He's probably never had to wear them.

I have to admit the best part of my day is getting into my pjs; no bra, no panties, no constriction, just freedom!

[Pepper Mostly]

Holy shit he's gained almost 300 pounds. 

[hoosiermom]

How can you even eat enough to gain that much?

[DC Gal in VA]

Wait, what the Hell, gained 278 pounds!? In two months!? Really!

I also didn't remember this.

No wonder he died.

[Concerned]

He’s totally given up.

[ELFairy]

How do you gain almost 300 lbs in under 2 months?  He doesn’t want to try.

I agree, I don't think Sean is intellectually unable to take care of himself. It seems like it's metal health issues that he's not really dealing with.

I agree as well. It's that type of intensive psychiatric care that Sean needed and did not receive. Dr. Now should have realized by this point that his program wasn't working for Sean, couldn't work for him, and requested a psych eval when Sean was in the hospital. If he had received treatment in a psychiatric facility, that could have been the one thing that might have saved him.

You and me both, Pepper Mostly.  I dream of the day that I can retire, even though it’s probably 20 years away. I want to be the master of my own time. Yoga pants every day. Garden when I want regardless of the weather. And no yearly self evaluations! 🤮

I am counting down the weeks (retiring July 31). My son says I should just play solitaire and eat popcorn at work all day until then. 

I'm at a university and can be casual, but no jeans (I don't even have a pair) except on Friday. I just try to be one step above the students.

[suev33 3]

Omg.....this is a trainwreck....he clearly has a death wish

[Caoimhe]

In six weeks that is a gain of 46 pounds a week.  I can’t imagine the quantity of food that would take.

[Snarkastikate]

NO NO NO, how is gaining 300 lbs in 2 months even humanly possible?  HOW?????

Alone, bored, naked and eating sausages.  Can't he even put on a fucking sheet when the paramedics come over at least?  Jesus Christ Almighty.

And now sausages are added to the list of gateway foods... grapes, oranges and sausages.  Christ!! how many sausages did he eat!!!!! 277 lbs in 6 weeks!!! He had to eat 24 hrs a day!!

[MsVixen]

What was that about about an App?

On The Kitchen Saturday they made a yogurt based dip with feta, mint, etc., and used it as a dip for watermelon sticks.  Looked good!

Sounds good.   I sometimes just enjoy mixing cantaloupe and watermelon together in one dish for dessert.    Between this and the candy discussion, I need to go brush my teeth so I don't go foraging in the kitchen and mess up my eating habit.

Yes retirement is the best! It's like being a teenager with enough money, and your parents never come home!

Dr. Now he doesn't care anymore. He has no reason to live!

Gained 278 lbs????? Inconceivable!

"I don't think that word means what you think it means." heh

[PrincessPurrsALot]

There was a wet spot on Sean's bed.  A. Wet. Spot.  Why did I eat? 

[String Theory]

He needed to go to a psychiatric hospital.  He might have had a chance.  Surprised Dr. Now/Paradise didn't suggest this.

[Wanda]

This has been an excruciating 2 hours 😢

Oh my goodness. I was writing and didn't hear the weight clearly. I thought he had gained, but not that much. Dang, that is a lot of food. A whole lotta food.

But what kind of issues?

Mostly cardiovascular. Obesity alone puts stress on the heart muscle. When weight goes up and down drastically like Sean, the heart gets confused. This can affect stroke volume, pre-load, afterload, blood pressure, and overall cardiac output. If the cardiac output and perfusion to the kidneys is affected, the renal system can also be damaged and enter compensatory mechanisms like fluid volume retention and electrolyte imbalances. There’s a myriad of other illnesses he is at risk for but those are just some of the things his body is experiencing. Your pathophysiology lesson for today is complete 🙂.

He's eating himself to death.........

He’s been getting his food delivered and using an app to order it. 

[Guest]

I really, like really need to know how someone gains 300 pounds in two months. That's just inconceivable to me. Was he ordering, like, whole cows to be delivered every day? 

[buffo]

That look on his face when Dr. says "you're not going to live long" I'm thinking he planned this as a suicide ? 

[7EasyPayments]

Even when I'm not being 'good', I only drink diet soda because I like it.

Weird, eh?

It’s possible he was too far gone, weight wise, for psychiatric hospitals. They may not have been able to accept him

What psychiatric hospital would have been able to care for him? He's so big and bedridden, it seems impossible that they'd have the facilities available.

You’ve heard of suicide by cop? This is suicide by pepperoni

[Azubah]

Dr. Now, you cannot badger someone out of being suicidal. Just stop.

He seems to not know what to order.

[Caoimhe]

Love Dr Now saying he’s just refusing to give up his comfort food.  On behalf of the female population I’m not sure he would ever have managed to “find a girl”.

[String Theory]

BINGO......stop feeling sorry for himself!

Dr. Now really showed a great deal of compassion to this POS.  I give him a lot of credit for putting up with him.

[Julyolo]

This is the literal whipping of a dead horse.

The thing is there's not a facility in the US that could deal with all of his complex issues.  The amount of specialists he'd require aren't contained in one facility.  I know a mental ward would be utterly helpless to deal with any of his physical issues.

Possibly did. I'm sure we don't see/hear the entire session, just the highlights

[CrazyInAlabama]

For Dr. Now's program to work, or a psychiatric facility to treat him successfully, the patient has to want to get better.   Sadly, Sean doesn't want to get better.   

[Wanda]

TLC didn’t air this to honor Sean. They aired it to say, “it’s not our fault he’s dead” and there were no family members to complain

Hey neighbor! I'm in the Sacramento area too *waving* Didn't know Sean was from Cameron Park, or Pauline either. 

Hi neighbor!  Yep, I tried to figure out the exact area where Pauline lived but there wasn't enough footage of their apartment.🙋‍♀️

[Dianaofthehunt]

Dr. Now, save your harangue.  You are having no effect whatsoever.

Sausages are amazingly calorific - they make bacon seem slimming. 🥓

Same here. Regular coke is just too syrupy for me after drinking diet for 1000 years. Vanilla Coke Zero is the bomb. Especially with a splash of bourbon 😁

That's a rocky road to go down in a free society.  If this was the case all drug addicts and alcoholics could be committed also.   There was a day when it was pretty easy for a husband to stick a wife in a mental hospital if she was giving him sass or whatever.  I think there were many resources devoted to trying to save Sean but it doesn't always work.

I’m tired of this fucking life, he says.

I get it.  Regular soda is too sweet.

R.I.P.     .....i lost it when he said he wanted to find a girl😔😢

[ELFairy]

Dr. Now is a saint.  How does he deal with these people?
