My 600 pound Life - literal and figurative cows.

[I call shenanigans]

If you adjust your calories as you lose weight, you won't plateau. Plateaus happen because you hit the point where how many calories you are consuming become the maintenence calories for your new weight.

If only it were that simple...it actually isn't. For example WLS patients almost always plateau for a few weeks at about 3 weeks post op, when they are still on very low calories (they can't even have solids by that stage). The human body likes equilibrium in many things, and weight is one of them. Starvation diets will seriously slow down metabolism, hence weightloss is not a linear thing. There will be ups, downs, and plateaus even if a person is strictly following a calorie deficit.

Steven Assanti is reported to have died.

Edit: Something smells fishy, and it ain't just Steven not having taken a shower. That particular post has been deleted, and no corroborating evidence is available. Still, with how he was living his alleged life, well, tick tock.

I don't know what even made me think of this comparison, but Assanti is a Luka Magnotta-level attention seeker. Justin and Dad would probably already be dead if Steven wasn't such a fat, lazy fuck.

Looks as if we're in a mid-seasonal break this week.
For posterity, here are links to

Sadly, the flixtor-site doesn't allow to view older episodes without a subscription anymore.

ATM, around 75 episodes of earlier seasons are viewable on dailymotion still, these are the longer episodes;
shorter ones with other search criteria also

The open facebook group also still provides videos, pictures and updates on the people from the show.

Gotta love when they are told to rush to the hospital for a possible intestinal blockage but go nah lets go to buffet first.

 

[NerdShamer]

Well, they might die on the operating table, so might as well make the most of what's potentially last night on this mortal plane

 

[The Taco Santo!]

Die doing what you loved: Pigging out at a buffet and building up a toilet-shattering shitbomb.

So why are all of Dr. Now's staff fat? I mean, they're not blimp monsters like the clientele, but still.

You'd think that the buffet beef and broccoli would give her the shits, buffet food runs through me like a Kenyan sprinter.

The average American women is 5,4 and 185 lbs. Americans in general are quite fat.

At least one of them is a former patient with an episode of her own in the first season.

Both Melissa Morris (S1E1/2) and Henry Foote (S1E4) went on to work for Dr Now. Henry has long since died. I suspect many people who have been patients of his have gone on to work for him. It’s not unusual for a few WLS patients to end up working in the bariatric clinic where they had surgery.

I feel like American hospitals should contact Japanese whalers to deal with patients like this.

 

[beautiful person]

Any episodes this season worth watching? I'm probably going to watch the Latoya one later since she's apparently a repeat patient.

Those knives are amazing. I've never seen a blade like the wedge knives before. I'd hate to see what would happen if one of the weilders got pissed off.

 

[BigKant]

Is this show still going? If so, goddamn!
I guess they won't run out of fat people any time soon.

 

[I call shenanigans]

They won’t run out of fat people, but they will run out of Dr Now’s ability to continue operating. While there are other bariatric surgeons, there is only one Dr Now.

Bingo. The dude will be 79 years old in October and he can't keep operating forever.

That’s why he’s Dr Now, not Dr Later

Wanted to ask: which episode was a dude who sang in a choir? I never caught the end of that one. Think he was thin enough to walk by mid-ep.

I think I know who you're talking about, but I believe he passed away. Not 100% sure on that so don't quote me.
