SkinnyMinnie March 9, 2017 Share March 9, 2017 Every time I watch this show and they are riding in the car I think to myself "That poor transmission". I'm glad I don't have any 600 Lb friends who don't own cars and need rides all the time. 8 Link to comment
Brooklynista March 9, 2017 Share March 9, 2017 (edited) Can she not see her daughters are headed down the same path to obesity?? Nothing like a healthy salad loaded with half a bottle of creamy dressing. I guess it's better than a chalupa. Edited March 9, 2017 by Brooklynista 22 Link to comment
Pers March 9, 2017 Share March 9, 2017 Her youngest daughter is adorable. I really hope Tanisha can turn this around. I noticed the bottle of ranch dressing on the salad too Brooklynista. Dr. Now will tell her off for it after the commercial. ;) 5 Link to comment

Kid March 9, 2017 Share March 9, 2017 Her oldest daughter is on the same path and her youngest daughter is just heartbreaking. The youngest thinks that she's the fault for all that weight! How awful and how unfair to that little girl. 20 Link to comment

Brooklynista March 9, 2017 Share March 9, 2017 Why doesn't Tanisha hop on in that pool? Even if she can't swim, simply walking from one shallow end to the other would burn a heap of calories. It's a great low impact workout. Wasted opportunity. 12 Link to comment
operalover March 9, 2017 Share March 9, 2017 (edited) 10 pounds - 11 pounds is nothing when you weigh 600 pounds....at least we weren't subject to a cross country move. She was bitching about 90 minutes in the car- try 5 days and breaking the bed in the hotel. Does Dr. Na know her mother died from obesity? Edited March 9, 2017 by operalover 4 Link to comment

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. So many of them say "I didn't struggle with my weight as a kid" but the accompanying pictures are of a pretty chubby kid. I know a lot of kids grow out of that and all, but it's interesting to hear their reflections. 9 Link to comment

What was the purpose of going to the pool - to watch the daughter swim???? I wonder if the new man was beguiled by the white lipstick. 6 Link to comment

Ms. Bubba March 9, 2017 Share March 9, 2017 (edited) I'm surprised Dr. Now doesn't employ a dietitian/nutritionist who can check in with the patient once a week and see what they are eating. It seems like he just gives them a handout and they are on their own. And obviously a lot of them don't get it, because we see them eating the wrong things.

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

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. Oh snap, she just quit Dr. Now while I was posting! Not good. 3 Link to comment
Brooklynista March 9, 2017 Share March 9, 2017 (edited) I wouldn't beat this woman's door down. There have to be plenty of patients ready to put in three work and do whatever it takes to have her spot Give her spot to her daughter. Let her get her weight under control before she's laid up in the bed like her momma. Edited March 9, 2017 by Brooklynista 11 Link to comment

I see this kind of thing with some of my students. You have a set of parameters (Dr. Now's diet) and within those parameters you have the freedom to make choices for yourself because one day it's going to be YOU doing it on your own and for yourself. Take some responsibility and ownership of the process. LEARN how to make healthier choices. Grow the F*** up! 11 Link to comment
