S10.E13: Larry's Journey LIVE CHAT

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Quote

For Larry, a second weight loss surgery would mean a second chance at a career as a gospel recording artist. But a beautiful singing voice doesn't pair well with a 600-pound eating habit. If Larry can't make the choice to change, then no one can help him.

Good evening, Pounders!  I hope all are well.

[aliya]

Hey gang!  My eating habit is ground beef w/onions, peppers, & Prego. I might have some grapes later. Go tell Dr Now. I don't care.

[Drogo]

Eating habit: Grandma pizza.  6 slices.  Growing boy.

Hi Pounders! To quote one of my favorite podcasters, I'm glad you're here.

Turned on TLC after Jeopardy to find 90 Day Fiancé and some woman telling a man "you ejaculate." Turned it off and read until the show started. Dinner was a bowl of Cheerios (also a Jeopardy clue in a category about Cereal), because I'm on day two of a migraine and I couldn't stomach anything else.

I have a moral dilemma: I'm reading a library book, which I started a few weeks ago, managed about 106 pages (of 568) and couldn't renew because it had holds on it. So I returned it and put it on hold again once it cleared off my account. I got it back about a week later (I expected it to take much longer), and now it's due tomorrow and again it has holds so I can't renew it. I'm on page 302 and I could finish it over the weekend if I push myself (I have no plans and the weather is supposed to be crappy on Saturday). I don't mind the fine for being late but I feel bad if I'm holding someone else up from getting it. But it's only a few days. 

I saw the name of tonight's poundicipant and my first thought was Mitchell and Cam's cat on Modern Family...

Hellooo...how y'all doing? I am eating a Michelina fettuccine alfredo with chicken and broccoli dinner. 🥳

[babyhouseman]

Hi everyone. Snow last weekend and possible snow this weekend in place that hardly gets snow. In the South, we eat snow cream. Probably not on the diet.

[TazDevil]

How y'all doin'?

I'm still reeling from Dolly's Journey last week.  Let's hope Larry's Journey is a bit more mellow!

[hookedontv]

How y’all doing my friends? My eating habit tonight is an Amy’s vegan meatloaf dinner and now I’m snacking on some popcorn. 
Not fresh food, but it’s low in calories. At least it’s not 15 eggs and 2 pounds of bacon….

[mmecorday]

Hello! My eating habit tonight was homemade Italian meatloaf with Panera mac n' cheese from the grocery store.

[sagittarius sue]

Howdy Pounders.  I'm on an eating plan that's led to losing over 5 lbs in a week.  I don't recommend it.  I had my teeth pulled and got dentures so I'm on a soft diet for about a month.  No chewing or biting, just scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, yogurt, cottage cheese, pudding, etc.

Anybody remember Michelina’s “Penne Pollo” variety?

[Pepper Mostly]

Hellooooooooo Fat Chatters! Happy to be here with you all! Eating habit, cheat day, turkey and Swiss sammie on sourdough bread, with baked potato chips and some cornichons. I hope Dr. Now won't be upset with me. I'm really excited about getting back on track. 

Are all my Northeast pounder pals well supplied with bread, milk and beer for our upcoming nor'easter? 

[Lillith]

Evening all! I can't imagine we can top last week but let's get our snark on anyway. My eating habit was a salad with shrimp, avocado and tomato with lime juice. No dressing. It was yum. 

[OoogleEyes]

Hiya folks! Time for another boring journey. Glad to be with you guys though 

[Auntie Anxiety]

It’s freezing here and I should have stoked up the wood stove but I didn’t want to have to keep getting up to tend in and miss out on the snark. 

Weight unknown is never a good sign.

[umgoblue]

Hey Pounders!! I'm here...and on time!  Eating habit: Chipotle...

I think the Chipotle Dude knows my order now.  Not sure if is a good thing that when I walk up my bowl is already half made.  Hanging my head in shame.

Yes, but I never tried that one.

[Chicklet]

Evening everyone, I did not have the cupcakes today, and no sugar, I should get a medal. I think I'm still scarred from last week though.

[TazDevil]

"actual surgical procedures"

"weight unknown"

Dis could be a bad sishuashun....

[ams1001]

45, weight unknown, sleeping with a CPAP and... a pile of laundry?

[Drogo]

That house! Are his sisters DJ, Stephanie and Michelle?

Hang in there!! Have you tried putting a slice of pizza in a blender? 
Seriously, hope your mouth isn’t too sore. 

[mmecorday]

So Larry has a caretaker named Mr. Lawrence.

[Suzywriter]

Hi yall doin'?

[umgoblue]

Glass half-full in the first 30 seconds...a record!

Larry uses his CPAP machine!  Score.

[Lillith]

I'm not anywhare near that heavy but to be honest I wouldn't say not to a caretaker at this point.

I also had fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli but mine was from Wegmans takeout. May have a banana later. 

[sainte-chapelle]

Good evening all. Eating habit was pizza. Not on the diet but I’m not 600 lbs 

[babyhouseman]

Tattoos  Check.

He's already had one WLS.

[Chicklet]

Oh my the human version of a sharpei. 

Very flexible??

[Pepper Mostly]

Mr. Lawrence is going to be this episode's unsung hero, isn't he? I mean, feeding Larry has got to be a full time job.

My sister is in NC and was just telling me not being able to find a shovel or de-icer. I'm like - you live in a house - how do you not have a shovel? She said it was because she usually gets someone to shovel for her, but that's no excuse to me. People can't always come out when you need them. It's a different world up here in Iowa. Even when I can get help, you still need to have tools to get through the winter, just in case. 

[Suzywriter]

I like the caretaker already.

[Ivylady]

Finally made a live chat this season. Hi, everybody! Tonight's eating habit is homemade pasta e fagioli and cornbread. I'm having fruit salad for dessert.

I think we all are. 😂

[sainte-chapelle]

Good lord bleach?!?!

[CrazyInAlabama]

I live in lower ALabama, and it's supposed to be in the low 20's by Sunday morning, I'm hoping everyone covered the outside faucets, and keep a kitchen tap dripping.    If you have a frozen pipe, turn the faucet above it on, because (according to my plumber) that way the water can expand towards the sink (often the kitchen sink being on the outside wall is what freezes).   If you don't open the tap, when the ice melts, the pipe expands, and boom.         

His leg looks painful, and infected.   Isn't bleach way too harsh on skin?    Schenee was another bleach fan. 

So, three sisters, and he was the only son.    He was getting big before he went to school.  200 lbs by 10 years old. 

I have never sung to my bacon.  However, that bacon looks good.

"I'm very flexible."

Washes with bleach...😳

[Pepper Mostly]

OH DEAR GOD HE WASHES WITH BLEACH

[Drogo]

Standing up for more than 4 minutes is overrated.

[babyhouseman]

Larry looks like an elephant in a teacup.

[OoogleEyes]

OMG, another bleacher. He actually fits into the tub!

[Ivylady]

He's using bleach to wash himself? 😬 I know some people use it for eczema, but it seems extreme to me. 

[Suzywriter]

That is some butt, even blurred. 

[Miracle Maxie]

Didn’t Schenee also use bleach?

[umgoblue]

And my fellow germophobe cleans himself, using his flexibility to ensure that he cleans his ass!!!

Pretty soon I will run out of glasses.

He better work this, because I want him to be successful already.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Good Evening, pounders!

Dinner was leftover chicken Alfredo. Not a good guts day/night. Hopefully I’ll be able to keep up with watching. Good thing I’m not in Sharon’s car!

[Auntie Anxiety]

If we have to listen to him singing for two hours, I’m out.

[Drogo]

I’m sure our Lord appreciates you singing while you cook your poison.
