S09.E11: Shannon's Journey LIVE CHAT

[Guest]

"I wanted weight-loss surgery since I weighed 400 pounds."

But I didn't get it so now I weigh 700.

[Pepper Mostly]

NO SHANNON IT IS NOT GOOD! ITS CRAP! STOP IT.

[WonTon]

I'm going with 711 lbs.

[sainte-chapelle]

Does...does she just sit at that table staring into space until he brings her more food? 

[OoogleEyes]

Oh, her *dad* suggested she call Dr. Now.  Okay, another failure speeding towards us!

Weight guess: 646

[umgoblue]

I have wanted bypass since I was 400 pounds

Earlier:  I tried to follow my dad's two week liquid diet and COULDN'T...

Hmmm - me don't think this is going to end well!

[Pepper Mostly]

Weight pool? I'm going to guess 723.

[DropTheSoap]

It's the fried food special with a fried food special on the side and a fried food special for dessert.

I see success.

For the fried food industry.

Bethany was on earlier. At least Shannon isn’t murdering her daughters with food like Bethany.

And lying about eating protein bars for breakfast and lunch.

[Concerned]

707. Not the jet, her weight.

[Kid]

I think the end of this is obvious. She doesn't want to do this and she's only doing it at the request of her father.

Hey, she did not through hubby under the bus until forced too.  And Dr. Now has assessed quite well, I think.

Apparently. Sulking.

But it's not double.

[Suzywriter]

Shannon seems to have Amy Slaton's eye disorder. Or maybe she's just simultaneously looking for all possible sources of food.

Anyone care to play "count the leg creases"? 

[Scarlett45]

“I wouldn’t say that exactly”.....REALLY NOW??? Who else would be the enabler???

[ams1001]

Hubby is paid caregiver...

[Pepper Mostly]

She's already getting testy. This is going to be epic. 

[Hellga]

Sure, eating a crapload of fried food is exactly what you do when you are fretting about a weight loss appointment!

[WonTon]

Looks like he's paid in tattoos.

[fonfereksglen]

Hubby is a paid caregiver!  Hmmmmm...

[sainte-chapelle]

I love fried food but I could never eat it all day every day. I love burgers, potato chips,  and pizza too....but I also love salad and tons of veggies. I will never be a size 2 but I’m good with that. It’s about balance Shannon.

[Drogo]

"He's willing to do whatever it takes for me to get healthy especially if it involves Cinnabon stacking."

[Hellga]

678 - but it's been two years ago.  I would bet she is closer to 750 now...

That’s how Medicaid works. He also gets citizenship.

[sainte-chapelle]

Wait..he is a paid caregiver? What now? 

[Suzywriter]

I am curious to know how much the caregiver position pays.

[Guest]

"Give me your magic surgery so I can keep plowing 45 pounds of breakfast in my maw eternally!"

She's committed to doing everything we can which means the only thing she's committed to is failure.

[DropTheSoap]

"Bypass surgery is magic!"

[Twopper]

My eating habit was terrible to match my afternoon.   We had Totinos party pizzas (a friend used to be in charge of that division of whatever company makes them and I used to get coupons galore).  We finished it off with coconut gelato for me and the caramel salt one for him.  We split a box of Walkers short bread.  He had beer; I had water.   I am already in my pjs.  I want to go to bed so this better get interesting fast.

[umgoblue]

He is totally behind me 100%...oh you don't see him?  He is under my 300 pound batwing.

Yeah...he just finished buying and feeding me 5 fried chickens with sides and a diet Coke.  See how helpful he is?

Insurance will pay for a full time caregiver for a disabled person. That person can be a family member.

Oh thank heaven for 7-11

[Pepper Mostly]

Will Shannon take up bed jogging?

Could she stop with the "I can't give my husband what he should have" stuff?      

Those huge platters of eggs, pancakes, cinnamon rolls, and everything else are making me sick.   I thought one was the husband's, but his plate is tiny, and both of the mounds of food are hers.  

Cat ear headband, and coloring?     SHe must be four.    

Jamie's progressive commercial is hysterical.  

She had the equivalent of two or three McDonald’s deluxe bReakfasts!  Then she started on the fried chicken course. 

[Hellga]

Somehow I think it *will* be a problem with her husband if she loses weight.  Not just from the paid perspective.  I am getting some weird vibes from them...  and any time anyone says 'someone is 100% behind me' it never ends well. 

[WonTon]

Yeah, she sounds SO committed to this. I'm predicting another fail.

I am already in my pjs. 

I change into my PJs the minute I get home from work.

I'm tucked up snug and warm in bed with my laptop!

"Once I get what he sends me..."  Until then, she's gonna eat like there's no tomorrow.

[WonTon]

And where's Lola been? I miss her awesome wardrobe and wigs (no, seriously I do. I love her wardrobe.)

Private insurance also.

Oh, look ... it's the MacBook TLC totes around with the folding table to each Poundticipant's house. And removes it when they're done taping.

[Twopper]

I thought I put in a guess of 704, but it seems to have disappeared.  

[OoogleEyes]

I wonder what deep thoughts are going through her noggin?

[nytonc]

Hi pounders! Tuning in late, missed the last few weeks.  This one looks like a good one!!

[Suzywriter]

Look at the paint n sip artwork on the wall by the bed/folding buffet table. 

[sainte-chapelle]

PJs here too. Still on lockdown here so I wear jogging pants during work hours lol

[SunnyBeBe]

Man, I’m super late tonight.  I got distracted.  So, how’s it going?
