the way JT’s body is built, he looks like he’s 50% lipedema.
Second hour
Dr. Gnome says it looks like JT only lost 20-30 pounds in those two months he was home. Dr. Gnome gives JT the speech about how this could kill him, and they need to be aggressive getting the weight off so the lymphedema can be removed surgically. So I guess that means Jessica is on her own for a place to stay in the brand new city. They park JT in a private suite, but there's a chair and couch in there, so maybe Jessica can sleep there. (Ad with "Everybody Got Their Something" by Nikka Costa in the background. Love that song.)
"We" are trying to find a place to stay - meaning Jessica is. She doesn't want to stay in Houston with him and wants to go home. Dr. Gnome says it wouldn't be a good idea for JT to make the trip back to OK. He complains about the hospital food - duh, there aren't many people who like it, especially for restricted diets. Well, surprise, they're arguing about it all, and he's being a shit. Jessica leaves. Aha, the first whine about how none of this "is fair"! You know what isn't fair? Hardworking people taking care of you via your living on the dole because you ate your way to 900 pounds. His cousin shows up in Houston, and is going to stay to help JT out because Jessica left.
In two months on his own, he lost 8 pounds. In the hospital a month, restricteddiet, he lost 126 pounds. This is my shocked face.
Dr. Gnome wants him to go to the rehab center and work on things there, to get him under 600 pounds. The dude is wearing the same clothes he wore when he got there. No tarp sized hospital gowns?
Oh look, a bike rack and a biking trail there in Houston. Someone should tell Big Al, since she wants to ride a bike again. These people annoy me with their ungrateful whining about everything. This is all being given to you, for free. Stop being assholes. Ol' JT isn't making good progress in rehab, and is ordering food in. He's been there for two months and hasn't seemed to lose any weight. Time for a weighin. He's only lost 10 pounds. Now he's arguing with Dr. Gnome that he has so lost weight. Dr. Gnome isn't buying his bullshit, and JT is being a sarcastic asshole to him.
Only 35 minutes to go. Will JT get his shit together? I dunno, he is awfully defensive, and has a defensive posture (arms crossed against his chest). Dr. Gnome says JT should be able to lose 100 pounds in a month if he sticks to the diet, but his goal is only 80 pounds and he should be able to do that. Dr. Gnome is ever the optimist.
JT acts like he's a prisoner. "I guess I'm not getting out of here any time soon." You could, you know, leave. It's voluntary, dude. But he called his cousin for some support, and the cousin found him (potentially) a place to live, and is keeping him some company in the rehab center. JT claims he's sticking to the meals at the rehab place even though they suck. Yeah, we get it, man. Hospital food isn't the French Laundry.
The number of reality shows that exist (not just here on TLC) is staggering to me.
Time to leave the rehab center. JT met the 80 pound weight loss goal by losing 77 pounds. His cousin was down for a month, helping out JT. Do none of these people have jobs? (Rhetorical question.) Next goal is to lose 75 pounds over the next two months, on his own.
25 minutes to go. JT checks in to the halfway house his cousin found. Question for pondering: these people have all the time in the world, but I've yet to see any of them do something like pick up a book. JT says (again) he's sticking to the diet.His lower left laaaayyyg looks bruised, but maybe that's just where the lymphedema bangs against his laaayyyg.
20 minutes to go. Weigh in time! Did JT meet Dr Gnome's requirement? Damn, that lymphedema is enormous. Commercial break, of course.
15 minutes to go.Magic 8 BallScale says: 619, which is 52 pounds in two months. Dr. Gnome won't like that, as we know, but he's a big ol' softy and schedules the surgery a month from now, with another goal: 40 pounds. Hall talk with Dr. Gnome: JT should have lost more, but he's on the right track.
JT does look a ton smaller since this began, but losing the equivalent of a couple people will do that, I suppose.
10 minutes left. Time for surgery. Wishes he had someone there with him to support him. Well, when you're bedbound, who do you have beyond your partner (who doesn't want to be in Houston with you) and a cousin who can't spend his entire life there with you? Maybe you should have invited one of the food delivery drivers. JT's lymphedema is making it hard to keep him on the operating table like they need. I guess they better custom design a superfatty table.
Rooms lights off! Standard hallway talk with Dr. Gnome about what the WLS involves. Let's see how giant that stomach is. Damn. I guess they're not doing the lymphedema also in this surgical session. Now they have to figure out how to get him off the table. They need more people in the OR to move him. looks like 10 people. Dr. Gnome is going to keep him in the hospital until he recovers since he has no one to help him. Liquid diet time! I'm sure he won't bitch and moan about it. Pep talk from Dr. Gnome.
Ad break. I love that Progressive ad where Jamie is showing off slides and has all these pics of him doing all sorts of stuff none of his colleagues know about. It's great they gave him this other, secret life when he's such a schlub at work.
2 minutes left. How will this end? Probably with another 40 pounds gone. I wonder if they're saving the lymphedema removal for JT's followup ep. "I've been trapped here in the hospital since my surgery." OK, VictimDude. People waiting on you hand and foot, making your food and binging it, no responsibilities, and all free. Yeah, rough life, fatty.
Final weigh in of the ep: 519. That's 52 pounds this month. You know, JT has kind of a shitty attitude. Dr. Gnome says once JT reaches 450 pounds, they can remove the lymphedema. JT is still moping and doesn't seem to be jumping for joy at leaving the hospital. At least he isn't wearing those same ratty clothes he's been wearing. Hospital gowns now fit. At least he's up and walking around now. Walking to the park, final voice over. Had his first post-hospital weigh in, and weighed in at 491. His voice is putting me to sleep.
Time is up. On to the Slatons!
Here we go again. I can already tell I'm gonna be big mad at this ep unless everyone in this house gets an attitude adjustment, pronto.
Hour one
Gina: 28 years old, 600+ pounds, from NJ. Gonna be a long trip to Houston from NJ. Can't wait for THAT ride.
Usual opening whine about how she's "trapped" in her chair and only bathes when she's forced to. What the fuck? Haul your ass up and walk a little. And bathe yourself, you filthy whore.
Beth, her wife - also a fatty, really butch haircut. Cathy, Gina's mother - also a fatty. Is the whole house just fatbodies?
She sits on the toilet in the downstairs half bath and bathes with a sponge on a stick out of a bucket of water. Gets tired doing just that and stops, heading back to her chair. I guess complete washing is out of the question. Apparently she's a bitch, per her mother, who says they have to walk on eggshells around her. You know, fuck that, you're enablers.
Now Beth says this isn't the type of marriage she had in mind. Well how fucking fat was she when you got hitched? Beth says it's like Gina has given up. Duh. Look at her.
Gina says she's "starving" when she wakes up. These lardasses need to stop using that word. Beth makes a triple breakfast for Gina before she heads out to work. And Gina's fat sister then brings her food so she can stuff her face again. Aw, poor Gina, parents have to deal with the older sister because she was diagnosed with agoraphobia. That's it? That's your fucking excuse for eating yourself into near immobility?
When she was 10 she was already 150 pounds. Claims physical/mental abuse by dear old dad. By the time she was 14, was about 300 pounds. Parents got divorced, mom didn't try to keep the kids, so they wound up with dad, and would eat eat eat. Over 450 pounds by the time she graduated high school.
So these two started dating when Gina was already over 500 pounds? WTF did Beth expect, exactly? Gina will text her with whatever crappy food she wants, and picks up food for the whole house. No sex for three years, and Gina is whining that Beth will make excuses. Well, bitch, you're the size of a small car, WTF did YOU expect?
Oh, the sister and her fiancée (Keith) also live in the house. Keith is a fatty, too. Answer to the question of if that whole house is fatbodies is a yes.
Gina is demanding that Beth stop and pick up food for everyone. Beth says no, we have food at home. Gina snippily informs her that no, Beth is not going to cook this late. What bullshit is this? Her mother mouths off that Beth shouldn't treat Gina like this - by what, saying that they should cook and not pick up greasy, fatty diner food for everyone? I hate this bitch. So now they're all sitting around downstairs, stuffing their respective pieholes. Goddamn.
"I know that if I don't lose this weight, I won't have much of a future" as she stuffs every scrap of food in her face. Good lord, Beth is getting ready to get on the couch and go to sleep and Gina asks her to bring her a snack. Which she does. How about this, Beth: NO. Try it. It will work wonders. Or just get a fucking divorce and get way from these fucking people. (First ad break, includes Alive! multivitamin)
And we're back. Today is the day to begin the trek to Houston. Gina is "overwhelmed" and pissed off at mom because mom has decided to stay and help the sister with her wedding instead of babysitting Gina. Wah, it's just like my childhood when mom ignored me. Mom is out of breath carrying a bag of clothes to Gina. Thinking Mom's gonna be falling out with a giant heart attack at some point.
Beth says the car's ready. Gina doesn't move. VO is talking about how she hopes WLS will help her lose enough to go to her sister's wedding. Bitch, Dr Gnome ain't going to do surgery on you as you are right now. Gina finally hauls her ass off the chair and stuffs herself into the back seat of the van. Hey, Beth just put a big old fan in the back. Haha.
Whining about the trip, just got on the road, she nauseated. Starts snacking. Asks Beth to stop at the next fast food place. Because it wouldn't be a trip to Houston for a weightloss consultation without a giant pile of fast food all along the way when you've barely gotten started. Gina says she doesn't know how she's going to be able to give up the food. Well, then, don't, bitch. Eat yourself to death if you want. They made it a whole four hours on the road, for a 22-23 ish hour trip.
Jesus: "Just go get the stuff, get the fan, I'm hot and sweaty." Gina says to Beth. I'd be divorcing this bitch so fast. (ad break)
Back. They've made it to Houston. I'm hating her little girl speaking voice. She's soooooo scared. Surprisingly, no one else will take her on as a patient. Because you are a giant fatass. My guess as to her weight: 600 pounds. Weight: 606 pounds. It's amazing how good you can get guessing weights of these people.
OMG, she's wearing her hair up like our pet lardass here.
Dr Gnome asks what is wrong with her eating. She says eating the wrong things, snacking. Dr Gnome asks why do you snack? Boredom. So, you don't work. How do you support yourself? Disability, and Beth works. The usual 1200 calorie diet. Wow, an easy weight loss goal: 50 pounds over the next two months.
We're only half an hour in. This better be a juicy ep. Dr Gnome says she will probably need to move to Houston for care. Just how portable are the jobs the partners have?
Hall talk with Dr. Gnome. He has reservations about Gina. Preach it doc, because I do, too. Gina says she thinks it is amazing Dr. Gnome is going to work with her, but it is overwhelming that she has to lose weight on her own. Of course they stuffed their faces with fast food on the road trip back, because of the "stress" of travel. Gina is whining about not feeling well, and bitching at her mom and Beth that they are not doing this diet. Well, bitch, they are not the ones seeking WLS, are they?
Wah, nobody understands how hard this is for me. Hey, another shelf ass! Nobody is supporting me. They don't care. You know, not doing every fucking thing FOR you is not the same as not caring. Grrr. (Ad break.)
Month two. Tonight is the rehearsal for the wedding, tomorrow is the wedding. I'm wondering how this woman thought she was going to lose a ton of weight between the time she made the appointment with Dr. Gnome and now. She's all stressed and "overwhelmed" (I think that's 3 overwhelmeds so far) about the rehearsal and doesn't know if the chairs will hold her. She sits, is whining about how long she will be able to sit there. Her fupa is serving as a table for her to rest her arms on. Thinks this is a bad idea, it's "just too much for me". FFS, do you do anything other than whine? She's been there maybe five minutes, is already exhausted and working herself into a panic attack. Beth points out she can't do this tomorrow. Gina whines it's too much, the sister is worried Gina will back out. Next day, she's trying again. OMG, the three fatasses of the apocalypse are walking in. Beth must be a notary, as she's officiating this. very small wedding. Gina whining some more. Goes back to the car, Beth is going to facetime it for her. Beth takes the mic out to the car so Gina can give her speech for the sister. Good lord. (Ad break)
Picking up hour two, after the ad break, in the next post.

No sex for three years, and Gina is whining that Beth will make excuses.
Is it possible they really do feel like they're starving? Like their bizarre lifestyle has stretched their stomach to such gigantic proportions that it always feels brutally empty like they're on the verge of death?
They have to for liability reasons, otherwise it supposedly looks like the companies are endorsing the show (and companies are paranoid and run by dipshits, so, you know).I love all the attempts at blurring out brand names. It's like, we know what that shit is.
Blue plastic with round chocolate creme sandwich cookies inside? Oreos.
Red box with huge orange squares on the front? Cheez-its.
Tube with fake-looking "chips" inside? Pringles. ETA: She eats the WHOLE FUCKING TUBE even after three gigantic meals and some Oreos. Gross.
Ordering chicken fries at the drive-through? Burger King.
Maybe the producers should go ahead and get some good promotional crossovers with these companies. I'd honestly love to see a Burger King ad blitz right before a localized ad for a nearby bariatric center. Capitalism!
Thanks for posting this- missed it on TV, now I'm catching up. I thought this absolute ham planet was the most hateable in a while. She had the gall to be upset that her family wanted her to shower more than once a month. She even made her sister's wedding about herself. I feel like this episode provides us with a very real look at a future Amberlynn Reid.https://youtube.com/watch?v=6Z_7hC2tlT4
That's some Hamber-and-Necky-by-proxy realness.
And she says if she had her way she’d bathe less than that and wonders why Beth hasn’t gone calm diving for three years.Omg Gina half-bathes from a bucket once a month.I can’t imagine the smell.
