For those wondering, as of August, she was down to under 500lb. She has since set her Tik Tok to private (likely because of upsetting comments), but, Samantha, if you ever see this, we are proud of you. What you have done is remarkable. Keep up the good work!
thank you for the update!
Agree with you! Go Samantha go! I don't understand why people are so mean 🙄
Thanks, That's great to know. I wish her happiness and success. You can do it, Samantha!! 💛💛💪🏻💪🏻
I can't imagine leaving nasty comments like that. Someone making positive changes should always be supported. Always.
Wishing you the best Samantha! ❤
It is no different than any mental illness. No person on earth WANTS to be this way. It is heartbreaking for these people.
Listening to other people eating is not what I want to do . Or watching them eat. So no I would not do it !
Very sad
@@nadiaweshnak9116 yet here you are on this site, commenting and clearly watching this? So I feel like you do want to, obviously.
@@beesnort3163you don’t really see or hear much eating, I feel like you’re being a little childish.
Again, the result of childhood trauma.
The Doc’s facial expressions is a good window into how much he actually cares about people.
They are a special kind of people who are best suited for the job.
@@hushpuppykl so true.
I felt his compassion too!
He is a great guy my daughter sees this Dr.
@@susanhunwick5625 His decency is so apparent. 💜
divorce really is alot harder on kids than ppl realize.. i started drinking at 14 during my parents separation, was full blown alcoholic till i went to jail at 20.. got out sober started doing pain killers that evolved into a heroin addiction till 23.. i hit bottom and called my dad and confessed everything, he got me into treatment that week and ive been clean for 12 years.. So lucky I didn't die or get any felonies. miracle really..
I have NO DOUBT that divorce really impacts kids, I hate this society encouraging people to divorce to indulge individuals to do whatever they want. I can understand divorce in an abusive relationship, but otherwise, people divorce out of laziness and ego, why have kids if you are going to ruin their lives. Society used to look down on people who divorced and basically abandoned their kids, we have to start that.
I'm glad you're okay 👍
@@commonsense2680trust me- having parents that fight all the time is WAY worse than having divorced parents
Thanks for sharing, Ive been at rock bottom myself, never going back ❤
I’m so sorry u went through that. I pray u are healing and doing better now.
The grey hair is looking good, it honestly looks elegant on you. Its cool that you dont dye it even though you're a plastic surgeon :) sets a really good example and we love the confidence
But if he wanted to dye his hair, that'd be okay too.
Also you do know he's pretty open about getting botox right?
absolutely, that'd be fine if he wanted to! :) Just saying its looking cool rn @@aprilsummers6447
I think Dr Youn is a handsome man.
Men who are fortunate to keep their hair and it turns silver/white look so handsome.
@@u4riahsc✔️😍
I hate when people watch these shows and put the people down for eating. They don't understand it's an addiction. As someone who's almost 7 yrs clean after using opiates for a huge part of my life, I can empathize with them. When you're an addict, even if you really want to change, as long as what you're addicted to is fairly easy to get it makes it so very hard. If it was easy as " just Don't do it " then addiction wouldn't be such a prevalent problem in our society today. I really appreciate Dr. Youn. He's so caring, and never judges. I wish more Dr's were like him.
yeah and the thing that makes food addiction so hard to deal with is that you can't just quit, you _have_ to learn moderation. a recovering alcoholic can keep the urges at bay by simply refusing to engage with alcohol in any capacity (and just to be clear, it's a _simple_ solution but I don't mean that makes it an _easy_ one). you can't do that with food, because if you don't eat then you die. addiction recovery is hard enough, but food addicts have this additional challenge on top of that. the lack of empathy that some people show for such a difficult struggle is really disgusting.
@TheGuindo yes! Good point! Nobody can just quit food. Even a liquid diet is food. No food, you die. I didn't even think of that. Yes that would be sooo much harder! Like telling an addict they can only do a tiny amount 2x a day. Impossible. But with food addiction you have no choice if you want to stay at a healthy weight. I can't imagine how difficult that must be. Especially when everyone else around you doesn't have to adhere to that diet, so you're around people eating things you aren't supposed to.
I also think it’s sad that eating disorders are only taken serious when people are underweight but eating disorders that lead to obesity are ridiculed.
@@CherryJuli another great point!!!
No we from third world countries don’t understand. She needs to go and work on the field all day long for $2 a day, then figure out how to buy food on it.
I had a RNY gastric bypass in mid-2007. I lost just over 200 lbs and I work hard to keep it off. Sometimes I do miss eating whatever and whenever I want, but the trade off is so much better: no more diabetes, high blood pressure and working on my mental health is easier. Even after all this time, I still think like a fat girl, "Oh, I can't do that,' or "That'll never hold me."
I lost @ 130 pounds from stopping 2 medications, having a worsening of my gastric condition, and going into a deep depression when I barely ate. But even though I lost it more gradually than someone who gets bariatric surgery, I still have diabetes and high blood pressure. So people really need to stop touting weight-loss as a cure for those conditions, it’s used to justify fatphobia from medical professionals as well as the peanut gallery.
@@akaLaBrujaRojaThey weren't saying weight loss is a cure all for those conditions. That was literally their experience.
I had RNY 4 years ago on Halloween and lost 130 lbs (up about 40 now due to two spine surgeries this past year ) but I got down to 210 lbs . I wish I could’ve gotten skin removal cuz I hate what I have left still :/ but yeah I still think I’m my old size sometimes
I had the gastric bypass in dec of 2004. Not always "essy" but always worth it. Started at 323 lbs today 135 lbs.
Glad you are doing well!
I lost 85 pounds on my own. And it was hard. I went from 220 down to 135. I gained 15 of it back to find a happy medium where I could maintain and feel good in my skin. How I lost it, calorie counting/charting what I ate at first. I was still over eatting but was aware of what I was eatting. Then I figured out what I could swap out from my meals to lower my calorie intake. Also made sure to walk atleast 10,000 steps a day, most days more. Started going to the gym, have ran two 5k races. Gone on lots of trips where instead of paying for transportation we walk. Walking has been the biggest help when it comes to exercises cause I dont always like going to the gym(I have anxiety and dont wanna be around people.)
I wish that worked for me. With PCOS, restricting calories doesn't work. It's all about keeping insulin low. And I have to go to the gym, daily, for at least an hour, busting my ass.
Doing that, I'm lucky to lose 2 lbs a month. It's incredibly slow-going and so, so disheartening. I've always had a healthy diet and been active, yet I'm still 70 lbs overweight.
I'm happy to hear of your progress by losing weight the natural way. Anyone can do it. I did it. I have no sympathy for ppl who are fat and complain because they just aren't trying hard enough. It takes work and commitment.
@@doodleartloverIf everyone could do it we wouldn't have an obesity epidemic. A lot of people struggle to afford good food, don't have access to produce and healthcare/nutritional care that's actually helpful and the internet is full of crap. It's not a coincidence poverty us associated with obesity, because what's cheap? Crappy food full of sugar.
@@annnee6818 - There are a lot of ways to eat healthy that aren't expensive. Actually, the sugary foods that are full of crap are more expensive than canned unsalted green beans and other healthy vegetables and fruits. There are many ways to eat healthy without breaking the bank if ppl would just look.
How tall are you? And how long did it take you to lose 85 pounds and go down to 135. I was also 220lbs 13 days ago. Have lost 12lbs and gone down to 208 in just 13 days with omad. I am 5'5.
I had a gastric sleeve in November of 2021. I was 297 at my heaviest, now I'm 176. Is a struggle, I still have a fat brain lol. There's days that my brain tells me to "eat this, miss your workout, you can do it, you got a cheating margin". Now I'm working on my final 14 pounds for cosmetic surgery for the loose skin. I'm still fighting 😊
Fantastic! You are an inspiration.
I'm proud of you! You got this! So close!
May I ask why you chose sleeve? I'm not impressed with the long term outcomes. I can't have RNY. So I'm looking at DS.
@@JenAmazed42 I didn't choose. My surgeon told me what type of bariatric surgery I had when he came to see me the next day lol. I'm from Argentina, the previous treatment (therapy, dietitian, etc) and the surgery are free but the surgeon decides what's the best option. From what I was told, because I didn't have any underlying health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure or anything, the VGS was the Best. I hope they were right ^^u
@@Andrea.A00 interesting how differently it's done from one place to the next. I get to choose, thank goodness. By RNY gastric bypass is off the table for me. I'm a former smoker and my doctor will not perform that one on a current or former smoker because of the risk of ulcers at the new connections. Sleeve is a good option for many and maybe I've read too much, honestly. But I do know a couple of people personally who have a the sleeve and have totally stretched it out by over eating. I'm sure if you stay attentive, you'll do perfectly great.
I’m so proud for her that she’s under 500lbs now!!! Girl, keep it up the amazing work. Don’t listen to the negative and a**hole people. Love from NYC ❤
Its amazing. She didnt gain WEIGHT in her face
I'm so glad, she went below 500 lbs
She'll need skin reduction.
When ready
@@kathleenking47 Absolutely! But she’s put the work in.
Your explanation about childhood overeating was so true!!
Was spot on.....
Doctor Youn I love the way you're so empathetic towards others. I wish the best for samantha and it makes me happy when people make good choices to change their life.
1) In some people it's a type of self harm?
2) Also I wonder if getting so encased in fat is sometimes a way for people to protect their bodies from abuse remembered from early in life?
3) I know of people overfed by jealous partners who fear they will leave them. They imprison their (usually female) partner inside their body; severe obesity leaving them unable to fit through the doorway or windows of the bedroom - sometimes too heavy even to stand.
Many kids/ young people w severe weight problems have been abused sexually....the fat is like 'psychic armor'
and 'protects' them from anyone wanting to touch them.
....psych NP here
Ive also heard of victims of sexual abuse protecting themselves by trying to be 'undesirable' by gaining weight (although never met a real life example).
It could be self-harm but in general food releases the happy hormones as a reward. Humans still have residual survival tendencies from when food was not always available like in today's society. So, the brain rewards you when you eat, especially if you give it glucose (aka all the sugary snacks). If you are depressed and cannot afford or was not given an opportunity to seek professional mental help, you develop a dependency on glucose as a way to stimulate hormones just like any other addiction. I think in the US, there is more evidence that childhood depression is way more common that people think and is linked to these traumas. Adults forget what it is like as a child and might not think some events are traumatic, but they are. Moving, divorce, death of family member or pet, bullying, having expectations on them, and now social media are all triggers that are hard to manage for a developing mind.
@@carolbaker2773 true, but eating yourself sick can't be pleasurable. Eating a whole box of chocolates after a break up is comforting. Eating even more, several times a day, every day, doesn't seem comforting. Maybe it's an attempt at comfort mixed with self abuse? With some m.o. people.
@@CG-lf8stit's true. It also happens to people who came close to getting sexually abused but were still traumatized. It's exactly as you said a defensive mechanism to be undesirable so you'll be safe.
When i was actually recovering from my ED (anorexia) it actually helped me watch people eat because it made me hungry and i wasn't "alone" eating. I don't like the sounds though, i always mute the videos and put music over it because the sounds creep me out 😂 and i just like to watch people who eat "calmly" and clean? Don't know the right word but i hate when they have food all over their faces etc. And i can't watch people who are already severly overweight, that triggers my ED too much 🙈
Eat tidily, maybe? I think I know what you mean-neatly is another word.
Interesting way to use mukbang and eating videos, but I’m really happy you’ve found a healthy way to improve your relationship with food!
It’s just called having manners. People who eat like they are in an eating competition is pretty gross. I used to have the same ED as a kid, but it was taste and texture for me. I still can get grossed out, but I’m healthy and have two kids now.
When I was pregnant with my second child I was laying on the exam table when the doctor came into the room. He was 'older' than the other doctors in this hospital. He mentioned my weight. I had gained about 15 lbs. finally topped out at 136 on delivery day. I mentioned something about baby weight and chuckled. He grabbed a fist full of my hip and said: "This isn't baby." That was over 45 years ago and I've never forgotten such rudeness.
Why did he think he had the right to touch you, let alone verbally abuse you, disgusting behaviour. I hope you are in a good place now. Xx
I had a gastric sleeve in 2019. My starting weight was 280 pounds, and now I weight 140 pounds. I have a lot of excess skin hanging from my stomach that is causing infections and rashes under my "apron". I finally got approved for a panniculectomy and I will be having the surgery on January 18, 2024. I'm nervous but also really excited. I've never had a plastic surgeon before, only a neurosurgeon for my broken neck and back (I've had 8 spinal surgeries).
I hope it goes well for you. I think I'd prefer skin removal to spinal surgery! I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. ❤
Best wishes with your surgery!
I hope your surgery goes well for you❤
Sending you all the love and support! It looks like you are coming up on your surgery date- I hope it goes well!❤
Ohmygod that is soon / now depending on your time zone! Hope you are doing well, goes well and that recovery is not too bad^^
I'm extremely misophonic, so no ASMR's for me. I get so nervous and angry when people chew with their mouths open.
exactly like why can't they just shut their mouths it's literally so simple
Yes!
_trigger warning_
I’ve felt badly my whole life because open-mouth crunching provokes me so much; the hostility that swells up in me convinced me that I was a bad person. Chewing ice makes me want to scream.
But the relief I felt when I discovered that this is a “thing” is something probably only people like us understand. I still try to be calm and tolerant (I mean, people aren’t trying to get on my nerves), but knowing it’s a condition-not a character flaw-takes some pressure away.
Same.
I feel the same way! I get so angry at folks making eating sounds. Furious I tell ya.
Same! I have misophonia and the visual of open mouth chewing in combination with the sound just makes it that much worse!!
I will say though, I do know some people who have severe nasal congestion/sinus issues (I do at times), so they really have to chew with their mouths open or they can't breathe when they chew (The fact that they have an actual reason for chewing with their mouths open doesn't make me any less triggered by it though)
shes lost over 650 lbs! happy for her
In my country, in order to have the surgery paid for by health insurance, you need to prove conventional therapy hasn't worked. That included working with a certified nutritionist/ dietician and a physiotherapist/ trainer over a period of at least 6 months. You also need a psychologist/ pychotherapist to attest that you are a candidate for this surgery and willing/ capable of making the necessary changes for a succesful surgery.
Sounds like the proper protocol to me
And I applaud this!
Vested interest in improving one’s own health and life!
What country, please? Thank you.
K9
This is often the same scenario here in the US. Depends on the person's situation and insurance.
major props to this young gal for losing so much weight, we know it's so hard to do and I wish her the very best continued success in her quest for health! She is lovely
1:52 a common theory is that it has something to do with controlling the only thing they feel able to control because they are powerless in any other situation for their whole life, not a psychologists, just lots of friends that fall in that exact pattern of eating disorders and trauma (mostly with eating less, calorie counting and vomiting etc.)
I’m with you Dry Youn.I have always had a problem with eating with other people. Listening to the noises gross me out!
Me too. i have misophonia.
@@vanessalackford4425. Came here to say that! I have misophonia and it is a terrible affliction. I’m a grandma now and I’ve had it since I was really young - maybe 7 or 8? I’m way better for many of the former triggers but teeth sucking and gum snapping make me want to …. 🤬 I’m not gonna say it here because the comment will probably get pulled 😂
I'm with you Dr. Youn! watching and listening to other people eat makes me cringe. Also, while I love the smell of food in general, smelling other people's food sometimes makes me want to 🤮 especially if I haven't eaten in a while.
I can't imagine what it must be like to be addicted to food. I'm sober after struggling with alcoholism, I can live without alcohol, I won't die if I don't drink, how do you overcome food addiction?
This is something I've heard before so I won't take credit, but alcoholics do need to drink. They just need to drink the healthy stuff.
Morbidly obese individuals need to keep eating, but they need to eat the healthy stuff in much the same way.
The good feels that drinking gives you is actually quite comparable to the good feels that overeating awful food can give you. I've experienced both plenty enough times to agree to that lmao. Awful food takes your brain and body over. and withdrawal happens for both addictions.
I think refined sugar and also "fast" carbonhydrates from grain does play an omportant role here, the thing is that one can eat an almost infinite amonth of high protein and fat, as long as there are no carbon hydraters involved, but as soon as one start to eat an excess of carbon hydrates ower time as i understood it start to build up glucose in the blood to dangerous levels and that cause insulin resistance wich lead to a process where the body need to do an emerbengy clean of glukos which means it will be transformed into body fat, and particulary dangerous type of fat deposites, like liver fat. At least that's how i got it explained to me, but i might be wrong. I love to bake cakes and cookies so i can hawe coffe and fresh homebaked cookies whan people are wisiting my home, so far so good, but the problems started to occur whan i could not resist to nibble a bit from the cookie jar on my breakfast, the docktor told me i had to quit doing that because i where on the brink of diabetes typ II, one can get away with it at younger age, but certanly not after the middle age he tould me. So, now cookies only on sunday for me! A bit sad, but once one owercome the initial temptation from years of built up sugar presistance the cravings will go down i a no longer miss the sugar. However a less wisible danger is bread and other grain products, those are truly the number one silent killers in modern western lifestyle food, an exessive ingestion of grain produsts does ower time lead to a whole chain of really nasty metabolic problems, i had to cut out bread almost entirely from my daily diet nowadays according to the doctor, in the past i ate tons of bread becaus it was quick and easy whan one came home tired and hungry. I think i went down more than 20 lbs just by lower the bread to one or two sandwishes a day and i feel a lot healthier as well.
It takes a complete change of diet, easily maintained exercise routines, and a dedication to drinking at least 8 oz. of plain water fifteen minutes before eating a meal, or any snacks throughout the day.
Most of us overeaters drink no water at all, usually getting our liquids in the food we eat and the sugary soft drinks. I quit eating out, and have not had a soft drink since 2015. The hardest part of keeping the excess weight off (120 pounds) has been the temptation to eat, when I’m dehydrated, rather than drink water. If I remember to drink water, first, I eat considerably less and feel much healthier. My kidneys have regained functionality that I hadn’t realized was missing, until my feet and legs quit swelling up every day. I marvel at their appearance now, because they look so normal! I don’t remember seeing my legs this fit since I was 12yo. and riding my bicycle all day on every warm day. Nobody ever told me what my dietitian advised: drink one half of your body weight IN OUNCES every day. Ex: if you weigh 200pounds, you must drink 100 ounces of water 💦 every day.
The most important part, is to learn to treasure the only free thing, that we possess: our physical bodies. I’m not talking about becoming obsessed with ourselves. I’m talking about ridding self-hate from our lives. Over-indulging is the release valve for all of the negativity we’ve been hoarding…and it is always self destructive.
I’m still working on my attitude and probably will be until I die. One day at a time.
@@sheep1ewe This is definitely wrong, and I think the obsession with fad keto diets has been really spreading this misinformation around. Fat and protein will be stored in the body when eaten in excess just like carbs. The mayo clinic states that "extra calories from ANY source will be stored as fat in the body." They just make you feel more full so you'll be inclined to eat less. Also, carbs are super important because people eat way too much fat and protein already and not enough fruits, veggies, and whole grains in America.
Ok, i am not went in for full keto since i just replaced about 3/4 of the fast carbs with boiled vegetables like peas, beans, onions, etc and i don't do the fasting which i think is fundamentally against the keto which say all carbs shall be avoided including those with excess fibers like beans, i also kept my breakfast and afternoon sandwich, and a tiny bit of oats in the yougurt in order to get lysin. I kept the protein part of my diet intact, i also added my daily walk from 3Km to 8Km (about 3,5 miles) and it seem to give some results. at least it feels like my owerall condition is improving slowly compared to before. I use very little fat in my cooking outside the baking and i only use cooking oil whan i make things like fried chicken, which i do only once a week. I don't eat any fast food at all, and snacks just a few time a year, it is more whan i am with friends, newer at hom alone. The only reason is that i know i can hold this diet ower time but i could probably not hold a strict diet for more than a limited time.
I have misophonia and eating noises are a trigger. I can’t imagine anything I would like less than to watch or hear someone eat. I feel that is further enabling and encouraging her to over eat - giving positive reinforcement to something that is harming her. I hope she is able to get healthy and live her life in a way that gives her love, acceptance and is not toxic.
Its really hard when you're overweight and trying really hard but aren't visually seeing change. It plays on you mentally. And let's face it depression is horrible for weight loss. But if you can have people around that cheer you on and help boost your self-esteem while you're trying to lose weight it does wonders to help you along your journey.
Lol Dr Youn you are so pure! She was a fetish model, people are paying to watch her eat but it's not related to ASMR, it's a kind of sexual fetish 😂
Man I came to share this. So funny and sweet
I believe this fetish is called “feederism”, and the person with the fetish gets off on controlling someone’s weight and when/how much they eat. They actually want to make a person obese. I don’t generally kink-shame, but I have a BIG problem with this fetish bc it actually causes damage to the person who is pressured to eat more and gain more weight. Any kinks which don’t involve causing severe or permanent injury (as opposed to some bruising) to the other person or compromising their health are fine in my mind, as long as both parties are consenting adults. However, feederism obviously causes TERRIBLE health problems for the person being fed, and can possibly even result in fatality due to obesity. So I HATE this fetish!
It’s called “Mukbang”
@@margauxnodvin7478 "Kink shaming" is Ok if it's actively harming another person. At least BDSM circles go by safe, sane, and consensual. Feederism is neither safe or sane, and I doubt getting so large you can't enjoy life is consentual!
True, the damage that occur does not stop when the recieving person say "stop" in the same way it does for example with someone being whipped. Her smile did not reach her eyes when she ate that cake.
Can’t imagine what it’s like to live like that day to day. Gotta have a strong will to loose that amount of weight.
I've never been overweight until 2022 when I had been working from home for a while and I'm 5'1 and got to 225 lbs and that was so difficult for me! I'm now down over 50 lbs and feel so much better but I understand how hard it can be to be overweight! And it just creeps up on you slowly! I really hope she gets healthy and is happy!
Congrats. That's awesome
@catherines7553 thank you so much! I still have about 25 lbs to lose but I'm doing it! 💕
I understand your point , working from home can be tricky as you move much less but I disagree with you when you say that weight creeps up on you slowly ......you can clearly see when you are putting weight through your clothes . As soon as I noticed my clothes are getting tighter , I start exercising, walking more and eating healthier . Problem is , it's not easy and people become complacent.
@paulatavares5220 For me, it did creep up on me slowly. I was never the type of person to worry about my weight because I had never been overweight before and I just didn't notice until I was pretty big. It's different for everyone
This is the most intelligent discussion on weight I have ever seen. Dr. Youn's narration of this video is free of judgement and/or ridicule, is factual, realistic and kind. Everything he says is medically and psychologically accurate, compassionate based and shows optimism and hope for this patient. Even his use of the term "excessive weight" instead of the overused term "morbid obesity" shows a humane approach to a very complicated physical and mental health struggle that so many people deal with. Thank you Dr. Youn. Great video.😊❤👍🏻
3:02, About people who enjoy or dislike eating sounds:
For some people, eating sounds triggers the ASM response (asmr) in the brain & gives them a pleasant, gentle, tingling sensation around & behind their ears & neck.
but for others who have Misophonia for example, it can trigger the fight-or-flight response & feelings of stress instead.
This may result in flinching at the sound, and trigger feelings of disgust, anger, avoidance (of the noise), etc.
In this way, different people can experience polar opposite reactions to the same stimuli. Its just how the brain processes the sound.
Anyway, since she says she makes fetish content, its likely not for ASMR.
Some people have a "feeding" fetish where they enjoy the idea of overfeeding someone & watching them grow. I dont understand it myself, but thats what it sounds like shes catering to, not an ASMR-focused audience.
It's sad to see how she has suffered. I hope she is doing well. I was 318 lbs and on my own WL journey. Down 35 lbs in 10 weeks. I will never allow myself to be fat again, after I get to a reasonable level weight. I will NOT fail. I love me too much to be unhealthy again.
I do NOT like watching or listening to people est, but I wouldn't mind making money myself by doing it, as long as I could stay on my keto diet.
I think it's an emotional connection between adverse childhood events and eating disorders. My parents were apart before I was 1 and my dad was on drugs and blamed me being born, all they did was scream and treat me like a burden- I'm 25 now and I'm not even 90lbs because I feel so guilty about needing food, I feel undeserving, I feel like what they taught me I am...a burden. Only now I'm a burden to myself.
Sorry you had to go through that, you didn’t deserve that ❤
Everyone has different capacities, sounds like your folks were struggling, but if you had been born to capable parents, you wouldn’t have felt like you were a burden 🙂 Be kind to yourself xx
What that woman needed the most was mental help. I hope she is getting it now in addition to the other stuff she needs.
And more social support, too. I'm not sure of her whole situation, but it seems like she doesn't have anyone in her life to help her at home or support her emotionally.
Omg, NO, I’m a RN and I could hardly even stand to pick up the used food trays when I worked the occasional day shift (normally a night shifter). Looking at the half eaten food made me wretch more than cleaning up bodily fluids for some reason 🤷♀️. I feel sorry for this poor woman and anyone addicted to food. She is a prisoner in her own body 🥺
I had gastric bypass in June. My weight loss started pre-surgery with the liver shrinking diet, but Ive lost over 90 pounds so far since May 1st (within 15 of my goal).
According to my nutritionist, I've already lost all I can expect to lose from the surgery itself; the rest is due to my efforts. I work my a** off at getting healthy. I watch my macros daily, and I swim different guided workouts (current focus is on IMs, so i have a lot of focus on core strength) at least 4 days a week. My particular reasons for getting this surgery include so much more than mere weight loss. I'm not ready to be diabetic or lose my mobility at 47 (I have CMT, and mobility was decreasing dramatically).
Dr. Youn is sooo right. I had to be ready to make this change. The best part of my weight loss journey is that i have no loose skin anywhere without extra surgery, I guess in part due to all the protein now in my diet and all this exercise. Anyone who's motivated enough can do this. Some of us just need help when diet and exercise alone don't cut it. 14 inches off my body so far and I just hit a healthy BMI and body fat percentage! I wish this woman all the best.
A food addiction is worse than a drug or alcohol addiction. You don’t need drugs or alcohol to live but you do need to eat to stay alive. The difficulty is the line between eating for sustenance or feeding a binge.
I agree with Dr about neither wanting to see nor hear people eating.
I don't pay attention to people around me, let alone online. Fortunately, she made it a job. From what I read downtairs, she is at 500 lb now. Girrrl! We are rooting for you!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It’s amazing that she carried that much weight for so many years and it didn’t claim her life.
I was not able to do activities of daily living. I used to be a kiteboarder (a very active sport.) My doctors tried to convince me the difficulties I was having were psychological. I begged for testing and was told I was fine and having tests done was my problem. It turned out that I had pernicious anemia. Not related to being overweight, but when you suddenly can't physically bathe yourself regularly, reasonable doctors should know something is wrong and it's worth trying to help the patient. My doctors just cast me aside. They literally ki ked me out of the practice for being a pest because I was trying to get help from them with a medical condition.
I find you so friendly and so interesting in all your videos regardless of the subject. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all these people on UA-cam. You are doing beautiful work.👏👏😊🇨🇦
In January 2021, I was 361 lbs. I had to do something. I started with a bariatric surgeon in April 2022. I had my roux-en-y surgery in January of this year. I'm at 243 lbs now. I can't hardly stand the foods I used to love. I can eat half of a bag of small baked fries, but I don't enjoy them. I'm no longer a fan of fried foods. The bypass was the best decision I ever made. My goal is 150-165 lbs, and as the fat goes, I can see the body I was meant to have.
Thank you for explaining ACE's. It's not only just eating disorders. ACE's effects the physical health including cancers and other terrible disorders and diseases.
I definitely want to buy your book, it sounds fantastic! You're one of the providers who I would truly trust is selling something you think is in your patient's best interest
I have misophonia. People eating sounds are a big trigger for me 😖
I have misophonia and people coughing and clear their throats are the trigger 😢
I have misophonia about finger nail clipping. Or toe nails.
I have a friend that has Misophonia. He only eats alone and he wears headphones with music while he eats.
Samantha go girl! You can do it!! Thanks dr Youn that you encourage us positively!!
Dr. Youn , you are so compassionate.
There are men that look better and better as they age :)) You belong in this Group Dr. Youn :))
It's amazing that some people are able to digest so much food! I am a 6'1", 175 lbs male, and I can barely consume 1500 calories a day because if I eat more I will simply be unable to digest all the food and will not want to eat half of the next day! I can't even imagine how hard her body works to produce enzymes, stomach juice, bile, etc. just to get all that food digested
either you're losing weight or (most likely) you're eating more than you think you are. if you were eating 1500 calories at your height & weight, you would be losing a lot of weight because you'd be in a significant calorie deficit.
OMG.... I have no words. I prey Samantha gets better so she can be healthy and a good mom.
This is why I love Dr Youn. He doesn't judge anyone he simply understands everything. I wish more medical professionals would be like this! And I am with you Dr Youn I hate that noise and I hate the sounds of utensils scraping together too.
Dr. Nowzardan is a legend; he doesn't mince words and he doesn't put up with manipulative patients; I miss him being the main bariatric surgeon on this show. It's not the same without him.

Hey Dr. Youn - I am 44 and feeling and looking slightly different. I'm visually seeing changes to my skin (face) feels soft and smooth but looks textured. Don't know if I'm in perimenopause or not. But could you do a video on women of my age and things we can do to slow the crypt keeper process? lol.... I am going to be getting some of the vit. c you suggested in another video, are there any other suggestions for women in my situation. Foods that may need to be eaten daily or weekly or supplements that actually have what they say in them. Thank You
Dr youn, im always appreciative of your post. I’m curious Are you accepting emails from people who are enduring with a unique diagnosis? I’m a college student and one of my career goals is public health.
Such compassion, empathy and understanding. I like your channel 😊
I had the gastric sleeve after gaining a ton of weight from a work accident (I was always heavy though). I couldn't be happier to go from a size 20/22 to a 4/6! I lost 170lbs! Eating disorders suck!
You are a very compassionate doctor. ❤
You can also get lymphedema in one limb or area of the body if you have had enough traumatic injury/surgery in an area. In my case, scar tissue disrupts the lymphatic draining. I have one foot/ankle that are affected. I manage the condition with a water pill and heavy compression for 14+ hours a day of that leg and foot.
I had a fall and one of my legs swells more than the other too.
I appreciate your spirit of empathy during these videos.
My ACE score is 8. I had binge eating disorder and I currently have RA & fibromyalgia.
I've lost 200 pounds and no longer am using food as a drug.
👏👏👏
As someone with misophonia, I'd rather pay money to not hear someone eat 😂
Same!!
I always wonder how their skeleton can support that amount of weight and also how it must displace their joints and organs. I have nothing but respect for people who give it their all to try to reclaim their lives from any addiction.
I always say being addicted to food is the worst addiction. Imagine trying to break this addiction , but when you walk outside there is fast food EVERYWHERE! I definitely have an addiction , but have finally got my willpower. I realized my life was going to be in danger if I didn't fight my past. If you feel you are an emotional eater , see a therapist. My addiction definitely is mental and I had to confront everything. Since then my cravings have gone way down! I will never go back to being that little girl I once was ( I was haunted by my childhood). I am now a strong women who will not be defined by weight or food ❤❤❤
Well, yes, it's been said for decades now how extra difficult food addiction can be because with drugs, they're something you can go without once recovered. But with food, you cannot ever go without. We have to consume food.
I still struggle with eating disorders myself and yes, childhood abuse is part of it.
I hope you continue to do well. 😊
After 60 it is really hard to lose weight. I exercise and count every calorie and it took me a year to lose 20lbs. I was not morbidly obese just overweight but still. Long time. I believe all of this is a metabolic disease.
I am honestly with you Dr. Young. I don't enjoy watching people eat, even a family party or a dinner in a restaurant are disturbing to me. I don't eat out, and cook at home, so I don't have to look at others eat. Some people have a fetish where it brings sexual satisfaction to watch others eat. Yes, I certainly don't enjoy the sounds, the look, or etc etc watching others eat. My daughter as a infant, was the only person I enjoyed watching while she ate- as I knew she was eating to grow and to be healthy as she grew. I congratulate this women for only showing herself eating, and not anything worse. She's self employed without having to be ashamed of showing sex acts or etc.
Look at people in the years past where there was much less obesity and many of these people suffered traumas in their lives
We do not use self control anymore which is one of the fruits of the spirit !!!
I love to watch and listen to people eat. It keeps me from eating myself.
I love how Dr youn shows genuine care for these people. I also agree eating ASMR is not my thing it grosses me out but to each his own I guess.
After my surgeries to resect a pituitary tumor, I gained 300 pounds within a few weeks.
That was 20 years ago.
In the meantime, I’ve recently managed to lose about 150# of that weight. Previously, I’d hit a plateau between 350 and 400.
That said, now that I’ve lost the fist half, I wonder if it’s appropriate to be assessed for an initial skin removal.
I know there are limits on how much you can take at once. I also am 99% sure I exceed that amount in the extra skin I will eventually have, if I teach my goal.
The extra skin is already interfering with my ADLs to varying degrees. In particular, movement (exercise) can be impeded by the bulk.
You can't gain 300 pounds in a few weeks. That's physically impossible.
You can absolutely seek a doctor to get an assessment. They can give you some goals to work toward or a better outline of their criteria. Great job BTW, that's hard work
I don’t like watching people eat. I like seeing someone enjoy eating something I made, but I don’t continue to watch. I feel like eating is kind of a private action- I don’t like being watched while I eat.
She should be very proud of her progress. Losing this much weight takes a lot of self discipline and making this a lifestyle is admirable. Ongoing counselling might be something to investigate. Best wishes and congratulations...you earned it.
You post something and I got to watch it haha😊 you are one of my favorite doctors on youtube
I agree with you Dr Youn I get grossed out too when I see or hear someone chewing loud
Fun fact there is a genetic basis for aversion to the sound of chewing. Researchers have found a locus near TENM2 gene that can be used as a marker for aversion to chewing.
I really hope it works for her and one day be able to face whatever it was that happened to her. I wish her courage and luck.
Hey there Dr. Youn, I'm with you when it comes to people eating around me. I can totally hang out with people while they eat, but not if they are making a bunch of noise and smacking their mouths.😅
The fetish is two step. The first step is someone eating, then there are people who like watching people not only eat, but obese people eating.
At first you have to feel sympathetic for her how this has affected her life, then you have to wonder about how they get all that food. Are they using delivery services to get what they want or are they dependent on others who enable her to eat like this. We have seen people's spouses and families who provide them what they want, but a single person has to spend several hundred dollars a week to feed themselves to get 10,000 calories a day.
🤮🤮 never help these people.
Forget that, how was she getting 12,000 calories of food in a hospital where she was on a restricted 1,200 calorie diet for her health? Somebody was enabling her then and I think it’s her mother. Sick thing to do.
Before these extreme weight reality shows, I’d only seen elephantiasis when we lived in Asia, where some people had been infected with a parasite causing schistosomiasis (carried by fresh-water snails) while working in flooded rice paddies.
Good to hear she’s taking action to be responsible for her health and weight loss journey
Made the mistake of watching this while eating breakfast.
My childhood definately shaped my eating habits. Food was almost always the only comfort.
I ate through bariatric surgery I had 14 years ago and gained almost all my weight back. Currently losing again through the discovery of intermittent fasting and calorie reduction. No major changes in what I eat, obviously I avoid most sugar and heavy carbs. If I can do it so can anyone else.
3:02...Def do not like sitting there, specifically watching someone else eat. Also, when I'm eating a meal with someone, if I can HEAR them eating...I have contemplated their death 😂😂😂
I’m with you Doc. This just totally grosses me out!
I love watching mukbangs. I eat vicariously through them.
Oh hell No!!! It's disgusting to hear all that smacking etc..🤢🤮
I enjoy ASMR but watching people eat and basically mouth sounds gross me out too!
It's amazing they live as long as they do. 🇦🇺❤️
I absolutely love your facial expressions in these reaction vids lol
I have misophonia, can't handle hearing people eat 😑 aaaaaaaaahhhhhggggggg!
OMG I am hypersensitive to noise..hearing someone it eat among other things literally irritates my soul!
No... the sounds of people eating loudly actually drives me into a rage...i cant express how much i hate it.
No I don’t like the sounds of people eating or watching them I ❤️💙❤️ your honesty and really caring reaction GOD BLESS 🙏🏽🙏🙏🏻
No, I don't get "kicks" for watching people eat.
I can't imagine how she affords it.
Social media ad revenue?
She's mostly bed-bound, so she would save money on a lot of cost of lkving things like going out and socializing with friends, going on holidays, owning and driving a car, taking public transport, etc etc. which makes her even more reliant on food as a source of entertainment/comfort I imagine!
I like watching people cook, and mostly ethnic food (I'm middle eastern, and usually coming home from school or visiting my grandparents after church and smelling food was a comforting thing) I think by age 7 or 8 , I would help my mom cleaning and washing the rice , frying eggs, make Christmas cookies, and mixing ingredients for patties. However, it never made me eat more or less because half of the satisfaction was from making the food and feeling secured that you will never be hungry since you are learning how to make good meals from simple ingredients at a young age.
I like watching people eat. Sometimes it makes me hungry or wanna cook or it can make me wanna exercise.
So for Youn’s two questions: mental health and ED, as well as unorthodox mature interests, I might have context for both-
I’m a 21 year old trans man with an expansive background of maltreatment and got into the foster system at 16. I’m 5’8, 220lbs, and struggle a lot with going back and fourth between hiding and excessively eating junkfood and skipping meals because of emotional lows or intentionally ignoring my needs.
Seeing someone like Samantha it might be hard for a person not to feel annoyed; “why would a person continue to do what hurts them??”, but it just really isn’t that simple- it isn’t a matter of “well if she just had more self discipline”, and it’s really valuable that Youn can see that-…
As far as being a cam model thing- there are folks who are attracted to weight gain/plus sized individuals, over-eating, passing gas, swallowing, etc. It’s valuable not to shame people for these unorthodox interests- though for Samantha it was not good for her health, it at least provided financial support when there weren’t other options.
As for watching people eat nah it grosses me out how people eat especially if it's a mukbanger who stuffs and eats enormous portions in one sitting.
My daughter had a bypass about 10 years ago but for her they bypassed her stomach totally. She have kept her weight ever since. We live in Sweden.
The body is a marvelous thing. It helps the heart all it can to maintain cardiovascular efficiency.
