Just like the shower scene, it seems to be required. 

[nlkm9]

if she failed at the balloon I doubt this will help.

Has the fat collected in her throat?  Or maybe just a speech impediment.  So she's breaking the news to her family that she's seeing Dr Now...dad pretending to act surprised.  And yet the cameras are there.  

I think some of her lisp is because of her wonky teeth.

Here it is! A bag full of hugs!

ETA: Oh damn! I thought she was going into an Arby's but it's just Dr Now's office.

[hoosiermom]

SNACKS! She brought SNACKS!

[poeticlicensed]

Who said she would eat fast food in the car? Nailed it!

Sorry, I’m behind...but what’s up with this chic’s chicklets???

Dentists and hygienists are afraid to get too close. Especially if they have mint-flavored floss in heir hands.

Hahahahahahahaha. Good one!

[Snarkastikate]

Dad looks kinda fed up with dealing with her, period.  They've been down this road before with the balloon procedure, etc.  I guess that kinda tamps down their enthusiasm.  Sis probably did an eye roll.

I don't think they have specifically said but if she is like most of the people featured on this show, she drinks gallons of soda which is hell on your teeth, not to mention all the sugar in her diet. And she may not have had regular (or any) dental care if her family couldn't afford it.

If I were headed to see Dr. Now, I'd suck down one last feast too so I can't criticize here. Unfortunately this probably isn't her last feast unless her story departs from the usual template...

Ah. I see. This poor girl is just twice as tragic.

I put this together for us but it needs to be in Bingo card format.

• I'm willing to do anything it takes
• I'm nervous about this trip. I'm leaving everything I know
• I can't do this
• Dr Now doesn't understand
• This is too hard/too much
• It's not fair
• Food is the only thing that calms me down/makes me happy
• I have to enjoy what I'm eating
• I don't think I should eat so few calories
• The hospital portions are too small
• The controlled diet is excessive
• I can do it my way
• It's not going to happen overnight
• I think I'm making good progress

Unless dentists make house calls, I don’t see her fitting in the dentist chair

I can eat.....four wings maybe?

Did she say...(gawd!) 24 wings? Four and twenty wings???

[Snarkastikate]

Hope this episode is interesting.  Last week's show looked promising, but strangely ended up another borefest.  Dr Now pretty much did a driveby.....gave the woman skin removal before losing any weight, surprisingly.  He usually dangles it like a carrot.  And he didn't give her a hard time when she gained.  

[Elizzikra]

633.2? I was guessing higher. Maybe she is short?

[IOU Payne]

She probably shaved a few pounds off by holding on to the bars on the scale.  And how can she get her life back when she doesn't seem to have much of a life in the first place??

[emma1420]

She says she’s embarrassed, but her expression says smug.

[Snarkastikate]

Your list should include "I have to get my life back"

[Lizz]

If she doesn’t eat she gets heartburn?

[Aw my lahgs]

PoundSsss.. Dr Now said poundS! 

I wonder if he reads here.

The weigh-in nurse is a hoot! She has seen it all a thousand times before - I swear I saw an eye roll.

Probably because Liz had the deadest eyes I've ever seen on this show.  She truly looked dead inside no matter how much weight she lost.

This is almost as good as Janine saying she had trouble getting on the airplane because she didn't eat enough.

[forensicfiles]

Her lateral lisp is intense.

[QuinnInND]

No rice, no beans, no tortillas. Yeah. And no pizzas and no brownies. 

[poeticlicensed]

Not a chance she loses 40 pounds 

She is already planning to cheat before she leaves the office

You had it right the first time. She looks 48

You're used to being able to eat whatever whenever. No shit.

Yes!!  I was thinking this exactly when watching the replay tonight.  Her eyes were dead and empty.  She was like a shell of a person, no real personality or emotion.

[Hero]

Her parents look so sad.

I don't know - I always thought they seemed pretty compassionate. I think it's maybe better for them to not react at all at the stuff they see than to display an honest (and likely shocked) reaction.

I can't believe how much she can eat AND she still has a balloon in her stomach. I heard her when she said she had that procedure but hadn't thought about the fact that it never came out. Good lord - how can her stomach stretch that much???
