S06.E15: Bettie Jo & Susan LIVE CHAT

[Stusan]

Oh, goodie!  Obligatory shower bit - albeit only a snippet.

 

i'm okay with that. 

[3girlsforus]

I don’t think when the OBGYN told her not to be on Dr Now’s diet while pregnant he meant the option is a plate full of hot dogs and sugary applesauce

[spacefly]

The doctor didn't mean you had to eat hot dogs instead of a piece of grilled chicken. What don't these people get...eat healthy, eat the calories you need for the baby but make those calories nutritious.

[hoosiermom]

Was she pregnant on the original episode?

[DC Gal in VA]

Weird how different they all appear weight wise. Susan looked way bigger than 607 pounds to me.

[Smoothcoat]

I don’t remember Susan’s Story. 

[Miracle Maxie]

Betty Jo is going to annoy me too much to even watch. I hope Susan is better. 

[zoemom]

Susan.....her and her mother - two I want to slap shit silly at first, but am impressed that she's gotten away from her smothering.  She looks remarkably different.

Sounds like Susan needs a tune-up with the "terrapist".  Who will it be Dr. Babyvoice or Dr. Paradise?????

Don't screw this up Susan, you've come so far!

I am really not trying to be mean here when I say this, but does anyone else think that Bettie Jo might be mildly mentally disabled? Again, I'm not trying to put her down. I'm just trying to be realistic and understand what's going on with her. She seems very slow, and there's something about the way she speaks and says one word at a time... I don't know. She just seems slow and therefore easily manipulated by her husband.

I think it's because she has a tendency to carry her weight in her neck.

She was the one who went into psycho bitch mode when it took too long at the drive-through.

How's everyone's eating habit tonight? I've had Annie's chocolate bunnies. Sorry I can't be a better example.

I’m eating leftover pizza and not feeling an ounce of guilt. My eating habit are just fine tonight!

Interesting. I hope they show that in a flashback!

How can Josh get close with those butt wings?   Here we go again "I'm so scared" has already been said at least 7 times.....

How many times did she remind us she might be paralyzed by her pregnancy/spine thing?

A salad won't kill you. It really won't

Right? Eat healthy food and make sure you're getting enough calories. That's what your baby needs.

I remember her but I don't remember any details of her story.

[Miracle Maxie]

I’m not convinced that anyone involved is mentally competent. Including me, for watching this. 

[BuddhaBelly]

Netflix, has a documentary called Obese Port Mortem and it was fascinating. I didn't think I would be able to handle that but the way fat changes the inside of your body!

So sad this is the last episode this year. Do we do live chatting on new where are they now episodes?

Hey there hoosiermom! Yes, that's my understanding.

[BuddhaBelly]

Her neck is going to haunt me.

[3girlsforus]

We are taking stuff out of the old home and putting it in the new home..... uh that’s called MOVING!!

I agree about her, but I don’t see him being quite clever enough to be a master manipulator ;)

I'm with ya, sister. 

[Arynm]

Susan has beautiful blue eyes! Get rid of the chicken neck and we might have a looker here

[Guest]

Susan looks good! And her house is really nice! 

Anxiously awaiting my disappointment about both of these good outcomes. 

[TwirlyGirly]

Even my kitty can't believe what he's seeing (he likes getting comfy to watch TV):

Hahahaha....this cracked me up

[CoachWristletJen]

So now for Bettie Jo, it's my 400 Pound Life. That's still not a healthy weight to carry a baby. It's not at all surprising that she's having complications. I hope everything works out for her, though!

Pregnancy at 400 pounds is just high risk, but Bettie Jo seems the type who just sort of lets her life happen to her.

I was gonna post the exact same thing!

[Stusan]

Too heavy to find the heartbeat with Doppler?

[PeaceLily2]

Did she say it had been days since she felt the baby move?

I was reading a comment thread elsewhere about the dreck that TLC puts on (it was really about the Duggars and the Willis Family, on a blog post about the latter family)...I refrained from mentioning that I watch this show...(and Trading Spaces but that's not so bad, relatively speaking).

Added to my Netflix list...whenever I get around to setting up my account. My brother gave me gift cards for Christmas that should cover a year, I think.

For those who've forgotten what Susan used to look like:

Hey aliya. Well I'll see your chocolate bunnies and raise you the homemade friiiiiiied chicken and mac and cheese--no blue box mac and cheese for me--after this show!

I'm honestly surprised that she got pregnant at that weight!

Did she put that new tupperware away without washing it first? Just no!

I thought she said several hours. I won’t snark her on this one thing. It happened to me. At 8 1/2 months I couldn’t feel my daughter move for almost 12 hours. I ended up with an emergency sonogram. I was pregnant after a miscarriage. It scared the crap out of me.

Yes, watching this show is my dirty little secret!!!!!!

[Smoothcoat]

I don’t really care that much about her pregnancy, why’d they have to pick HER to update? I’d like to see Sean. Or the twins Brandi and Kandi. 

[Miracle Maxie]

My eating habit was a salad with romaine lettuce they swore didn’t come from Arizona (or wherever the outbreak was located) and way too many Chuckles candies. It’s been a bad day and of course I’m an emotional eater.

I’m agreeing with you, that’s why I asked if it was days.

I wasn't totally paying attention but I thought I heard that in the promo...

I wonder if BC works the same way in someone that heavy. I know hormonal BC can be iffy but what about something like an IUD? Inquiring minds...

I've done that, but I'll wash it before I actually use it. 

[CircusPeanuts]

Hi pounders—I’m fashionably late to the live chat party. Tonight’s dinner is healthy choice pesto chicken and vegetables, washed down with a cold Blue Moon.

James K. Nicole. Kristen. It’s my own private shame I know all these names.

[Guest]

ATTENTION! Bettie Jo is "scared." 

Just wanted to make sure everyone knew.
