 I would sleep through the whole starving month.

I bet I could binge watch Sean Bean on Netflix for 30 days, eat a pint of Halo Top 3x a day (nothing else) and still lose weight.   Wait... I have a lot of vacation time....

I'm doing 1200-1400 calories a day.  Sarah's doing 1200 and eating carrot sticks.  As I mentioned earlier, I had a big mess o'zucchini zoodles with peppers & sauce. I had a big salad for lunch and eggs & veg sausage for breakfast. Not a carrot in sight, nor do I feel deprived. None of these people learn about low calorie, nutrient dense, volumetric food. They complain about suffering because they are suffering. Who wants to, or feels they can, eat like that the rest of their lives?  As I get older, I know I don't need a ton of calories, but that doesn't mean I can't have interesting, tasty, filling food.

That's not totally true.  They often show episodes with nutritionists working (or trying to work) with the patients.  Plus, I assume most of these people are not "foodies" since their typical meals consist of fast food, frozen dinners and highly processed food.  If Sarah needs to eat carrots and hummus to stay within her calories and is able to do so, then props to her.

Oh just stop with the fake “will she or won’t she get the surgery drama.” Bitch is sitting there in full surgical garb with an IV.

Bad editing.

 I can't even do mushroom soup and green beans at Thanksgiving, God Save the Queen.?

My mom used to make baked chicken with cream of mushroom soup which was then turned into a gravy. It's the only way I ever would have eaten anything mushroom as a kid (or now, for that matter). I liked the gravy but the bits of mushroom were always pushed to the edge of my plate.

Oh God. Green bean casserole is the devils work. My first encounter with it was my first Thanksgiving dinner with my in laws. Yuck.

Why get her all settled into the bed with the hair covered and all if they haven't even checked her weight yet?

Once again another example of continuity problems......

[junip]

Green bean casserole is better with cream of chicken instead of mushroom.

They just never seem happy about the 'healthy' food. Sarah wasn't happy with her choice. That's what I was getting at. If people aren't happy, they aren't going to stick with it. There's more to this than just dieting down to get the surgery. I was on a bariatric FB page for almost a year (decided against the surgery). Long term, people who do not find a way to enjoy what they can eat, eat what made them happy, and regain the weight. I saw it all of the time.

Grandma!  She's awesome!

Who on earth green lighted the Chappaquidick movie? What’s the point?

Right?  Why is that even a thing?  Is it because most of the Kennedys are dead now?  Even if it shows that he was negligent in killing her, he's dead, she's dead, most of her family is probably dead.  I think most of us suspect that he did it.

Dr. Now is gonna find a tater tot lodged under her spleen.

Or in one of her skin folds

[Guest]

Oh, look, here's Heather who still looks like she'd rather be burning in a volcano than be with these people.

[rlc]

She’s going to need some major skin removal if she actually loses the weight.

[Kvv9862]

Damn this episode is boring. Absolutely nothing has happened. When “tater tot casserole” is the hot topic on this board you know the story sucked.

It takes time to to adjust to the taste of real food when all you've eaten for years is fast food and processed garbage.  Also, like you said, they enjoy their junk and get all their comfort in life from it.  Some of them don't really want to give that up.

[WillowG]

 Sister ...because anorexia is better than binge eating.

[hoosiermom]

oh Lordy. Now she sounds like she is going to die?

[DC Gal in VA]

I call TLC manufactured bullshit! No way way are they gonna prep you and THEN weigh you to see if you qualify for surgery.

Ahhh one last piece of melodrama from her by saying she's afraid she's not going to make it to her sister and grandmother.

Oh snap, sis has shown back up for the surgery.  

Someone get this girl a Xanax.......

I absolutely agree.  It's all about a mindset shift and not looking at the diet as some sort of punishment or short-term situation.

When they don’t get surgery until 9:52 it’s inevitably boring.

Seven minutes left and she just had surgery.

Can you blame her?

[zoemom]

Doesn't look like mom "got with the program" at all.

Why do they always have to explain the surgery.  Dr. Now says the same thing - shows the part of the stomach they remove.

At least she doesn't have any nasty lymphedema (or maggots for that matter)

[Leemah]

Skin Tight commercial “the lose skin is preventing me from being a good role model for my daughter” that is the stupidest comment I’ve ever heard!!

Not at all! If I were Heather, I'd have stayed home.

[Miracle Maxie]

Is it wrong that I’d rather have Duggar commercials than Little People ones? (I’d really rather have none of the above but that isn’t an option.)

Duggars, Little People, or Sister Wives? Decisions, decisions...

[QuinnInND]

I totally get the scared about the surgery part. I'm the same way. I hate being put out. I fall apart the same way Sarah did. I can't snark on her for that. 

 

And Dr Now was right. That was a huge stomach.

I’m terrified of “little people” I know it’s stupid but I am.

I'm with ya.  I'm so over the Little People (how much more can these two milk their story).  Hell, I'd rather see the Sister Wives instead of the Little People.
That man (his name escapes me) is insufferable.

Campbell’s makes cream of chicken AND mushroom.  All your trash food needs in one can.  Not that I would know...lol

Try Three Wives, One Husband. Great guilty pleasure 

[fonfereksglen]

Thug life tote.  LOL!

[Guest]

The first "new" thing I'd like to suggest to Sarah to try is bra shopping.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Alright, who called in the last 30 seconds of the show? Geez. 

[ams1001]

I'll take your word for that. ;)

[steff13]

Sarah and her mom both need bras!  Her mom's boobs are around her waist. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Did mom get fatter?

Now there's an idea for another TLC crossover show.  They could have a 600 lb, little person that is a polygamist.

[CouchTater]

She really is a pretty girl.  If she can get her weight and her hair under control, she'll be very attractive.

[WillowG]

Oh Whitney in the ocean I mean,  what show is this?

And Sarah looks like she has double shoulders due to the bra straps cutting into her arms.
