Randy's passion for losing weight and improving his health is evident, but his extreme approach of essentially starving himself to reach his goals quickly has led to health concerns. Recognising the risks involved, doctors advise Randy to slow down and prioritise his well-being to avoid another hospitalisation.

For every spoiled, ungrateful jerk we see on this show its so cool to see a man like Randy. Humble, grateful, soft spoken and with an obviously good heart. It's easy to root for patients like Randy. Wish him the best.
Steven Assanti has left the chat!!!
I agree wholeheartedly. Just a wonderfully uplifting episode!
What a beautiful young man. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes I because me so attached this this young man...
Now someone like LEE aggravated me to no end.. I was literally yelling at the tv.. idk him personally and don't know if he is really truly that was but if he is .. he better get used to being alone 😮
We don't get enough Randy's...my thoughts my prayers for speedy recovery and drawing near to your God helps keep the faith I hope and pray for him all good things
Dr Now usually asks people to lose just 40 lbs before surgery and they can't. This guy lost 112 before the surgery. Then people will dismiss this amazing accomplishment by saying "Oh you had surgery" as if it takes anything away from the hard work and dedication.
Even after the surgery, regardless of whether a person lost weight before or not, losing weight is an achievement.
You still have to maintain the habits that lose the weight.
I didn't lose anything before my surgery (didn't have to for my doctor and liquid diet was not possible due to going overseas for mine), but I am now officially 50 kgs down in less than 5 months. That's made EASIER by the surgery, but I still did the work.
@@FORGOTTENMINDFREAK23 I am morbidly obese (5ft7, weight unknown because I couldn't cope with the number on the scale) trying to lose weight now. I had lost 20 kgs before - and gained it back. Anyway you lose weight is a major achievement. I know how tough it is.
I see people "naturally" slim and a lot of them don't care about food, don't have a sweet tooth so for them it's easy to say JUST eat less. There's no "just" about it.
Congrats on your 50kgs. I hope next year I can report same.
@@FutureCommentary1 hear hear! I hope that for you as well.
@@FORGOTTENMINDFREAK23 The surgery did the work. You could have made things worse. For your sake, I am pleased that you learned to eat like a responsible adult.
This man is facing life and death consequences. The last thing on his mind is people gossiping about his weight loss journey.
Randy is the one patient on this show who pushed himself so hard to get surgery that he became malnourished. I appreciate his dedication, but being dizzy from hunger is zero fun. I hope he can balance his health. ❤
Well this was after surgery. Make sense he lost apettite after nit before.
He's 500 lb he can't be malnutritious his fat is storing so many vitamins and minerals the body will use that
@@Rocket9944 >his fat is storing vitamins and minerals
wut? lmao
@@Rocket9944Anyone can be malnourished regardless of the size. It does not matter if the foods are calorie dense, if the food not nutrient dense, this could lead to malnutrition
@@Rocket9944 explain then why they kept him in the hospital. his body was beginning to fail because of malnutrition, the video literally says that.
This is the first time I’ve heard doctor now say slow down . But he was causing his body harm and putting lots of stress on his body. I’m glad he’s still trying ❤
Mad respect.for doctor and his patient
He actually told Christina Phillips in her Where Are They Now update to gain 15 lbs because she was 10 lbs underweight and only eating 400-450 cals per day. Having a healthy body is the most important thing.
It can be really hard to understand healthy eating when you’ve never experienced it before. I started working out regularly at age 30 and it took that for me to realize that I chronically under-eat. I’m proud of him, food addiction is the hardest to overcome (in my opinion) because it’s the only substance you need to survive. You can cut out alcohol/drugs completely and be healthier for it, but not food.
Dr. Now was probably bewildered by the fact he had to tell one of his patients to eat more instead of less
Crazy but respect to the guy for trying. All the other ppl just couldn’t ‘stop’ eating lol
finding that balance is the hardest thing i've ever done. it seems like he's on the right track. mad props.
Yeah you can let a healthy diet slip into an obsession and eating disorder if you let it
@@GeoffreyBronson very true. it's also quite common to swap one eating disorder for another! that's what i did before i entered real recovery.
@@skrittle555exactly what i did went from eating so much to not eating at all
When Dr. Now says he's proud of you… That is like Paul Hollywood shaking your hand at the British bake off!
Yes 👏 yes this is so true 💜💜💜
Please take it easy.... You gained over years...lose it over time. Rooting for you..don't be embarrassed.... You are an encouragement ❤❤❤
Lose not loose loose is the opposite of tight lose is the opposite of gain
He’s not going to see this 😂
@@midnight_x_editsPlease use proper grammar if you're going to correct someone's spelling.
@@midnight_x_edits
OMG...You've changed the world with your comment! 🙄
@@farewelljupiter Oh wow! So enlightening 🥸
I feel for him. It's bad enough to be so overweight, but then to go in the total other direction, must be frustrating. Hopefully he works well with medical support because the last thing you want is to go through multiple types of disordered eating!
el medio de tus dedos
This guy inspires me as a recently diagnosed diabetic woman. If he can lose weight so can I.
Edit: Thanks for the kind words, everyone! I'm down from 201 to 185 lbs.
Yes, you can. Best wishes. ❤
Rooting for you❤
It's not that hard eat less move more.
Don’t stay sedentary if you can ❤
You can do it
As someone who has lost over 70 pounds in the last few months, I fully get it that you get in a mindset of constant weight loss. One of the hardest things I deal with now is not losing too much weight. I started at 265 now I’m in the 190s
That’s amazing progress! You can do it, you just gotta be patient and take one day at a time.
@@missagente8100 thank you
I'm male 6'2, pretty thin and have been between 190-200 for most of my adult years. 190 is good if you're male and tall
@@OffGridInvestor I’m 5’9, 5’10 on a good day lol. I like my current weight. I fluctuate between 195-192
Edit: and I’m a male
Im 6'1 205. I went down to 195 and felt ill so im gna stay between 200 and 210. I came from 290 so.
People like Randy warm my heart. Beautiful family. I wish I could find full episodes to watch.
Hulu and paramount+
All 11 seasons are on HBO MAX too
Great job Randy
I understand wanting to lose weight but not to starve yourself. Its how I originally started when I wanted to loose weight. I starved myself for weeks and just drink water thinking, "My muscles can eat all that excessive i have to maintain energy"
Until one day i passed out and was out for three days. My doctor told me the same thing Dr. Now told Randy. Took me that to understand that i was literally pushing myself too hard. Thankfully today I'm the healthiest i can be 😊
Lose! Not loose! Loose is the opposite of tight lose is the opposite of gain learn to spell!
@@midnight_x_edits agree
@@midnight_x_edits omg chill
@@midnight_x_editsits a simple typo, the deranged outburst was not necessary🤡im certain you can find attention some other way
@@teddymarian9416 im sorry you call that deranged? Please ive seen worse like yours with the stupid emoji now thats deranged
Seeing him working at the store and running around was awesome! He's the patient doctors dream of lol the independence he gained was so rewarding to see
I had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in 2002, and it has definitely truly saved my life, but I COMPLETELY ENTIRELY lost my appetite for TWO MONTHS STRAIGHT! Complete loss of appetite is real. Thankfully it doesn’t last forever, but it was the most difficult non-physical adjustment I ever had to work through! Still down about 170 pounds after over two decades! Randy just simply inspires me all over gain! 👍
The problem was he wasn’t getting and sort of vitamins or nutrients in. If he had at least been having a protein shake each day (can just have a mouthful each hour) with added minerals and vitamins in it then he likely would have been ok.
You can completely skip meals for days or weeks when you are this size, but if you don’t take in enough vitamins and minerals then you will end up with re-feeding syndrome or with muscle wasting if you aren’t also exercising.
This man deserves the world. What a lovely guy.
this is one of the most wholesome episodes ever. I wish him the best
Amen
His daughter is adorable. I'm so happy he's succeeding and adding many years onto his life that he can enjoy with his daughter.
I wish all patients had an attitude like Randy! God speed to you, Randy.
He’s really exhibiting some disordered eating signs. It’s hard to recover from any type of eating disorder because you have to eat, but it’s finding finesse in your eating. He’s making good strides, he’ll make it :)
From one extreme disordered eating to another extreme, both are so common unfortunately
@@arianaGG126Try Weed. You shouldn't be thinking about calories, because your body knows how much too eat. That's why you feel hungry and full.
But since an eating disorder is always a symptom of a desease, not the desease itself, I recommend psychotherapy. You seem to have lost the connection to yourself. If you can regain that, you will be able to trust your gut again.
Imo binge eaters / anorexics have a lot in common with hoarders. Both are destroying themselves, making it a gruesome sight for everyone else. Yet when you confront them about it, they refuse to let go of their "control" they believe to exercise. They want to have a say. They need something to manage. Yet all they are "managing" is their own doom. They don't see the problem anymore. And all that comes from underlying trauma, after which the person will shut down, dismiss real life and instead focus on abritrary things like hoarding or being obessive about food. These people lost all sense of control and try to regain it by controlling things, that should not be controlled / can not be controlled.
My heart is with you, get help.
@@arianaGG126Or you try LSD or shrooms. I have done microdosing quite a few times, it improves the neuroplasticity of the brain (you can change more easily, you can learn more easily).
There's really a lot of information on the internet that helps.
"Some disordered eating signs" the man was on my 600lb life.
What a sweet man. I am so happy for him and all he is accomplishing.
Almost everyone on this show gets lectured from Dr Now for gaining too much weight. This might be the first time ever Dr Now had to lecture someone for losing too much weight. I don't watch this show that much so I could be totally wrong though. While I know it is a bad thing that he was losing too much weight quickly, he should be proud that his problem is no longer having to resist eating too much food
In one episode (I think this was a "where are they now segment), Dr. Now had to tell a women that she needed to start eating more as she was becoming underweight.
i felt so proud of him at the end! him making food for his family was so sweet :)
Hell yes! You are doing amazing! I’m so proud of you for taking charge of your health without pushing into extremes! You look so much more alive through the new, healthy diet, keep going!
I bet he never thought he'd say he didn't have an appetite. Good luck, Randy.💙
The strength of that barstool is commendable
Sweet cuddle bear. What a pure heart. Soft spoken angel wishing him the very best.!
I'm glad they're showing this side of the weight loss journey as well. I've struggled with binge eating disorder trying to lose weight... which just complicates things. Keep it up Randy, I've been there! You got this!!
I’m crying, I feel his pain and I feel so bad for him. I have been starving myself to the point of malnourishment but add alcohol addiction on top of that. I feel guilty and scared after I eat. He is so brave and I am proud of this man for trying his best to better himself even tho he unfortunately went thru that malnutrition in the process. U could see such sadness and concern for himself with his expressions. I hope he reaches all his goals and lives a happy, healthy life. What a lovely, handsome man. You got this Randy!
Weed might just help you forget your inhibitions. Food is awesome when you're high. I'm a very skinny Dude myself, but unlike you I don't eat consciously. I get hungry, I eat. When I get high, I get so hungry that I eat without a second thought.
Not sure what your root cause is, but I know it can be a long way to change that. There was a time when I was super conscious about food too. That was when I worked in galvanics and the heavy metals fucked up my gastrointestinal tract. I had no appetite and food felt like boulders in my stomach.
Maybe you should go to therapy. I remember these months to be the worst of my life, and I've been trough other shit. Not being able to mantain energy through eating and digestions was terrifying. I was in abdominal cramps and exhausted all the time. The low blood sugar robbed me of all powers and joy. Then I became depressed.
It took me quitting this hellish job and 6 months staying away from any heavy metals to regain my appetite and a normally funtioning gastrointestinal-tract. I bet that your alcohol consumption and eating habits already have left a dent, which makes it hard to get back to a normal state.
Try weed, psychedelics and psychotherapy before you waste your life or do anything regrettable.
I'm so sorry to hear you're fighting alcohol addiction on top of struggling with your food intake. I lost my mom to alcoholism in 2021 and am a recovering alcoholic myself, and my mother was incredibly malnourished when she passed. Please make sure to eat something each day, even if it's a small meal. Trust me, it's better than nothing.
I also struggled with my alcoholism much worse after I had gastric bypass. I went from one addiction to another, I struggle with eating enough these days (on Saxenda now after going back up to 220 lbs) and have been sober for some time now. I do use weed when the nausea keeps me from eating enough.
@@devanov3103 "Dude just replace your alcohol dependency with some other substance, it'll be fine!"
Great advice.
@@ChrisRedfieldsbloodline I also don't think substance use is usually a good thing, but I have a friend who was very underweight and struggled with eating and cannabis really did help her. I wish there was a better solution, but this has had the least side-effects and her health has improved a lot. I've also seen cannabis destroy the lives of family and acquaintances, so it's not an easy answer. Weed would at least be better on the liver, too. Sometimes there's not a good solution. Ideally, if the OP could see a doctor and therapist and get it prescribed or something then it would at least be given in a supervised and well-advised way.
This young man has a wonderful attitude. Such an inspiration. He is such a good guy, repaying his family for their goodness ❤❤❤
Hope he stays on the right track so happy to see him able to spend more time with his beautiful daughter he loves her so much ❤
This was the best episode!! What a nice guy and a precious family!! Listening to him talk about how his life has improved brought tears to my eyes.
I went through this same situation. It’s very easy to allow things to get out of control.
You have to do what the dr. Tells you.
Prayers for you!!!
YOU ARE AWESOME
Seems like a nice young man with a decent and supportive family. How did he ever get to be this weight!?!
Eating disorders mixed with emotional problems and/or hormone issues can be a bitch
Dr Now is the only doctor I've seen who genuinely cares if his patients are overdoing weight loss. I've suffered with eating disorders for about 6 years now and I've seen first hand how hard it is for anyone who isn't a skinny teenage white girl to receive treatment for their eating disorders. Most doctors would be praising Randy and encouraging him to continue what he's doing, potentially pushing him into fully trading BED for anorexia. Replacing one eating disorder with another is not recovery and Dr Now understands that
What's makes you say that ? Have you had a bad experience with doctors?
@@Dropletsojoy I believe it. I have a male cousin who suffered from anorexia and nobody believed him because he was a boy. Good news is he is much better now living a healthy balanced lifestyle with a successful career and a wife and child.
Aww I’m soo proud of Randy! It’s so good seeing someone so sweet achieve their weight loss goal! I hope he’s doing well ♥️
He died a few years ago
@@bigmacsauce1953 Yea I found that out after the video. Still proud of him either way 💪🏾
His dad was there to tell the truth.
Great 👍 dad
Awww he’s adorable. I hope he continued to do well after the 12 months.
Randy has such a soothing voice and way of speaking. Would love to hear him do a podcast or audiobooks.
Congrats Randy! Keep it up!
Its so great he gets to be a father again. Shes young enough that he'll be able to build real memories with her. Congrats!
😢 Dr. NOW and his patience.
That's the shittiest thing in their situation. keeping their weight can kill them but... losing weight also has its share of threat. A rock and a hard place.
I had gastric bypass ten years ago. I lost the desired weight but also lost another 35 pounds which ended making me seriously looking malnourished. I am 5 ft, 9 and was down to 125 pounds luckily I was able to balance everything out
I’m also 5’9”, 120 lb, but you as a man, 125 is seriously seriously skinny.
Nice guy! Best of luck to him in your weight loss plan. Just don't starve yourself! It takes time to loose weight. I know from personal experience.😊
I'm so happy for him and I wish him and his family the very best!
At least Randy was so determined too lose the weight … he didn’t complain about it, he starve just too get healthy
I’m soooo proud of him and this is my first time seeing anything about him. Such a great soul ❤
I'm having a Gastric bypass in a few months, i knew you had to lose weight carefully but I didnt know it could land you in the hospital for that long wow... Good to know.. and glad to see him doing so well
Dr's typically ask patients to lose 10 % of their weight before bypass surgery. I had gastric bypass in 2009. Not having an appetite is not unusual. I never feel hunger. So I can understand where he is at.
Randy has the cutest little nephew! Look at that adorable baby awwww🥺🥰
What a sweet man, I love his attitude and how he handles criticism.
Seems like a lovely individual
so very proud of you randy keep goin!!!!!! it will only get better and better!!!!! god bless!
He's so wholesome. And he truly started to eat so healthy, like damn. But I think this is also thanks to his family who was really trying to help and wasn't enabling him for their own benefits
Yes the first time I've seen the Dr. tell someone to slow down!! Best of health to Randy!!
RANDY YOUR NOT A FAILURE !!!!
YOU HAVE THE HEART OF A WARRIOR !!!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I feel for him ❤
This put a big smile on my face 😁👍. I'm so proud of Randy he looks really good. His story is very inspiring and he shows that if you don't give up you can reach goals you never thought was possible.Amen.😊
Keep up the wonderful work you are doing. You will reach your goal, but take it slow and one day at a time. i wish you well and many years of happiness with your daughter and family!
You usually find that the rest of the family of these poor people are also grossly overweight. It’s a family thing. This guy is awesome
I'm legit crying. So awesome! Nice one, Randy!!!!!
Good for him! Such an awesome video. You can see the joy in his eyes. What a delightful story ❤🎉
This is amazing, God bless you, proud of you Randy and much love from Zim♥️
Don't be too hard on yourself. We all fail to achieve our goals at times but the solution is to adapt and overcome.
This is a great success story and for such a great man. Congrats! You deserve happiness!
Randy’s a real sweetheart! Such a positive attitude. Awesome young man! Wishing you continued success.
God Bless this man! Proud of him!
I have NEVER heard this doctor tell someone to slow down.
I did the same thing and was weak and miserable. It sucked.
Good for you Randy God bless you. don't give up you can do it.
Great work Randy. You are an example of how it takes dedication and perseverance to lose weight.
God bless you.
So proud of you. I'm so glad you have a supportive family Randy. Best wishes. ❤
What an inspiration! Shout out to Randy!
What an amazing, grateful young man. We all can learn from him and his accomplishments!
Don't give up Randy! I feel your pain and I can relate. Finding that balance is scary to me too. It's easier to flip the mental switch and cut off the food and its easy to flip the switch the other way and indulge, but finding the balance scares the heck out of me because I also worry that my will power isn't going to be strong enough to eat healthy. With drinking or drugs, you just quit. Can't do that with foo. I'm pulling for you dude, much love.
I sure like Randy what a decent guy he is I wish him a lot of luck I'm sure he'll do great!
Clearly randy just struggles with extremes, he went from the extreme of eating massive amounts of food to the extreme of eating nothing. I’m glad he’s doing better and I hope he’s doing great now
Am so very happy and excited for you and I am hoping that you stay dedicated and keep the good work up 😊❤ you did a great job!
I’m so happy for him !!! He did this so well he wanted it bad there’s no way anybody else couldn’t want a life like this he’s GOALS !
I am soooo happy for you 🙏. All the best in your journey 👍
I am rooting for you here in England. Stay strong and Enjoy.your Amazing weight loss. Dr. Now is proud of you and so am I!! Bless you. Keep up the good work, I am sure that you can do it.
What a great man! I wish Randy all the best!!
Omg I cried throughout the entire episode. Lol Randy won my heart❤ what an exciting propect for his future!! Pls follow-up with Randy down the road!
God bless him well done.....
Tough journey. Glad he is doing it!
He’s the sweetest person
Hope everything goes smoothly for him
I feel for you Andy I was over weight and always told I needed to lose weight. When I got in high school I would starve myself and developed an eating disorder I really hope that doesn't happen to him it's was the hardest thing I ever went through.
What a great young man. I'm so happy for you and your family.
Go slow Randy, I'm praying for you
Awesome, congratulations Randy keep up the good work 👏
I hope everything goes better for him
Randy has a beautiful supportive family.
Congratulations, watching this just motivated me to make a change.
So happy for you Randy❤️❤️❤️ you earned it, be proud of yourself. You achieved so much 👍 stay healthy for you and your Family.
I can relate to this particular guest. Pushing yourself so hard you faint because you are just too set on seeing results quickly
Congratulations randy I'm so pleased for you lots of love from the uk
He really wanted this and am happy for him I love how supportive Randy family is, they are just awesome ppl.
🤗🤗🤗🤗 So wholesome! I'm so happy for him and his family!
This man seems so genuine and caring - what a fighter!
Young man your putting in the effort. Listen to the doctor. Im proud for you. dont be discouraged. Most people dont try. You will do great with your attitude!
This brings up a really good point that some people have no baseline of what is an appropriate amount of food in ether direction. It’s an education that some people need and shouldn’t be ashamed of. He really had the potential to go frome over weight to anerexic
