kittyinthecity March 9, 2017 Share March 9, 2017 I think it's really telling about how these people view food/their weight when they talk about their childhoods.

It seems like he just gives them a handout and they are on their own. Other people who actually had the surgery can chime in here, but when I was doing all the pre-surgery work, the dietitian gave us a plan (in a pretty brochure, not some mimeographed piece of paper, just sayin', style points count) and that was it. She wasn't going to check in with us, tho she was available for emails. I didn't have to lose weight before the surgery, I'm not as heavy as most getting it and was doing it to get rid of diabetes, so maybe it's different for the kind of patients Dr Now has, who are significant surgical risks and who will still be at risk even if they lose 30-50 lbs before the surgery. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/54797-s05e10-tanishas-story/#findComment-3060647

I keep going back and forth between being aggravated with her and feeling deep sympathy for what she has had to endure in her young life. Her youngest daughter, who is beyond adorable and very well spoken, blaming herself for her mom's weight because of how much she gained while pregnant with her; I really choked up at that. Her oldest daughter concerns me; seems a little checked out to me, although when she smiled at the 27 pound weight loss appointment, she looked so sweet. I hope that because she's also overweight for her age that none of the sexual trauma that happened to her mom has happened to her. Really thought she looked heavier than the scale indicated but Dr. Now explained that was her height of 5'1" which, if I am not mistaken, is the same height as good ol' Twitney on MBFFL. Hmmmmm.
