This is the most I have *ever* seen Dr Now spend time talking to a patient. This is quite the attempted intervention.

She must be related to Mumbles from that Fat Albert cartoon on Saturday mornings I remember as a kid.

Wow. I trust you. But I know my veins. That’s the reason she semi apologized. Her third time and he’s been nothing but rude. How much weight has she lost in 3 months??? 6 lbs? She’s living in an alternative universe.

Oh sweet Jesus on a sprinkled donut cross! 4 lbs lost and here comes the parade of excuses. We SAW you eating entire pizzas. I followed the diet (bS!) I did exercise (with no effect) My Mom isn’t well (last time she said depression helped her lose weight) Have to have my person draw blood (what’s up with that? Hiding something?) If she can’t stay on the diet the surgery won’t help her. Dr Now pretty much lays it out for her. Tantrum ensues

“I hope when I go back this time HE TAKES ME MORE SERIOUSLY...” Loses 10 lbs (not 20). “That’s not as much as you should have. So tell me what your doing”. “Blah blah blah” ”Uhh okay. But you are blowing through 4000 calories a day.”

Yes I realized my pre commercial break estimate was way off when she stood next to the closeT door and got dressed for the trip. Shorter than I first thought and not as wide as the seated intro implies.

Thank goodness for the commercial break. Roku home, —> settings, —> accessibility, —> closed captions: Always ON.

637. Ok after that full box of chicken 639.

Hello pounderfolks, mY first live chat from the west coast on the east coast SlingTV TLC feed. Quarantine has its perks. Currently scarfing blueberry bel vita cracker cookies and a diet sodie. First laugh of the night. Rainbow sprinkle donut as a side dish. My s/o loves those and is skinny as a rail. Can’t wait till we watch the replay.

Missed the live chat. I’m hoping to make it at least once during this “stay at home“ time. So we are watching tonight. Dinner was yummy fish, baked potato and diet sodies Opening scenes: she’s got a front butt. I have to say I am hungry watching this! Pizza, cookies, bacon! I guessed 587 on the 3 month. It a was 590. Hire me for the weight guessing booth at the fair. The more I watch this, the more I think they should START with three months of therapy over Skype or FaceTime Before he even sees them. Classic codependency from unresolved divorce trauma neither of them want to confront it. ” That’s hanging pretty low there.” - Dr Now.

Hahaha. This is exactly what my s/o just said. We are catching up with Dr Now on Friday night.

This episode required subtitles to understand her mumble-slurred narration.

Oh my god. What a piece of work. approximate quote: “We all agree [me and my enabler minions] agree that Dr Now putting me in that position of losing weight over three months was unfair.” “.. and I’ve sacrificed the life I had to come here to Houston”. She was weeks away from being the heaviest corpse in the history of the state, but yes she sacrificed all of that.

The physical therapy at the apartment. Joyce says Dr Now wants her to not use the oxygen so she’s only using it when sleeping or exercising. But she’s wearing the oxygen as this narration is playing. The PT guy is so nice. He encourages her to take off the 02 line and exercise with checking of oxygen as they go. There first exercise involves lifting up feet and moving in the chair. My s/o says “What is she doing?” I say “Wobbling back and forth”. He says “That’s exercise?” Then the 1200 excuse a day call... It's the program that’s failing not me”. We both yell at the TV.

Sooo... I’ve been doing my Dr Now voice at home and repeating favorite lines like “salad free zone”. Now I made an iPhone Animoji of Dr Now so he can speak. Here’s a look.

We are finally catching up via DVR to this episode. A Valentine’s Day treat. First thing - holy mother of gross! That second belly looks like a ripe cheese rind with warts over the top of the green mold. Imagine the stench? Then the close ups and the bathing. Good lord good lord almighty. One for the ages. How is she even alive.

We refer to Mom as Benjamin Franklin.

“I think Tami is trying to use me as an escape goat.” escape goat. Hehehe.

At the housewarming we were trying to estimate the average weight of those in attendance. That and the total number of teeth. Maybe a full set if they shared?

The garter toss: My s/o says: “Ohh, who’d want that?” I say: “Maybe someone lost a fan belt on the way to the wedding.”

Pauline. Get off your chair and stop the poor me routine. We noticed with the physical therapist she can't even be bothered to put the arm weights on herself. She just sticks out one arm and makes him do it. Lame. I'm surprised when they removed that skin they didn't have 10,000 spare excuses fall out onto the operating room floor.

Dillon's hair cut. Holy Moe!!

Missed the live chat. My eating habit tonight is birthday cocktails and dessert at cheesecake factory. We've often noticed their bags when food is delivered on the show. I'll have to catch the 9 pm West Coast repeat for further commentary. Early thoughts: Will Pauline get hooked on the pain meds again with her skin surgery? What about that big girl June is internet dating? Is that a good idea, or the road to ruin? Stay tuned.

Well. That turned out well.

I noticed that too, however Dr. Now mentioned to her that she was young and in those cases recovery may be more complete without early skin removal so he advised waiting a bit longer and losing more.
