I wouldn't want to be in the room when she's finally "relieved" of her load.......

The medical professionals who have to deal with these poundticipants are definitely not paid anywhere near enough.

Because Colisea is probably always terrorizing her kids by darkly hinting that she could "die on the table". 

She could just as easily die at her kitchen table...

Someone give that woman sugar free gummi bears.. I had those once. Couldn't run to the throne fast enough.

We'd look adorable next to each other...my inseam is, no joke, like 26 inches. I am 4'10" on a good day.  Capri are the only pants I don't have to hem. 

My best friend is that height. Our parents called us Mutt and Jeff when we'd walk side by side to elementary school.

There are only four veggies. Potatoes, carrots, onions, broccoli. Anyone who sad there are others is lying.

I love vegetables. All of them. Except cabbage. The smell when it's cooking makes me want to throw up. The thought of eating something that smells like that also makes me want to throw up.

Is there a bucket on earth that is equal to the task? Shudder. 

[Concerned]

Can they do a sonogram?

[7EasyPayments]

There's a whole Taco Bell in  there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She hasn't pooped in TWO WEEKS?

I hope they have reinforced plumbing in that hospital.

Gross story but one time I woke up in terrible pain and my stomachs was distended....went to ER and all I needed was a laxative. I honestly thought I was dying 😆

She's got the constipation caused by opiates, I'll bet.

This was my thought, too. She upped the self-medication which upped the constipation.

There are some hilarious reviews for them on Amazon.

Smoosh over. We can take the train to hell together. Here, take some gasoline soaked drawers.

Sugar substitutes will do it.

She can use the dumpster out by the loading dock.

Good friend of mine is 4-10.  I'm 6-2.  We went to dinner one night and the waitress actually brought her a children's menu but upon seeing that Rosie was in her 30s....did not give her the menu.  Waitress thought she was my daughter even though 1) Rosie is 3 years older than I and 2) she's Puerto Rican and dark skinned.  I am pasty white.  

[String Theory]

Can't fit in the CAT scan??? Yikes.......

Ultrasound maybe?

How about an upper GI?????

[poeticlicensed]

Holy shit. She is too fat for him to tell if she has a blockage. That's crazy

[Callaphera]

"Body habits" with vague jazz hands over her stomach.

That's a new one, Dr. Now.

I really really regret not taking that suppository they offered me in the hospital after getting hit by the car and being on Oxy for five days. Like, it's been eight years and it's still one of the biggest regrets in my life. They aren't kidding about that (lack of) shit. 

Yeah. My mother had that same problem not too long ago. 

It's hard to imagine being sick as a dog, needing intervention, and being so fat they can't read the X-ray.

Maybe a bucket at a waterpark that dumps water, It could be self-cleaning.

It'll be fun. Of course, we'll have to stop for fast food half a dozen times on the way.

[Hellga]

Just like I thought, she is too fat for any tests to be definitive...  let's hope the meds will help, but she should not have waited for more than 1 week.  I have seen non-obese people die as a consequence of bowel obstruction...

I hope your friend takes advantage of that sometimes. It's so unfair that my friend gets in for the kid's price (or free!) and I have to pay for the full adult admission wherever. Of course, she has to wear lifts in her shoes to get on certain rollercoasters so maybe it evens out? 

We still take my friend trick or treating even though we're in our mid-30s. It's especially hilarious when they see her climb in the driver's seat of our car and take off afterwards. Heh. 

[DC Gal in VA]

Still not liking the sad music. I hope her heart hasn't suffered even more damage.

[poeticlicensed]

Dh was having severe lower back pain last year. He went to urgent care and they did and ultrasound and told him he was full of shit, literally. I've been having the best time with that ever since. They told him to use Mirlax and he was fine the next day but the bathroom had to be fumigated.

I love how Dr. Now had to stop for a second to find the right words to say to her about that too. 

[Chicklet]

Her body habitus (which is what he said he just mumbles a LOT) would prevent an upper GI from seeing anything either. I'm surprised they don't have an open cat scan at least where he is treating the super obese.

I'm a Julia spelled correctly and I didn't have any personalized ornaments, either. 

Fuck all the Julie-s, though. 

Now I have the John Lennon song 'Julia' as my ear worm! Gah!

[String Theory]

Another half an hour to go....this isn't looking good.  I'd hate to see what's in there when Dr. Now opens her up.  Guess that's one way to get a gastric bypass.  If her heart holds out...

Yeah. I learned when I was first diagnosed as diabetic to leave that stuff alone. It's not the answer to a sweet tooth. You're better off with a little of the real stuff or none at all.

It happened in 1993 and I still laugh about it.  She was annoyed at first.  Told me not to say anything to anyone at work the next day.  Too late.  I put a phone book on her desk chair and a small step ladder next to it.  ALso a few crayons on her desk with a coloring book.

I bet you could replace the colonoscopy prep drink with a bag of those sugar free gummy bears. 

[snarkish]

I couldn't understand a dang thing Dr. Now was mumbling about her xray!

My husband is Diabetic, and all the sugar-substitutes send him to the can "toot" sweet!

[Snarkastikate]

This is not a good sitcheeashun, folks.

[Twopper]

Not a good sitchuation that you are too big for a cat scan machine and you are so fat that they can't xray your insides.     Maybe that will make her more serious about her health.

I am sort of surprised that they haven't created a cat scan for larger people.  

[SunnyBeBe]

I’m late.  Looks like more of the same....week after week. 

[7EasyPayments]

Kinder Joy ?

Just give the kid a tub of frosting - 600 pounds here you come !!!!!!!!!!

[Chicklet]

Wait how does a c-section cause bowel obstruction when they don't cut into the bowel? Color me confused. What other bowel surgery did she have?

[Guest]

I can't understand a fucking word Dr Now is saying tonight. What did he say they diagnosed her with? And HOW was it diagnosed?

Or Julia Sugarbaker ranting, "The nights the lights went out in Georgia!"

Cauliflower's life could be a movie. Put Julia(ha!) Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, or Sandra Bullock in a fat suit, and it's another Oscar win.

Any abdominal surgery can result in scar tissue that can constrict part of the bowel.

[Kid]

God!! She is unlikeable.

 I’m sorry about what happened to her but, at some point, you have to put on your big girl panties be responsible for your life!!!   They broke ya but you got a fix yourself!!!

Now that she’s getting the surgery we will have her trying to con him for drugs.

My doctor calls artificial sweeteners "the devil's food." Diet soft drinks are especially bad.
