[mysticalflute]

That... looks like the rehab center my grandma was in back in December...

It always looks like Dr. Now is hacking away...

And then the Frankenstein stitches.

Only 10 pounds of skin?  I'm shocked by that, compared to what others have lost (30+ pounds).

Mom is suddenly very interested in the fact that Dr Now is divorced and single

 

I think he is stingy with his money though from his divorce documents.

Lmao...we ask SOO little anymore...

As the song goes, "Doesn't take much to make me happy!" 

[hoosiermom]

This is such bullshit. She is just stalling. 2nd chance my ass!

[poeticlicensed]

Teretha doesn't look like she has lost any weight!

[Maggienolia]

OH. MY. GOD. THIS. B*TCH. BACK IN F*ING REHAB!!!!

[MsVixen]

She stood up.....

Big Freaking Deal....

[Armchair Critic]

You are strapped to a walker with 2 people holding you up... that is not really walking.

[mysticalflute]

Lisa Joyner just... shush. Please stop yelling at me.

[55Unicorns]

AHHHHHHHHH....fucking commercials....there.  Now I feel better.

And all the theatrics because she STOOD UP. The huffing, the sips of water. Really lady? Why not shoot for the moon and stand 2x.

[DC Gal in VA]

Progress, short period of time, Teretha please girlfriend, put down the pipe, blunt, or whatever you are smokin' and try to live in reality!

She also was sitting in the wheelchair! She was so proud! 

[Anchorabu]

Mom's heard "Lisa Joyner" so many times tonight now she's like, "Lisa Joyner? I know that name!" ?

[CouchTater]

Was that an ugly tattoo on her leg?????  Or scarring?  I honestly can't tell, and I have the screen on paused.  I think it's a tattoo.  Ugh.

But she made so much progress!

To be fair, if she really hasnt even stood up in 3 years, her muscles have probably atrophied and forgotten how to work properly.

[Miss Chevious]

She went to rehab and stood up for a millisecond one time and that was it for one whole visit? At that rate, she'll be walking 10 steps in 10 years maybe. 

[Armchair Critic]

Another commercial aimed at Gilbert - match.com

She hosts Long Lost Family on TLC but that's all I know of her.

Your mom has had me literally LOL'ing tonight.  Seriously.

Okay, I'll give her that.  But nothing changes if NOTHING CHANGES!

[chickenella]

 She's got 18 minutes to make some progress. 

[sainte-chapelle]

I missed it why did Chad have surgery on only one leg?

[hoosiermom]

Work called and wanted me to come in to work tonight! Thank God I am on medication and had a good excuse not to. Lol Besides, I don't want to get out of bed!

[Anchorabu]

Haha! Thx me too!!! ??

[Cherrio]

If I was the physical therapist I have a foolproof plan.

Play ''These Boots Were Made for Walkin"   by Nancy Sinatra non-stop until Teretha gets up and walks out of the room to escape the song.

Mean and cruel , but effective !

Now YOU can't get out of bed??? NOOOOOO!!  What is this show doing to us, lol...

WHAT in the holy hell is the payoff to staying in BED?!?!?

Disability checks for you and your caretakers; all the food you want, brought by those caretaker/enablers who are paid to be there; and plenty of pain meds to deal with the physical pain of being bedridden, 400 pounds, and immobile.

It's the perfect life for a food and pill addict, which I would bet that Teretha is. Most of these people are. They need Intervention as much as they need Dr. Now, and it would make a great crossover show. "My 600-lb. Intervention."

[Brooklynista]

I am so unimpressed with this woman.

That's a trick from 'The Walking Dead', Negan will get her moving.

[Anchorabu]

Mom regarding Teretha: "she had to go to Detroit to walk? Hell, I'd have walked in Texas..."

I'm guessing mobility concerns. It would be tough to have those healing incisions on both legs at once.

[CouchTater]

Just now, Brooklynista said:

I know!  I can't muster up any interest in her story.  She bugs.

[MsVixen]

It appears that Teretha has said screw losing weight.....

[Azubah]

Snark aside, everyone on this show and on Skin Tight makes the skin surgery look ultra painful.

[Armchair Critic]

Chad's wife definitely is no enabler...

Yeah- she definitely needs to get after it.

They always do one at a time, but I'm not sure why.

[Brooklynista]

Look at Chad! Hurting and a- moving. Thats right.  Like my Bikram instructor says, "its ok to hurt sometimes, you wont die."

[Azubah]

I think Aisha's putting on weight...

[poeticlicensed]

The juxtaposition of Chad who is in real post surgery pain yet pushes himself with Teretha who has 2 people holding her up so she can stand is just stunning. 

[sainte-chapelle]

Ah for some reason I thought he did both at once on other patients, thanks for clarifying!

[Azubah]

Dude, orange juice is straight sugar.

[junip]

Rehab is like daycare for Teretha. Just a hobby.

[DC Gal in VA]

Okay, is the show over or what?

[Miss Chevious]

Seems a bit unfair that Chad has to go to work so quickly after surgery in order to earn a living Others on the show don't have a care about anything like that and are living on the taxpayer dime.

[Armchair Critic]

Watching the commercial..I am starting to get hard hearted about some of the viral sob stories that get people attention or money. Seems like today mother's want somebody to pick on their kid so they can post about it on Facebook and get sympathy from the masses. MEOW!

[Hero]

I feel like most of the couples that are on this show seem so unhappy even after the weight is lost.
