Silly husband, should have fed his wife rabbit food and let her starve.

How does anybody gain 5lbs after surgery.

She was insane...

    I've never watched the show but I've seen the previews. What I never really understood, like always perplexed me was the caretakers. Like, stop giving them so much food and only give them certain types of food. I mean, they a ****ing bedridden. What are they going to do? Waddle to the kitchen to make their own milkshake? Peeps can't even walk. The only reason that people can even possibly be this fat is someone feeding them like the livestock they are.

    Last night was about a person named Penny
    and she was extreamly Alapha, and the husband was extreamly beta, or a doormat. and I am thinging the exact same thing as you. Give her the food and before she even start to yell, is to leave the house.

    I completely agree with you! Someone has to be bringing them this food and they are just giving them what they want instead of what they need!!
  • My mom and I have been watching this show and it's shocking! And Penny last night after having the surgery didn't change a thing and gained weight! It's sooo sad! She obviously can't make the change in her mind!

    I believe Penny is with the attitude of " I am always right", and I am never wrong...

    There's an episode on Netflix that I've seen before, but the person it revolved around was strict on her diet and exercise routine. She went from being house bound to living on her own and consoling other people going through gastric bypass.

    The "Penny" episode however, sounds pretty enraging.

    Is that a real question? Oh I see TLC has already had an effect on you.

    seriously though, look at their programming.

    UGH YES!!! I wanted to throw something at the TV. She acts like she's a freaking victim that she's trying so hard etc etc etc and then she eats freaking fried wontons? Are you kidding me? The husband was equally as clueless but at some point you have to learn basics, like deep frying is not healthy. cake isn't healthy.

    She complained about not being given any direction when discharged. Are you kidding? I've NEVER heard a grown woman complain and victimize herself so much in my life. Her son is going to be paying for her actions the rest of his life. I was particularly outraged when she said that "all moms miss out on their child's activities." yeah, most moms aren't able to be at every event for their child. but you can bet your butt that if I miss an event it's not because I can't get out of my bed because I'm too busy eating fried wontons and cake and 8 pieces of ham and a pound of mashed potatoes.

    Not only does the husband enable her, but they are also on disability as he is her full time caretaker neither of them can work. Umm.... I am not always one to scream "who's paying for this?" but in this case i am as this is entirely preventable. The woman doesn't want help and is a drain on the people who even tried to help her.

    My husband usually does the grocery shopping and while I'm perfectly capable of shopping or getting my own junk food he doesn't even buy ice cream because he knows I'll eat that crap right up for breakfast lunch and dinner. Not having it in the house makes me have to go out and get it as an honest to God treat and not something to indulge in for 500 calories a night, every night.

    I can't even verbalize how mad I am...

    in any case the woman on the first episode is incredible. Absolutely incredible. She lost and maintained her loss and now helps other people considering the surgery. She knows the surgery wasn't the answer but used it as a tool in her arsenal to lead a healthy life.

    I stopped watching after the episode with the Chubby-Chasing husband. He didn't want her to lose the weight.

    As soon as she was discharged from the hospital, on the ride home, he stopped at the drive-thru. Asked her what she wanted, she declined. Then he asked her to hold his french fries so he could eat and drive.

    I stopped watching, that made me sick.

    Some of the caretakers can be just as sick. There are even some ppl who have "feeder" fetishes. There's even a website called "Fantasy Feeder" and I'm sure many more like it. It's a sickness...

    ^^^ this!!!
    I was yelling at the TV "LIAR!!!" every time she blamed someone else for her problems. I've had the surgery and I've done well with it and I know what food addiction is from my own personal experience...but i have NEVER seen or heard someone be so unaccountable for her own actions!!! SHE IS THE ONLY PERSON SHOVELING THAT FOOD INTO HER MOUTH!!! How could she STAND to eat that much food a few months after surgery...I even LOOK at a full plate of food and I am full. This woman deserves whatever she gets and I feel bad for her child. He has 2 parents who should NOT be raising a child because they clearly can't care for themselves.

    haha I didn't dictate what can and can't be said but thanks for making me look like a total *kitten*.
    I said that's not why the thread was started and the derailment of topics like this is terribly frustrating. Say what you want. IT is an open forum. I dont' control what you type and don't care to. But thanks :)

    I agree with this. I don't view this as a sickness, but more of a fetish. Everybody has their "things" that just do it for them.

    At the end of the day, these women have men that will love them (and feed them).

    I did not feel sorry for her when she cried. I only saw previews, but you are they reason you got there...

    Same thing with the hoarders. I do not pitty people who chose food, object, drugs or anything over the health of themselve and most of all their children!

    so gross..

    Do you know her husbands name, the idiot that kept pumping her with food? They have 3 videos of the series, but dont mention her name.................They do seem to label the husbands name,..........strange though

    is this the series, some one mentioned she was a model?

    Zsaylnn, once known as the "Fat Girl Rock Star" - married a man who loves large women. Now weighing over 600lbs, she urgently needs to lose weight to be the mother her daughter deserves. Can Zsalynn succeed with a husband who doesn't support her goals?

    I don't know why the husband could not put 2 and 2 together and do something..
    but I will give him koodoos' for quiting his job to take care of his wife...

    but he needed to put his food down.

    I'm right there with you. I don't think I've ever rooted for somebody to die from obesity until last night. The worst part was that she took donations from her family and community to get the surgery and treatment. Sometimes you just need to walk away from a bad investment.

    I ask the same thing...

    My girlfriend's cousins aunt comes to family functions, she's easily 500 plus and was even hospitalized. I forget why she was there I think it was a stroke or heart attack, but they had to remove a huge infected chunk out of her leg also and she's now in a wheel chair most of the time. The Hospital kept her for a little cause she needed to lose weight, she lost 40 lbs and all she would do is complain about how hungry she is. She was even offered gastric bypass, and refused. She eats like she's a family of five and shows no interest to stop. I imagine she'll be bed ridden shortly, and it's quite disgusting that she has no interest to change her lifestyle after be given so many options.
