Karina's Parents: "We're really excited for you"

I've seen people pull out ingrown hairs with more excitment

[88Keys]

What was that gross thing he pulled out of her?  Part of her stomach?

[AbbyLee]

She only has 10% of her stomach left. Or, in Karina's terms, 1 medium pizza, a 14 piece wing and a medium cookie.

[Snarkastikate]

Gotta get that life back!   Surgery scene....lots of yellow fat in there.  Disappointed he didn't get her up walking before agreeing to do her surgery.   He's super pessimistic on her outcome.  Interesting.

"I am obese because my parents worked hard." 

So I'm fat because my dad was a workaholic??? WOW!!! Who would've guessed?!?! So my lack of exercise and skipping meals and eating crap when I did eat isn't to blame at all. Cool. Maybe that's what's wrong with Twitney of MBFFL infamy. GLenn just needs to kick back and be lazy.

I believe so. I can't believe the size of the stomachs he removed. Like the size of footballs.

Ah, there's your excuse - they are pushing you to change, get up, and get a job. You're like a 14 yr old - your parents tell you to do something and you dig in and say 'no.' You'll show them. Jeez - and people wondered why the sister was a bitch. I think we're seeing why.

[Kid]

God, shut her up!!!  She is still in the chair and if they keep picking on her she’s just going to start eating.  Yeah, that will show them.

[Snarkastikate]

Get the eff up and walking sweetie!  Get a job?  Surely you jest!!!  I can see it coming...she says she's gonna fail and it's all the family's fault.

“I’m still stuck in this chair.”

Becasue you’re choosing to stay in that chair!!!!!  Put your fucking reaching/grabbing stick down and just take some steps.  Set a fucking reasonable goal per day so that.  Then increase it for the next day.  God damn.  It’s not that fucking hard.

Ding ding ding!  This, exactly.  

[Lizz]

Her stress?  No job, no kids, lives with passive parents.....

Spoiler

 

[Ellie Godfrey]

She's making defeatist noises: I didn't expect it to be so hard. I'm afraid the stress will be too much and I will give in to temptation,

She's justifying failure in advance.

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

Sorry for all the f-words.  I guess I still have fucks to give.

She acted like someone was forcing her to stay in the chair. Y’know, anyone but herself. 

[AbbyLee]

Wow... Belsomra sounds like a trip.

She doesn't look any smaller 

[MrsClaus]

This show just seems so long............

[Ginger]

I am new to this site, but I was yelling at the television so thought I would join and share!  I am two minutes into this episode and already she is blaming everyone but herself. After fast forwarding through the requisite shower scene, we are now subjected to the excuses. I had asthma as a child! My dad was in the military! My parents worked hard! When I was sick, I got a lot of attention! Is she serious?

[88Keys]

She looks bigger.  I'll bet she's gained at least 50 pounds.

Aaaand....she proves me wrong!  Again!  

[poeticlicensed]

Oops

  Reveal hidden contents

 

But still can't get past daddy worked and was gone a lot, and mommy worked two jobs and boo hoo.

[dreadfulLeigh]

So, she lost a whopping 7lbs after wls? Okeydokie. 

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

Heaven forbid you even try to walk into the doctors office...

she only lost 7lbs. Let me put on my shocked face. (Refer to flat line face picture in previous posts.)

[AbbyLee]

Well... she was sitting up in the back of the van... thats something... right?

[Schippmom]

Here come the excuses

[Kid]

Why do they bother lying to him?

[88Keys]

Lots of commercials for weight loss products tonight.  Is it a sign that I've been watching this show too long when I think "those people aren't THAT big?"

She is super serious.

[hoosiermom]

she seems like she is trying not to laugh. Weird.

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

She doesn’t need therapy, the last thing this woman needs is more attention.  

[ThisGirlAsh]

Her constant smirking is creeping me tf out

[poeticlicensed]

I want to steal her wheelchair 

[AbbyLee]

See... I couldn't lose weight after surgery... because I was under the weather...

 

... and also couch chocolate is my weakness.

Dead. 

This. So, so, so much this.

[Miracle Maxie]

Are we ever going to get a mobile person this season? I liked when they’d go to a gym and work with a trainer, but nobody this season seems to be capable of enough movement for that.

I wonder if her wonky teeth just make it look like a smirk sometimes.

"It keeps hugging me."

She’s just really unlikeable. As in, I’d kinda like to punch her in the face a little.

[Guest]

"My sister was too popular and my parents worked too hard. The food kept hugging me. I have asthma." 

[Armchair Critic]

I am late to the party, but once again this patient needed therapy long before this...

[Ellie Godfrey]

They need to send her to a therapist in a 3-story walk-up.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Her parents are so checked out. So sorry no one believes in you. I don’t know, maybe find the strength in YOURSELF?? 

Her parents just shuffle her around like a game of pong, with all the animation of a two dimensional bar.

Let's get her together with the one who wouldn't get out of her scooter and when they're not looking, throw their wheels over a cliff when they're not looking. (I think it was Janine)
