James didn't lose much. I'm shocked said nobody here......

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh James. You were fooled by that slimming new mattress. 

[aliya]

18 lbs in a  month? Several months?  The guy is a whale. He should have lost 80 lbs, easy.

[ShortyMac]

Okay. I was completely wrong. lol

[Wanda]

18 lb loss. But dr Now is happy he lost lol.

What’s with Bettie Jo and now Cynthia thinking they might get skin surgeries when they weigh over 400 lbs? Methinks this phrase does not mean what they think it means.

ITA Wanda. I think that Cynthia, and many others in this show have a very skewed/delusional idea of what a healthy weight is. Didn't she say that she wasn't trying to be thin, just wanted to be able to do more? She probably thinks that 350-400 pounds is just fine.

[cmpbl]

18lbs way to make a fool of yourself James.

Well that was more information than I needed. 

but isn't that the point of the show? to teach you stuff you probably would never have learned on your own, even if it makes you cringe and heave?  heh

Wow, he lost two whole paramedics! 

Well, two paramedics would definitely be well over 200 pounds he needed to lose! 

[Miss Chevious]

He’s still eating 7000 calories a day! Ow, mah tummy!

I am leaving on vacation early tomorrow and haven’t even begun to pack, and this is what I’m doing. 

You people are my TV habit

Time well spent!

I actually got my checkbook balanced early so I can spend tonight knitting, drinking, and hate-watching.  

[Guest]

I guess the mattress James had in his new apartment in Houston was much more slimming than the old one since Dr Now seemed to have been fooled into thinking he had lost a decent amount of weight.

[Pepper Mostly]

They never stopped the old habits!! Come on Dr. Now! Wake up and smell the coffee!

[Armchair Critic]

James is on probation. I want to say don't waste your time on a lost cause, but I can understand that Dr. Now doesn't want to just let James die.

[3girlsforus]

So he claims to think he’s eating 1200 calories when he’s really eating 7000?!?!?  

[zoemom]

I was 8 lbs. off!  Dr. Now has busted them again!!!

[Kid]

He doesn’t have a clue why he did not lose more.

[QuinnInND]

James has no clue why he didn't lose more weight. Here's a clue. YOU'RE STILL EATING TOO MUCH!!!! 

[Frabbergasted]

Wow. 18 lb. Weight loss.  He probably crapped that much in his bed this morning.  What a vile, gelatinous mass he is.

Cynthia looks like she's doing better, legitimately. Slowly improving.

I'm on partial paraenteral nutrition, after TPN for a few weeks. That sucked. This show really got me through it, haha. I'm going to have some barley soup soon- I've seen worse than James's legs, and that won't discourage me!

I've been on TPN a few times and heading in that direction again. I have only been diagnosed with gastroparesis since November but I also have had  Crohn's since 2015 so my already restricted diet is even more restrictive. Low fiber/low fat so when I can eat it's mostly white carbs. Hoping that you will reach remission and some relief from your suffering.

First thing James has said I agree with "I don't have a clue"

[honeywest]

“Not much more I can do to change things, ‘cause I’m doing everything right.”

[meat]

His voice cracking, as well, as the news that came out earlier this year about his health issues... I don't have a good feeling about this.

[Hellga]

But it was so much easier when they brought me out of the house!  Well, James, when you walk instead of being a piece of luggage, you might be able to evaluate "Easier".  It wasn't you doing the work! 

[Guest]

"I felt I lost a lot more weight." Who says that?! I guess when you don't wear clothes you can't tell if you're losing weight or not. 

And shut up with the, "I'm doing everything right." Clearly, you are NOT.

800, easy.

 

Crunch and Munch, anyone?

As much as I love that stuff, that’s gonna be a hard pass as long as there’s a chance of seeing those laygs on my screen or my tv at any moment. Thank you though. 

[simba barracuda]

AUGH! That glimpse of laig!

"There's nothing else I can change because I'm doing everything right."

You're still eating 7,000 calories/day!!!!!!!!

[Wanda]

Lisa doesn’t know what she’d do if there was something majorly wrong with James??! Oh honey, better sit down...

[Armchair Critic]

Are we going to have another patient die? EEK

as far as looking stupid goes, the guy had nowhere to go but up. :)  

[MsVixen]

Hi Pounders!  Sorry I'm late to the ball because I'm taking care of Mom.

However, I got in early enough to see James' legs.  WTF are those growths?

Well I. Am. Shocked.

Me too. I went by Dr. Now’s impression that he was doing better.

I wanted Dr. Now to be right

[zoemom]

"I know I'm not in good shape".  Understatement of the year James!

[Kid]

Eating 7000 cal a day, HOW can he be anemic???

[DC Gal in VA]

Tee hee, and there I was thinking that James and Lisa had FINALLY got the message.

James is being so sweet and cooperative but I'm waiting for that other shoe to drop and we get to see the real James.

[QuinnInND]

That endoscopy!! Holy Hannah.

Oh, sneaky editors, putting the weight in kilograms at first to throw us off!

I thought he broke the scale.  He definitely did not look 350 pounds.

[zoemom]

His body isn't getting all the oxygen that he needs....that explains it all, his brain isn't functioning!!!

6995 of those calories are fats and refined carbs.

Sorry to disappoint anyone but he’s still alive based on outside sources.

6800 calories in marshmallow bunnies and 2 fried eggs?

I'm just brainstorming here.

blister, ulcers, cellulitis, general infection. Death dealing stuff.

Lisa is still The Queen of the Enablers. She knows darn well how much food she’s bringing to his bedside.
