"Can I have a hug?" GET UP AND GO TO HIM. Jesus, what a metaphor for the whole relationship

If they ever do get intimate she probably lays there like a dead fish and he does all the work

Were those shadows under her boobs or sweat?

What was so terrible about her childhood at home? It seems like her parents doted on her and still do. Did I miss something?

 Her home life was awful!! Just Awful!

If you believe that, then you believe she eats cereal and toast with sugar free jam and nothing more until lunch 4 hours later  😝

1300 steps for an entire day is a fail.

It’s the same number as her calorie allotment (basically). So she figures it has to be good.

[Snarkastikate]

I'm honestly shocked that she lost almost 50 lbs.  I hate to admit it, but I dislike Holly so much that I kinda wish she'd fail and not get rewarded with weight loss surgery.   That's not nice of me I know.

[Splashes]

What is jazz that people keep talking about?

[MsVixen]

Wouldn't popping her staples be painful and need some repairing immediately?

Come. You and I can eat sour sweet tarts together in hell.

[mysticalflute]

You know, I look at Holly, and then I look at my friend who got the gastric sleeve put in last year and has dropped almost 100 pounds. My friend is single, turned to chocolate for comfort, and had trauma in her life.

And yet... she manages to succeed after her surgery.

Same here.  I see her heading out for fast food within a year of surgery, just don't see her as a long term success.

[Kid]

She is bubbering again.

Could be worse there Holly...he could bust your stitches after surgery and give you an infection 

That’s got to be in “the top 10 most disturbing things ever seen on this show” list. (((Shudder)))

It's up from the 17 a day at which she started.

Well, even Penny got surgery. So Holly still has a role model for failure.

Pants on fire, Holly. The only thing you want is biscuits, gravy and Chinese takeout.

I am even worse.  I am actually waiting for her to get surgery and then set a new record for regaining it all back as quickly as possible!

Jazz is a transgender teenager who has a show on TLC called "I Am Jazz". She's fine, a normal teenager.

Her mother is... something else.

It bugs me when people say "I don't know how I feel.".  She's said it 3 times ( that I've noticed) so far.  

Holly, please take a moment, check in with yourself, and get back to us on how you feel.  Okay?

It was sweat. 

And there is no way I see this surgery as being anything but a temporary measure for her to lose weight. She's gonna gain it all back. AGAIN.

Jazz Jennings. From the show "I Am Jazz". She's a transgender teen with a drama llama of a mom.

Another TLC show about a transitioning male to female teenager. She has some attitude issues.

[MsVixen]

Jazz is the young girl in one of the ads.  She has a show on TLC where she is going through the transgender process.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Ahh, so he is doing the full bypass. She definitely needs the severe restriction.

I would love some orange chicken right now. Not on my food list though. I'm avoiding fried foods.

That is the number one most disturbing, imho.  I haven't gotten over it.  That guy.

[aliya]

I was hoping he'd give her the balloon. I'd like to see her deal with that for 6 months.

I thought she said 13000 and was impressed. 1300 is nothing. 

[Suzywriter]

I love how it looks like they are basting barbecue sauce onto the poundticipant in the OR.

[Hellga]

Wow, hernia is not a good thing.  Is this the first time on the show where Dr. Now is unable to complete the surgery?

I like her. Her mom is ugh.... another thing

[OoogleEyes]

I kind of figured this would be the case, considering there's only 20 minutes left in the show

My friend bought a house that hasn't been updated since 1970s and while she updated the upstairs, basement still has rainbow shag carpet!)

My friend and her family were out of their house for a year because they had to have it raised (hurricane Sandy aftermath), and they stayed a house that belonged to a friend of her mom's. The place was straight out of an early '70s time machine. We were born in '75 and I am 100% positive the stove and oven are older than we are. And yes, there was shag carpet in the family room. (And wall-to-wall carpet in the bathroom. I can't even.) 

[Caoimhe]

I'm a terrible person being happy she can't have the weight loss surgery with the hernia.   Will she know how she feels about that when she wakes up?

[Snarkastikate]

Dr Now:. "this is a disaster".   

[Azubah]

Dr. Pimple Popper needs to wear gloves when she's poking around on her patients' skin, and she needs to wear eye protection when she's popping cysts. And she needs to not be on my TV screen.

[DC Gal in VA]

Oh no, she has a hernia wrapped around her intestines!? Yeeouch, that sounds painful; actually sorry for her having that complication. Sounds like that would be be very painful but I never heard her complain about abdominal pain.

[poeticlicensed]

There is no way she is going to succeed unless she can get over her love affair with food,

She doesn't need a moment.  What she feels is "hungry"!

Aaannnnddd, maybe not. Hernia repair is pretty involved, no? I wonder if he can’t to the bypass, if she’ll ever go back under again.

She doesn't know how she feels ever.  She is just too busy to think about it.

No surgery? I don’t feel bad for her. Whiny lazy ass leech. And her weird ass fiancé 😆🤮

Because she has to walk all the way from the parkinglot. Its nearly a marathon! Though in fairness if its summer time in Texas its easy to get sweaty quickly.

 Well you know, one day last week she walked 1300 steps. 

😱😱😱

[CrazyInAlabama]

If she ignores the rules of living with full gastric bypass, then she's going to have all kinds of nutritional, and physical issues.     Dumping syndrome will be in her future.     

There is zero way this woman will be a long term success story.     I bet she's one that finds a way to eat through the surgery, and defeat the bypass.     

[dreadfulLeigh]

I’m going to walk from my living to the kitchen...

My neighbor is morbidly obese. I ran into her husband at the store and he was buying biscuits, sausage, and sausage biscuits.

I think it depends on the hernia. My mother-in-law had hers fixed pretty easily. But Dr. Now is making this sound dramatic.

[mysticalflute]

Did that commercial break seem unusually long or was it just me?

63 steps, with a bathroom detour. 1300 steps in an entire day?? Girl, please.
