She smells like she's "given up on her hygiene"? Ohhh God.

🤮

[Pepper Mostly]

It is creepy how much she sounds like a child. "I proooooomise"

"I'm going to prove you wrong and make you proud, you'll see!" Honey. You're not doing Dr. Now a favor. Get over yourself. 

Oh noes! She's "forced" to go on a diet while in the hospital. Guys. Is she spectacularly obtuse or just dumb? Discuss.

"Play Time Ovuh!"  in that freaking little voice.....

That is what her mother told her when she got pregnant at 13.  That is what she says now when she's cornered. I feel a little sorry for her right now.

Aw, I'm sorry! I was reaching for a Lola joke, I didn't mean it as judgement or anything. ❤️

Yee. But sometimes its fun to just completely ruin a joke by taking it seriously. Though admittedly thats probably not the best joke to tale seriously. Though I did actually write a letter to my mother basically just ranting and getting my feelings out (not one she should ever see) and it did make me feel better.

One good thing that in terms of results of trauma stuff I just disappear for a bit compared to other possibilites like heavy drug using or like the poundticerpants.

[Concerned]

Did he say 689?

[umgoblue]

"Forced on a diet"...not a good indicator of success...40minutes left and no surgery yet.

[Kid]

That 110 pound loss will be gone as soon as she gets home!

[DropTheSoap]

Just now, Concerned said:

Yes.

I guessed 682.

She did not look good when she returned to Houston.

[Hellga]

So she ate herself up to 689 and now she is down to 579.

And she is "resistant" to standing up.  Of course she is.  THen she will be expected to take care of herself instead of demanding everyone else to take care of her!

[Frabbergasted]

Her (Not So)Minnie Mouse voice is annoying the heck out of me.

[Kid]

He is sending her to Lola! Can you imagine those two voices together?

I don’t understand how reclining like a fat slug in a medical transport is harder on the knees than reclining like a fat slug in a bed!?!

Ow, my knees!
 

[umgoblue]

110!!  Holy smokes!  In one munt!

Deadpans...I can't see it.

It's 9:20 p.m. No weight loss surgery coming.

I'm guessing by the end of this episode, she'll have gained another 30 pounds.

[fonfereksglen]

So suddenly she lost over a 100 lbs in 2 minutes.  Wow. 

[gardendiva]

I bet the medical staff at St. Joseph is irritated at Dr. Now and how his show is bringing all these high maintenance patients into the hospital that they have to deal with. 

[Deevee45]

I always wonder what they think will happen with weight loss surgery... do they think they can magically eat all they want and poop it out? The truth is a lot of people have horrible issues after the surgery—the thing that is their reason for living has been taken away.

Gah, I keep waiting for her to start talking about the birth of Melanie Wilkes' baby.

Please let her say that she dont know nothing about birthin babies. Please!

[DC Gal in VA]

110 pounds lost in one "munt"? Is that a new record? Of course it was in the hospital and not on her own..........

Pepper, I commented earlier that she might just be dumb enough to follow his instructions without over-thinking. But she's apparently not THAT dumb.

[umgoblue]

Dr. Now ruined the surprise by outing Lola as the therapist.  What about the script, Dr. Now?  There was supposed to be a pregnant pause, the the great reveal...

Perhaps I shoudn't have said pregnant...we still don't know if she is with child!! 😂

I realize I was recently close to Dr. Now's when I was on a business trip. I should have strolled by during my evening walk.

Do people really buy a car without seeing it and test driving it? I would never buy one like that.

Last summer I bought a slightly better version of the same make/model of car I've been driving since 2002 (this is my fourth) and I still test-drove it.

Did Dr. Now just say Lola ..An all baby voiced voice therapy session..get that pen and paper ready LaShanta. daddy issues...

Actually it lets me know the states to avoid like the plague

[cmpbl]

Maybe she can move in with Penny and they can both lay in bed and prepare food and whine about how he wants them to follow the diet.

[Azubah]

I don't know. She's an annoying idiot, but when you get pregnant at 13 and your mother tells you to drop out of 9th grade and get a job, that's pretty harsh. I feel sorry for her.

[nokat]

I'm going to come back and show you how wrong you were.

I’m sure they appreciate the dollar dollar bills.

Yes, for the hospital administration this is good, but the staff who have to haul and bathe and deal with unwieldy immobile patients it can’t be much fun.

I doubt it.  A patient is a patient is a patient.  And I can think of a few types who are far more annoying.

You know the producers are rubbing their hands with glee over the prospect of LaShanta and Lola together.  A reality TV dream come true.

I kinda hoped mama would go with her.

I did, too, but I guess if mama didn't go on the first initial visit there was no way she would move to Houston with her.  Mama seems to have given up on her. 

This woman continues to act like a 10 year old trying to talk her way out of trouble.  (Apologies to many 10 year olds who are more mature acting than Lashanta or however the hell she spells it.)  Her excuses are stressing me so I must emotionally eat a few grapes.

I hate the Haribo gold bear ad.  Hate, hate, hate.

I can't see her sticking to any diet on her own.  Hope I am wrong, but I really doubt it.

Not only the psychological issues, but the years of skin surgery, unforeseeable outcomes, pain... We've seen really big people on TV for a number of years now - how do obesees not think that the surgery is just the start and that there is a very, very long road in front of them. Even people who lose 200 lbs have skin issues.

[MrsRopersCaftan]

I’m perplexed by the wearing of the gloves for random activities.

Lola is making a house call. 

[Grammy]

Lola!
