Thriftykins March 23, 2017 Share March 23, 2017 Well that was a refreshing episode. Tracey was like a model patient. She faltered a little by eating stuff she wasn't supposed to, but she didn't do terribly. She had a fairly positive attitude and a strong work ethic despite her bad childhood. Her husband was supportive but firm in applying tough love. Her legs were in terrible shape, especially right after the surgery, but she gritted her teeth and bore it. Great episode. Very unusual though, since like last week there was no bariatric surgery. Her problem seemed not as much severe obesity but more like severe lymphadema. I hope we can see a followup episode on her. 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/55246-s05e12-traceys-story/page/6/#findComment-3107122

Thriftykins March 23, 2017 Share March 23, 2017 The next episode will be a Mega-sized, 4 hour 2-parter aired in the 2 successive weeks. But this doesn't sound particularly promising.... On March 29th Steven and Justin's Story Part 18:00 PM on TLC, 3 hr 2017 TV-14 Part 1 of 2. Two brothers weigh nearly 1400 pounds combined, and their father drives them 35 hours to see a doctor even though they can't stand each other. Then part 2 on April 5th Steven and Justin's Story Part 28:00 PM on TLC, 3 hr 2017 TV-14 Conclusion. Time is running out for two brothers when one of them focuses on his new career instead of his diet, and the other spends a year on a weight-loss program but is completely noncompliant. Strap yourselves in.... this could be rough. 16 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/55246-s05e12-traceys-story/page/6/#findComment-3107147

Well she was at 400 at her last weigh in. The lymphadema mass Dr. Now removed was 10 pounds, plus 5 pounds of fluid. And it was the first of 4. So she's probably got about 45-50 pounds of lymphadema left up there, after which she'll be down to only 350.

And one more thing, since she didn't have the surgery, she could possibly go on a low carb high protein diet with yummy good fats.
