S07.E03: Robin's Story LIVE CHAT

[Guest]

Can someone please give that woman some cortisone or a handful of Oxycontins please?

[Ellie Godfrey]

They should run...to a dentist.

[poeticlicensed]

Robin is in pain, in case you didn't know.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Well, at least one person had the surgery before the end credits start. 

[3girlsforus]

Well at least she did it. That’s good. 

[Hellga]

least she lost the weight now.  Good for her, but I am going to hold off on cheering yet.  I want sustained effort from her!

[CrazyInAlabama]

Robin was the worst Resting B---- Face that I've seen in years.     Family certainly doesn't show much emotion about anything, do they?

It takes Robin losing 95 pounds to see emotion.   511 lbs.

[cmpbl]

Yay Robin!

C'mon now, who's first?

Well, hello, big boy.  It's awfully sunny out here.  Can I stand in the shade of your side boobs? 

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

Holy shit! She actually walked into the doctor’s office.

[poeticlicensed]

James is an enabler. He doesn't look as happy as he should 

[shouldbedancing]

Well 600 cals a day works! 

[Mswldflwr]

They always show them cheating and shoveling it all in.  Why didn't they not this time?  Clearly, she's a big fat cheater.

[DC Gal in VA]

Yay Robin, 87 pounds! You go girl. BTW, I really like Garrett and how loving and supportive of his aunt.

So, it took her 7 months to get to where Dr. Now wanted her to be for surgery? Hmm. 

[Miracle Maxie]

Are we actually going to have an episode without therapy? No Dr Paradise? No Lola???

A new guy in my church works at the local cheese factory (?). They make cheese curds by hand; he says it's very physical. 

[Guest]

Hey! Dr Now! Maybe you should have checked out that scar situation like...six months ago.

Oh jeez get Cody Brown off my tv!

I thought this was a joke.  They're BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!  Ugh~!

[3girlsforus]

SO help me if that jackass who beat her up and took her fertility keeps her from weight loss surgery I am going to hunt him down and remove his balls with rusty pliers. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

My guess is that James is a savior/caretaker junkie, and thinks she won't want him any more if she loses weight.  

3girlsforus-Sounds like a perfectly lovely idea.   A PTV My 600 lb poster road trip, with appropriate activities.    It sounds like fun.

So she is down to 600 calories a day?  Really?  Weird.  And is she still eating double what she is told to eat?

I'm assuming that was his theory.

That's because as skinny as he is, he has man boobs......

[Hellga]

Dr. Now isn't quite buying her progress either.  Let's see how she does in another two months.

Edited January 17, 2019 by Hellga

[dreadfulLeigh]

Is James even skinnier?

I agree.  I love tattoos.  Have two and am figuring out my third.  I have a large one that runs along my rib cage that actually helps me to keep my weight in check because I love showing it off in a bikini.  But that love extends only to good tattoos!  Their tattoos look like someone bought a tat gun off eBay and they let them practice.

Is it a dragon?  I saw a lady at the beach who had a dragon tattooed up her side.  I'm not a big fan of tattoos, but her's was kind of mesmerizing.  And she had a great body, too.

"I'm a little disappointed I have to wait two months for the surgery and I have to lose more weight."

Is she shitting me?

Probably.  She would still eat more than she should, but off lower base should not be doing quite as bad.  Looks like it worked...  Like some people, if you want them to get somewhere on time, you tell them even starts an hour earlier than it really does!

[Wanda]

What’s going on? The preview shows a smiling man saying it’s all his fault he weighs 600 lbs? TLC, are you bait and switching us?  Did you blow the wad last season with all the train wrecks and plain old awful people?

Last week, Brianne wanted to lose weight because she wanted to be the person/mother she wanted to be.  For this one, surgery seems to be the only goal, and she doesn't really have a reason to lose the weight other than "pain" and "scared".  No wonder she is not doing well... I hope she can find some real motivation in her life.

No dragon, although I did want one but my tattoo guy (who I totally trust) talked me out of it.  Both of mine are different flowers.  I have cherry blossoms on my ribs.  Getting stargazer Lilies Starting on my back, going down the ribs and ending on my front hip.

[aliya]

Lack of weight loss efforts aside, why is everyone dissing Robin because she says she's in pain?  She has bone on bone pain in her knees. Without her shot, I know my mother is practically crippled by her similar pain. Robin's legs looked awful and eventually ended up to be a big problem. She's 600 + lbs. I'm not sure I see why folks think she can do anything else but complain/cry/not walk.

I used to work with a girl who had the curves of a violin tattooed on her back. It was really cool. (Yes, she played. She also had pet iguanas named Mozart and Trent (as in Reznor, of Nine Inch Nails).)

You've met my mom's family?

[CrazyInAlabama]

Dear Whitney Fan-It's not "Big" it's hugely, morbidly obese, and you're going to kill yourself doing this!   

 

James is looking smaller, and sicker every time they show him.   He needs to see a doctor right now.

Preview of Casey from Family by the Ton suggests the next show will provide the snarking material this show didn't!  I will be moving straight to that thread from here.

I think it's primarily because she says it every other sentence.

That will be gorgeous!  Lilies are my favorite flower.

Curds are very hands on. And very squeaky when you eat fresh curds.  There are small cheese plants everywhere.   I live about 10 miles from several large  Belgioioso cheese factories.  Wisconsin cows produce great mozzarella cheese as well as a zillion other specialty cheeses.

If 9:51 isn’t the latest we’ve finally gotten around to surgery, it’s pretty close. 

[Roxie]

I think she mentioned needing to lose weight in order to get knee replacements.

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

And on a scale of 1-10, it’s 100!

[dreadfulLeigh]

Hmm, she lost 48 lbs in the 2 months before surgery. That’s good. But I do t feel particularly...enthusiastic about her odds after surgery. 

[cmpbl]

If I hear that big baby on Family by the ton blame his parents for his weight one more time, I'm going to punch him in the throat.

[Hellga]

She is down to 463, so even if it took her a long time, she did lose nearly 200 pounds before surgery.  Good for her.  I just don't think she will be successful long-term unless something changes in her overall outlook on life.  Hope therapy will help.

I always wonder if the participants have to sign waivers that guarantee no legal action in the case of injury or death. The woman has no training to be teaching dance.

And Dr. Now outlines the part 2 episode while performing surgery.....
