S08.E06: Travis's Story LIVE CHAT

[Chicklet]

Oh god Publix cakes, the raspberry cake is my jam. Literally jam in the middle of fabulousness. Thank god I don't live anywhere near a Publix 😞

[MelissaMinion]

Slippers!

[DC Gal in VA]

I've watched waaaaay too many of these shows since he doesn't seem all that big to me! What part of Texas is he from?

[ShortyMac]

"Are you ready for this doctor's appointment?" * mows down tacos*

Am I the only person alive who doesn't like ranch AT ALL? Give me blue cheese!

Neither. Tzatziki or bust. 

Chipotle mayo is also an acceptable choice. I'm multi-cultural with my dressing and dip choices. 

[Pepper Mostly]

The poor woman just walked in the door and he's telling her to pack. Let her catch her breath, Tubby. Jesus.

How much older than him is his wife that her kids are grown? Also, how bad were her previous relationships that she decided a 500+ lb dude who can't take care of himself was a good bet? 🤔 

He is 31 and she looks like she is in her 40s... so anywhere between 12 and 20 years, I think...  Maybe he is a nice guy and really can play instruments and do something other than eat (just doesn't want to)?

[SunnyBeBe]

I have an idea. Why not make a list of those Dr. Now has not approved for surgery and why. Then, you don’t have to wonder about it anymore.

[7EasyPayments]

7hunert, I call. 😁

[fonfereksglen]

Death sentence.  Foreshadowing?  He is not in good shape.

[Ivylady]

Bless the shocks and struts on that car. Whew.

[Concerned]

He is pretty mobile for 650 pounds. He’s walking, taking stairs, sat himself in the car.

[RedDelicious]

I’m guessing 687

[mmecorday]

These people act like Dr. Now is Obi Wan Kenobi.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Able to fit in the front seat AND wear pants that are not more holes than pant.  He's a keeper

[Guest]

Dr Now is his last hope everyone! LAST HOPE! 

Just wanted to make sure everyone knew that because it's likely it won't be repeated.

 

[Callaphera]

"I know I need Doctor Now's help or I'll never make it."

Except he said it was emotionless and quiet and like he really just doesn't give a shit and hey, guess what, Travis? I also don't give a shit. I'm not asking you to destroy eyeglass displays at the grocery store with your little putt-putt cart but daaamn, I might just start dinner early and ignore your ass. 

[Chicklet]

From behind he's very rectangular, very odd looking.

He sighs a lot too, never a good sign.

That's brilliant!

[CrazyInAlabama]

He's from Dallas, (actually Carrollton, TX, north west of Dallas) where his mother lives.  Travis, and the wife moved to where the mother lives.   

He's only 4 hours or so from Dr. Now's office, until you hit Dallas traffic.

[WonTon]

I'm guessing 642 lb!

He’s from Carrollton in the Dallas area.

[MsVixen]

675 for grins.....

Each one of those plates could feed a family of 4.  At least he eats courses on real plates.  His family shake their heads and cluck, but they bring him all the food.  It's like working for a one-person drive-thru.

They must spend $50 a day just on restaurant food for him.

[Chicklet]

635 I'm guessing.

He's too fat. Just ask him. He can't work. I'm sure if asked he'd explain that he can't stand for more than a few minutes at a time. Doesn't he have a desk chair so he can roll around the kitchen? 

He walked down those stairs, which I bet takes more effort than putting dishes in the sink. I don't like his voice, either. I don't know how else to say it, but it isn't masculine enough for me. I'm not surprised that it belongs to a guy who let a divorce, crappy parents, and a fondness for mayo take over his life.

Thanks. Well, no epic road trip with a dozen fast food stops tonight I guess.

[SunnyBeBe]

Ranch on pasta is popular in NC. It goes on everything...pizza, fries, meat, veggies...not fruit though. Lol I’ve tried it. Not bad. I dilute mine though.

So he won't be laid out in a van taking a hundred days to get there.

[Pepper Mostly]

I'm going high and guessing 692. 

[diet7up]

655 I’m gonna guess 

[88Keys]

What up, Pounders?!  Just now joining in.  What did I miss?  My eating habit tonight is homemade orange chicken, broccoli, and rice.  I may have some hot tea later.

Ranch on pasta? I sprinkle Parmesan cheese on it, but Ranch sounds gross.

I think it's kind of a lazy version of pasta salad (as long as the pasta is cold)!

That's some 250 miles.  That's many, many dozens of potential fast food pit stops for someone as dedicated as some poundticipants!

Oh ye of little faith. 🤣

[WonTon]

Who in the world is watching My Feet Are Killing Me?!?!? GAG! HURL! 🤢

[ShortyMac]

I know that watching these people eat is gross, but, man, it makes me want pizza and junk.

[88Keys]

658

[Concerned]

617

[Chicklet]

I was so close!

 

[Hellga]

Trip took a toll on me - check.

Nervous - check.

617 pounds only.  

[Ivylady]

617! Not as bad as I thought! 

[MelissaMinion]

617! Did I win?

[Guest]

Wait. Is his last name Travis or is it his first name? I swear I heard the assistant say another name before "Travis."

Hey, y'all! Tonight's eating habit is roasted chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and peas and carrots. 

That is my favorite dinner. I sometimes request it for my birthday (mom-cooked) instead of going out.

613?

[FormeryHeavyJ]

I'm over by a few lbs if we are playing Price is Right rules.  Oh poop

[ShortyMac]

He is 617.3lbs...

Seems desperate.  Even for TLC.
