active (despite all the sleeping/depression) than many on show that just wait on everyone else to do for them. I think fact she is already in therapy for depression prior has helped her be forthcoming.

@Tnc874 in my case you’re orrecr. I’m 4,10” I once weighed 399 pounds and it’s definitely mulch different depending on height getting around at least in my case it took me about 3 years to go from 499 to 188 pounds

Yeah, I like her because she didn't give BS like "I wake up and go to the gym, then eat one meal a day, I do keto" etc. She seems pretty honest and likeable. I hope she has success :)

I agree. It’s not laziness, it’s a genuine psychological issue.

I’m thinking it may be sleep apnea too.

That or something is very wrong medically. Even if you're 600lb, its not normal to sleep so much. I hope she got help.

Right she feels bad because she's eating herself into a blob and has been horrifically abusing every person around her let's all cry for her

I like her. I’m rooting for her.

Yeah, so many have the intro showing them eating 2 huge heaping breakfast plates at hi Em but when asked claim to eat “twice a day, all healthy, with maybe an orange for a snack.”

@@Itried20takennamesLike Dr. Now says, “the scale doesn’t lie”🤨

She's smart enough to know that lying to the doctor will only hurt her.

i think she was so desperate to get help, that she knew she had to be completely honest

I agree. Atm, there's no reason for me to see him. However, if the time comes, he'll only be 1 - 2 doctors I'll only be trusting. I find doctors nowadays are always in a race of time and don't actively listen. I wish my family GP is like him. Long live Dr. Now!

78???? Wow!! He’s doing well.

I’ve read that he and his son/producer have been very underhanded and manipulative to produce episodes that have a lot of drama.

@@ransomcoates546 I don’t really find this show dramatic at all, seems more documentary style than anything… there’s definitely some scripting and interview questions made to dig into their deeper issues but the doc barley has any screen time… he is a doctor after all!

My sister’s neuro is around 80. Its amazing how old these docs can be and still sharp as a knife

But it is, it may start as depression not negating that one bit. However once you begin to over eat it becomes an addiction no different than heroin or crack. Just less deadly and more delicious and you can go to a drive thru and get it. Idk if Uber eats is delivering heroin to anywhere but Portland. All is all though it’s a mental health disorder to some extent but you have to grapple with the addiction to food at the same time.

@@donttalkjustplay4274 while I don’t necessarily disagree with you, the fact that the only thing you took was “being overweight isn’t JUST about eating too much” from her comment- shows a lot about you😬 It made you mad enough to comment back. She’s literally 100% right on that.

@@miad6160 wtf are you even talking about? So what I should have gratified her and gave her a good job on losing weight? Because literally everything else was pretty much and opinion and personal experience. All I did was agree by saying that it is a mental order that also deals with addiction 🤨 you ever seen a fat anorexic person? Sounds like your the one mad at my comment tons of fun. All I did was agree and give viable feedback but please continue to feed yourself 🤷🏻‍♂️

Great job

@@donttalkjustplay4274 you literally started off your comment with “but it is.” You said being overweight is just about overeating. That’s completely false. Give fat people empathy, not everyone is overweight because of overeating. There are medical reasons, genetics, etc. The commenter was correct.

She probably struggles for full lung capacity

she could read books for audio. it would be very nice to listen to.

That's what I was thinking she has a sleepy 😴😂 storytelling voice

She should make an ASMR channel lol

@@carollynt what’s the channel name? Lol

Getting over depression isn't as easy as turning off a light switch. You can't just get over it. It takes time. But, some effort must be made.

Dr Now is just…bad at pt interactions

@@anastaciamenemenils8508 he is not bad honesty is good

@@donnyreiss1180 you can give honest info w better manner

@@anastaciamenemenils8508 these people need honesty not coddling

@@NadiaSeesIt mental health treatment is not coddling

Some doctors have terrible bedside manner, some are great emphats, this one is borderline.

Yes, her voice sounds flat and depressed.

That's why every doctor should have a golden retriever in the room for emotional support.

​@@el4242dime people are allergic to dog hair

Goodjob to you kim b !! Losing 175lbs is great ! 🥳🥳🥳

Amazing job!! I didn’t have gastric bypass but I did lose 100lbs 8 years ago and have kept it off with no problem. It’s amazing what losing weight does to your body as a whole. It really is worth it!!

Good job

LaZy

@@Jazzyfresh981992 what’s lazy to you?

No. Dr. Now puts them on a 1200 calorie no carb diet. That wouldn't be good for a kid.

I lowkey agree but don’t. I agree the family should all join in on the diet to help make it easier, but not the exact same diet as it can be dangerous & unhealthy for other people 💜

It’s often a whole family problem.

@@tabbyreed8925 True, but they could avoid having unhealthy snacks and soda pop and such like that in the house. Even though the other members of the household could eat those things, it would help her a lot to not have those temptations around.

Nah, SHE'S the only one not allowed to use heroin. It's cool for others. In all seriousness, food needs to be approached as a drug. Because that's what it is for her. And that's how it needs to be perceived by those around her. It's killing her, it just doesn't have the obvious, immediate impacts that illegal drugs and alcohol do.

Whoever is titling these must think Dr Now has resting annoyed face lol xD

Unlike Dr Now's voice which is extremely monotonous to the point of being hard to understand and is the grumpiest sounding person ever, Also very talented and clever. Hard to believe, he sounds so miserable, as if he hasn't one single thing to smile about.

I noticed that she is very good as a narrator.

@@debbiemohekey1509 it’s kinda clear English isn’t his native language lol might have a little something to do with it plus seeing walrus’ all day must be soooo exciting lol I’m kiddin don’t come for me

@@johnny_bruhchill Regardless of his native language it does not explain his flat monotonous tone.That has nothing to do with the way he speaks, don't confuse it with a persons accent.He sounds grumpy and bored and unexcited with his life.Perhaps that's why some of his patients aren't very motivated.

@@debbiemohekey1509 ok. You’re right. You’re not I just don’t argue with dumb ppl

When I am depressed I have insomnia

Sleeping burns a lot more cals then you think and has helped weight loss

@@gerussialla Yep it's different for everyone. When I was at my worst I would be up 24 hours or more at the computer. Trying to sleep scared me because I'd be left alone with no distractions. So I'd wait until I just couldn't stay up anymore.

nah

@@VESPERS-LIGHT so, are you saying she'd be even bigger is she was awake? I doubt it...aIthough there's something to what you said...I mean during aII that time sIeeping, she's seIdom awake to eat! I don't think it's the caIories burned by sIeeping...I think it's the NOT eating whiIe sIeeping. SureIy, waIking around and getting some exercise, even just moving from room to room, smaII things must burn off more weight than sIeeping. I've NEVER heard a doctor say, "sIeeping is a great way to burn caIories!" EVER!! IoI. AIthough, it wouId be thriIIing for a Iot of peopIe to find out that was true!! (onIy in the twiIight zone!)

My grandpa on my pops side was from Ohio. He grew up on a farm. He was old school, tough as nails, passed away from cancer when I was in 4th grade. Ohio has some of the most down to earth hard working Americans you’ll ever come across.

Just looking at her you can tell she doesn't do much

May God be with you today and always! I hope that you have a nice day today

Depressed with sleep apnea

same it sucks

His name is Dr I want to do him right Now.

Wow, so sorry for your loss.

For me medicaton and going to the gym eary and being around people has helped. It made me feel worse sometimes but staying at home all day always seemed to make it worse than ever.

I moved to Greece and swimming is my greatest upper. The problem is work at home. But when I have my manic phase I try to get that done.

I hated anti depressants they made me more depressed and I didn't like the idea of liver damage I found the gym was better

@@sabinedalianis2629 Well done! 😊👏👍

@@ericrivera8410 Clever man! No matter how bad I've felt I kept off all drugs.😟 But a glass of wine with a good healthy meal at times is nice😂 lol.😆

May God be with you today and always! I hope that you have a nice day today

How do you take care of the bills? Or did someone help you? Like I get it that sucks but how could you survive without working or would u just do that on the weekend?

People really underestimate what low iron does to you. Happy to see you improve how you feel💜

I am also anaemic and I kept thinking that I was more sick than I actually was. I was constantly sleeping and tired and it never occurred to me that I was low in iron until the doctor pointed it out during an appointment that was intended to remedy my depression. After six months of iron infusion, I am more energetic and less depressed. I'm sleeping 7 or 8 hours a day instead of 12 to 14 hours when I could. And the icing on the cake is my skin feels and looks better and I have definitely slowed down my aging. Even the dark circles around my eyes have drastically reduced. It's amazing what a sufficient dose of iron can do.

Do you use over the counter or prescription iron supplements?

What brand of gentle iron??

I'm allergic to iron tablets & iron liquid. Throw up every time. But I can take iron water ( Holland & Barratt) with orange juice. Vitamin c helps absorb iron

I hope you feel better now ❤

Wow my depression didn't get that bad,I'm so sorry.

Yes but she’s lacking activity. IF doesn’t do all of the work.

@@ReineDeLaSeine14 I’m just impressed she can smash in all those calories in her limited eating window

@@hindghazzawi613that’s something to be disgusted by, not impressed

You metabolism slows down when sleeping. It’s like hibernating

💯

Me too😭

Actually that's a nice sleeping length, you don't really need a full 8 hours sleep and by sleeping for 5-6 hours you can save more time

@@ZkullShot no, its unhealthy.

Exactly!!!!! I take care of my husband and household and 3 kids, a do, 2 cats and a flock of chickens. There is NO WAY I can get more than 8 hours of sleep. And she naps!!!! Seriously I’d love a nap sometimes….

She said that so it makes me doubt other claims she made of being in control. Dr Now already read between the lines and knew it was the opposite, the family is taking care of her clearly. She awake long enough to feed then go back to sleep.

I assumed she meant emotionally or mentally

Your right someone else should be fixing the meal plans to give her a jump start. Putting her in charge is way to much risk especially if she's depressed.

She could also simply have sleep apnea.

Hi, you seem to know alot on this subject. Do you have any recommendations regarding dryness? Mouth and eyes etc.

@@leemaher4257 oh, sorry, its very difficult to recommend something without knowing you and/or without seeing you personally. dryness in the mouth can also cause various medications. But it can also be something anatomical. in turn, specific vitamin/trace element deficiencies can trigger this. with the eyes it is often something anatomical. although excessive use of eye drops can also cause dryness. Ultimately, I would recommend getting checked out by a doctor. because there can actually be various causes responsible for it.

@@1.6180 Thank you for replying, Drs not much help, this has been a problem since Menopause, have googled with no luck, the only thing that helps a lot is a multi vitamin, but not 100%. Interesting what you say about eye drops, I started using them this week as I had something in my eye that I couldn't get out and it got irritated with me rubbing it, much better now, so will stop with the drops.

Well it doesn't take a genius to see that's she's depressed, she's in terrible physical condition, got big bags under her eyes and has 0 energy and her eyes are kinda bloodshot, not to mention her general tone of voice and body language. While he should prob do all sort's of test on her anyways, her severe obesity has gotta be one of the first problems to tackle. She's also probably sleepy because of blood sugar crashes, and perhaps dehydration. not to mention sleep apnea is very common in morbidley obese patients, which greatly reduces quality of sleep.

i’m sure they run blood tests after the initial consultation, even if she has them done at her primary care doctor.

No it's not

May God be with you today and always! I hope that you have a nice day today.

Good sign of her body's strength. She could be in very good shape if she became normal weight.

Cuz she’s 6’9”

May God be with you today and always! I hope that you have a nice day today.

Do u know which vitamin b? Or b complex?

May God be with you today and always! I hope that you have a nice day today.

May God be with you today and always! I hope that you have a nice day today

My thoughts too. The weight, fatigue, facial hair...

i was thinking the same thing! Med student here.

May God be with you today and always! I hope that you have a nice day today

She does have PCOS she had a whole beard at the beginning of the episode

I thought she was about that age too.

This day is a blessing from God, May it be a blessing to your life. Have a good day

@@hikiss2295 Bless you too, hope your day peaceful. 🇬🇧🙏

If I may ask where are you from my lovely friend

May God be with you today and always! I hope that you have a nice day today.

She said that she needs to focus on her small family. Very likely she has family dynamics from her childhood that are still in place. I guess sleeping helps her get away from her larger family, but helps her neglect her small family.

So sorry to hear about your terrible loss.

Joanne, you are strong and you will overcome!

@@Gabster1990 Thank you Sweetheart, I appreciate you reaching out, it helps to know I'm not alone and there are people like U wishing me well. Bless You 🌼

@@joolz2305 Thank you for taking the time to reach out with your condolences ❤️

God bless you, beautiful 🙏🏼

No they don't! But feeling sorry for yourself doesn't stop a heart attack! If you don't like something then do something about it. Pity isn't gonna help you lose weight.

@@vmartinez755 your comment is so spot on. You have to find it within yourself to want to lose the weight. I live with pretty bad depression, and last year I started moving 15 minutes a day and now I’m at an hour or more. I lost 65 pounds so far. It’s not easy but it’s gotta be done! ❤

People just don't have gratitude and wallow in self pity

May God be with you today and always! I hope that you have a nice day today.

This day is a blessing from God, May it be a blessing to your life. Have a good day

This is why I’d get unhappy with my OR staff for making fun of our bigger patients. Its hard to walk and move when you feel like your legs are on fire. Weight gain is a side effect.

It’s a sign of depression. Depression is audible in peoples voices

Sounds emotionless.

Right??? Gotta love that expression of disgust on his face. He's can be brutal, but at least he's right! And trying to save lives.

That's the problem, it keeps her to sleep. Poor thing...

Yeah depression kills my appetite.
