Omg I LOVE The Maker scents!!! My fave for winter is Stag and for summer it’s Paradisio. Wasn’t personally a fan of Gucci Bloom but that’s just personal preference it was too floral for me. Also loving Black Opium by YSL. ❤
Skin removal surgery is painful and it's a long recovery time. They're literally cutting a huge chunk out of you and sewing you back together. At least her doctor is putting his ego aside and admitting he can't do it
I'm sure she's disappointed, but it's not a small surgery. It's a huge deal. Any surgery is taking a risk to die, so if she needs a team, it's best they find a team that can do that safely. She's been lucky until now, but that doesn't mean her luck will last forever.
Its doctors like this that give me hope for the medical field. It was thanks to one nice specialist in Florida that help me wake up out of my puking frenzy/couldnt eat anything bc doctors in hospitals kept lying to me saying I'm gonna tons of test, they don't know whats wrong, etc and say I'm gonna need to pay a lot of money to find out and the specialist I mentioned before looked at my scans and said nothing is wrong with you. There's nothing on these scans. Thats the day I woke up and got better. Its thanks to a small kind gesture even though Tammy probably cant see it in the moment, will be glad later on she listened to him. I was still young when this happened and I was with no family, so pls be knowledgable so you don't get taken advantage of. Its sad I have to say that, but it happens.
I think that average person has absolutely no idea how hard it is to get around with all of that loose skin. Tammy has more than 50 lbs of loose skin, if not closer to 75 lbs. It affects that clothes you can wear, it's FLOPPY, and requires constant adjusting. I have a friend who has maybe 10-30 lbs of loose skin, and she is constantly re-tucking her belly skin into her leggings at the gym, needs super containing sports bras so the skin doesn't fall out, and it affects her intimate areas too. Not only is it difficult to live with, but it is a HUGE confidence killer. I would be crushed to be continuously told that I have to continue to live with it for more time.
I literally just got robbed from a Facebook Marketplace sale, trying to keep it together, and Queen Po posts in the midst of chaos. Freaking love you sis. 😭🙏💗 You seriously are such a positive distraction and safe space for so many of us.
How? If buying did you not check out what you were buying? If selling did you not take cash and then get a charge back? I don't how people get taken on fb market.
I really feel sorry for everyone in this video. Obesity is a dark trapping tunnel that's almost impossible to escape from once you enter it, while everyone screams from the outside "just do it, you lazy pig". Life can really suck.
Yea its easy to understand drugs. But ppl cant understand food addiction. Since everyone eats food an can just stop or eat the right amount. They dont get the high. Now u can understand high from a drug
Tammy is fortunate the doctor just didn't try to do it himself!! I had my skin removed from my abdomen and had to go back 3 times because the surgeon left too much skin at the top of my abdomen. Each time I was just numbed up and cut in the office. I had to pay for my own skin removal, 18k It was definitely worth it and I would do it all over again if I had to
@justjo7282 This is really sad to think we have to pay 18k for this..I'm so sorry they did that to you..Truly as someone whose been fucked over by hospitals, my heart goes out to you. Some doctors cant admit when they cant handle something bc they see walking money signs and at most, we have no other options.. Thats why it was nice this doctor on the episode was just straight up with Tammy.
As a nurse I can confirm everyone’s healing journey after surgery is different. People have different tolerance to pain and pain killers. Some people heal very quickly and some people end up having complications. I wouldn’t base your surgery desition on someone else’s story. Just take all the advice and figure out how your gut feels about your own journey and what supports you have available to yourself❤
Does anyone else feel like Meghan is always low-key jealous of Vanessa? She never seems genuinely happy for her progress and only compares it to her own.
I feel like that's just how they are. When Meghan lost the weight, Vanessa was disgusting and bitter as hell. But Vanessa also became very high and mighty and too authoritarian. It's hard to be genuinely happy for someone who looks down at everyone else.
Girlllll when Tammy rolled up her window after Amanda asked if she wanted to join them for prayer I laughed so freaking hard I had to pause the episode 🤣🤣🤣 I wish I had that level of pettiness
7:20 I believe Tammy is doing better mentally, but the fact that her and her sister are on bad terms, and seeing how she used to act makes me feel she's still entitled and selfish. These type of things take years or decades of therapy to work through. She's putting in the work, but theres a long way to go.
yeah i'm shocked she wouldn't forgive amanda especially after amanda extended the olive branch. but maybe we're not seeing something that happened off screen?
@@mythots I disagree. I didn’t see it as an olive branch because she didn’t admit what she did, and she blamed Tammy at the same time. This isn’t the first time that she’s picked a fight and refused to apologize.
It’s true sometimes Tammy gets a lot of hate but she’s just so mean to her family when she gets upset. More so in the past. But when that meanness surfaces it just irks me. lol But I still want to see her succeed. ❤
I can relate too this show so much & your point of view, I don’t even watch the episodes anymore. I just watch your recaps. I got diagnosed w osteosarcoma in 2016 & gained over 50lbs due to being bed ridden for 10 months in the hospital. I went in 220 came out over 270 in a wheelchair. I lost over 100lbs intermittently fasting. It has helped a lot with overeating & learning when you’re full if you have an issue w feeling the need to finish all your food in one sitting. That was my issue because I was raised that I couldn’t leave the table at my grandparents if I didn’t finish my food & my parents cooked unhealthy. Once you learn how to cook healthier food to your taste it’ll stop the laziness & eating processed food all the time. For taste buds will change & you won’t crave the unhealthy food so much.
@@24Lorn I’m cancer free. I was diagnosed 2 days before Christmas of my freshman year of high school & was pronounced cancer free a week after Christmas the following year. Had 22 rounds of chemo & went through 11 surgeries & had to get a tumor removed out of my hip & bone replacement from my fibula in my left leg too my left hip where they removed partially my satica nerve & my left pelvis. Went through occupational therapy & physical therapy. I have a permanent limp & none feeling in my left foot so I can’t move it up & down which has left to a big toe partial amputation. I’ve been through a lot but we are seeing much brighter days & God has been amazing too me. BEYOND BLESSED! Thank you for asking! I don’t share my story much, it’s a long one.
LONG STORY SHORT, I didn’t lose weight through working out or anything. It strictly comes down to your diet every time. Even those that workout have to pay attention to their diet & even during breaks or when they completely stop to try to maintain shape. It sucks but you definitely adjust to what you like. Discipline.
I had an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) 2 years ago and, it did hurt. Especially when coughing/sneezing. The pain meds don’t take away the pain completely but they do help you sleep so you can sleep through the worst of the pain. And the pain isn’t unbearable. And the pain is temporary. I would do it all over again because I am so much more happy and comfortable in my body. Your abdomen will feel pretty weird for about a year because the nerves have been damaged but it doesn’t hurt and it does eventually feel normal again. Highly recommend.
jokes aside the look on tammy’s face at 6:30 actually made me tear up, you can see how genuinely defeated she looks :( imagine going through all this and working so hard just to not be able to get the skin removed, it has to be disappointing :(
I'm actually very proud of Tammy! She didn't get denied because she didn't meet the weight loss goal, she got denied because the doctor she went to didn't have enough staff to do her justice! Our girl did what SHE needed to do!
I’m sorry, that Doctor HAD to have known that her surgery was too much for his practice to handle. Why did they continue to string her along? That’s cruel .
I will admit I reacted the same way after surgery. I was like "I can see and touch it !!!" I also would say I missed my roll too. I had to buy new underwear and pants. I felt like I had to learn how to wear clothes again. It was a strange and awkward feeling that's hard to explain. I was paranoid for anything to touch my incision scar for a while due to complications of it taking three months to heal. I didn't have any infection or anything but my body was rejecting the staples and stitches that a large portion of my incision had to heal from the inside out. So, for three months I have fluids continuously draining and have to go every three days to get it scrapped and cleaned out to make sure there was no infection. I didn't have pain but was stuck in the house due to the constant fluid draining. I had to buy a new mattress when I was completely healed because even with a mattress protector it was soaked and there was no way to clean it. If I could go back and change my mind I wouldn't because it ultimately got rid of the constant pain I had from the extra skin pulling down my stomach.
My husband and I spent almost a month in St. Lucia. We met a couple on their honeymoon from the UK. My husband couldn't understand a word they said!!! My hubby would ask me what they were saying! One day after going to the beach with the couple, when we got home, he asked me who was Bloke?. Apparently the guy kept talking about a "bloke" and my husband thought it was someone famous!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's been 10 years and I still tease him about it!! And, tbf, it was difficult to understand their accent.
hahaha yeah i spoke w/ someone in the UK on the phone that i could not understand AT ALL i was like ............ i'm so sorry but.. can you speak slowly? that didn't help either
The people complaining about Tammy’s attitude fail to realize that carrying around all that loose skin is heavy as HELL. She has every right to feel upset because she’s most likely uncomfortable walking around with 2 tons of loose skin wrapped around her body. Give her some grace, sheesh!
Amy’s constant crying jags over everything and nothing is annoying. Imo, Amy needs attention. And she found a new way of getting it thru crying! Tammy has come through a lot and I give her total credit.
Paris doesn’t have a bullet train. They have a high speed train that goes a bit faster there typical ones, and can take you to further places. But it’s not called a “bullet train” which is something Japan and maybe China have … they call it that specifically
I hate to think this, because no one should ever be compared to Angela, but every time Vanessa speaks, all I hear is Angela. She kinda looks like her, too. Thank God she acts NOTHING like Angela.
If the doctor that Tammy visited said he would need a bigger staff or a different institution would need to do it with more surgeons, couldn't he have recommended her to a different place so she could get the skin removal surgery done? I mean it sounds like he technically approved her so if staff size is the problem, send her somewhere else! Tamtam deserves her surgery!!!
She needs multiple surgeons to work safely. One surgeon can only do like 15lbs of skin in the set time (anesthesia) she needs way more removed. The Dr they visited is the only surgeon in a small practice so she needs to go to a larger pratice.
The first couple of surgeons said that she wasn’t ready because if they removed skin now they would need to redo it again once she lost more weight. It’s a pretty invasive surgery so I understand why they wouldn’t want to have to do it multiple times.
@@SOS1818 it totally does, such a warning to not let it get that bad. I completely get it tho surgery and anesthesia is so scary. I would rather a Dr be like "I can't do this alone" rather than "YOLO I got this" 😂
string cheese is a delicacy. I also have to stop myself from running through a whole bag once I eat one and its a snack you can share with your furbaby!
Never give me a box of Ms. Fields cookies.. That box will be empty by end of night. I clear a 60 cookie bite size ones in a day and a half. And yes, Vanessa is so inspirational.
She's not done losing weight yet and they won't do it if and when you still have a lot of weight. It defeats the purpose to have it done and youre still losing. Be patient
I love the 1000 pound series and appreciate the recaps cuz I don't watch the actual show. I think part of why I enjoy it is cuz it's my journey as well (Gastric Bypass), but I wasn't as large as the people on the show by a long shot. I'll be honest, I do cringe at the amount of food they all eat post-surgery. I'm not even sure how they do it cuz I can't eat more than about 1/2 cup at a time. It warms my heart seeing how successful Tammy and Vanessa have been. I find it motivating
Imagine how it feels to finally loose that much weight and still be held back because of the loose skin. Probably so frustrating and depressing:( also have you tried taking weight loss medication Po? I recommend Phentramine some people have intense side affects but I liked it and looking into long term medicine
My husband and I had our honeymoon in Europe over the summer and Paris has pedestrian signals on the street lights. But they are very much just "guidelines" not the "rule" if that makes sense, and European driver are definitely a different level of chaotic, compared to American crazy drivers. We usually waited for a crowd of people to walk across the street and we just went with them 😅 lol
Wow Tammy, English literally came from England. Also everyone has an accent not just “foreign” countries. When people outside the US hear us speak we sound “foreign “ to them too.
Vanessa looks wonderful. I agree with you about her teeth. Teeth change the look of the entire face and the confidence. I dated a guy that had some teeth issues right in the front and some team from the US Navy came to do extreme dental makeover stuff. He always said it didn't really bother him, but the change after he got it fixed was unbelievable. He smiled constantly, in pictures and otherwise. I don't think he realized it because his teeth were like that since he was a kid. He'd grown up in Honduras and didn't have access to water with fluoride. Moved to Belize here and they used rainwater, no floride either so his sister also had bad teeth. Hers she got gold, which I definitely don't like for front teeth. His now look like regular teeth.
Po we have the same top two!! I’m wearing bloom rn! I’ll recommend Gucci guilty! I love that one too! I get a lot of compliments of Marc Jacob’s perfect but it might be WAY too strong for you so be cautious lol❤
On the show "1000lb Friends," the individuals featured typically pay for their own skin removal surgeries as most health insurance plans do not cover cosmetic procedures like skin removal after significant weight loss, even if the weight loss was due to medically necessary surgery like bariatric surgery; however, the specifics of each person's situation and coverage may vary The cost of weight loss surgery for the stars of 1000-Lb. Sisters varies by the individual and their circumstances: Tammy Slaton According to IMDb, Tammy spent all of her show money on rehab. The total cost of her surgery could have been as much as $85,000. Chris Combs Chris has been saving up for skin removal surgery, which can be expensive. He also started selling pies to help pay for the procedure.
learning or scott’s habits when ole girl went to clean his fridge was so sad to see. he looked like a sad little kid:(. ik he’s grown and shoukd take accountability but after hearing how his parents “handled” his overeating as a kid, it’s understandable why it’s taking him so long
I'm a fiend for string cheese. I hate when it comes in those individual packages. I used to live in WI where you could buy the real stuff, fresh in a big globe that you pull off the bunch. Ohhhhhhh, God. The smoked string cheese! I live all the way in Belize, Central America/Caribbean now and cheese is pretty hard to come by here and very expensive if you can find decent stuff. No string cheese. I do try to get some when I'm home and I get disappointed if I can only find the stuff in the individual packages. It just doesn't taste good.
No cause I also had BED when living with my parents for years and I can’t stop laughing all he did was throw it behind the couch 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 there’s no way he really thought she didn’t see it?! 😂
I can’t imagine how mentally frustrating it would be to lose that much weight then be told you have to have multiple skin removal surgeries. I would be gritted too. I’d wanna give up. I do feel for Tammy.
Po you are sooo relatable!!! I love your commentary. "I Like older men because #daddyissues" 😂 Also, at 18:41 I can't help but wonder if he has huge feet or if that scale was made to piss people off 😂
I'm so happy that one lady finally got skin surgery. It had to be a huge improvement! btw I'm also not showing anyone my body parts like that, not even close relatives or friends. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but they're called private parts for a reason lol.
Po after you have a surgery like this, you don’t care anymore. My mom saw every bit of me. She used to tell me just work out on your chest and when she saw me get drawn on, she said oh yeah honey you need that done she has seen every part of my body and she still does 20 years later
People need to be nicer when it comes to body weight. I have the opposite problem-I’ve always been skinny as a rail-to the point where I’ve been called anorexic & men have told me “I need to gain weight” or “I’d look better with implants.” It’s hurtful and destructive
Dont need surgery for weight loss. You need a dietitian if you dont know about nutrition and or put effort into learning. And get on a fitness regiment while staying in a kcal deficit. Its not as hard as everyone thinks. And before you come at me i was well over 300lbs now at 185 no surgery or crazy diet needed

So happy to see you consistently 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
As a Brit I can confirm that I've never been pickpocketed or run over in this country😂
So Tammys surgery was still a go, they just need a larger team and facility which isnt a "No"
Correct???
Doctor Proctor is literally so hot lmao
Paris doesn’t have a bullet train. They have a high speed train that goes a bit faster there typical ones, and can take you to further places.
But it’s not called a “bullet train” which is something Japan and maybe China have … they call it that specifically
I agree that Vanessa should see a dentist. It would make a huge improvement to her appearance
I don't watch this show but found it interesting through your reactions. Thanks Po love ya 😘
I hate to think this, because no one should ever be compared to Angela, but every time Vanessa speaks, all I hear is Angela. She kinda looks like her, too. Thank God she acts NOTHING like Angela.
Girrrl ur laughter is contagious ✨
If the doctor that Tammy visited said he would need a bigger staff or a different institution would need to do it with more surgeons, couldn't he have recommended her to a different place so she could get the skin removal surgery done? I mean it sounds like he technically approved her so if staff size is the problem, send her somewhere else! Tamtam deserves her surgery!!!
TBH she didn't really get denied surgery. She kind of got approved but just needs to switch doctors and hope they are capable of handling her case.
awww.. 'THot Po' you are a beautiful spirit! I enjoy being a new sub. You are legend!❤
7:44 I have that SAME purple suitcase! They are amazing! So sturdy and organized!
9:24 literally the insurance company pays or the govt depending on if she has private or gov coverage
8:47 girl I was in the middle of taking a shot and almost choked lmaoo
Chris losing the weight shows he went back to old eating habits. I hope he stays on track!
I love your podcast!!🎉
2:33 PO just now learning pedestrians have the right away is so funny. I love how sheltered she is with the prison info and this stuff
It’s the usher song for me. It has me weak 😂😂😂
Are they denying her surgery because she most likely will need another one after...? Idk why they are letting it get so bad
She needs multiple surgeons to work safely. One surgeon can only do like 15lbs of skin in the set time (anesthesia) she needs way more removed. The Dr they visited is the only surgeon in a small practice so she needs to go to a larger pratice.
@SpicyPlur omg, I had no idea! Thank you for that information. It makes a lot more sense now. It still sucks for Tammy, though 😕
The first couple of surgeons said that she wasn’t ready because if they removed skin now they would need to redo it again once she lost more weight. It’s a pretty invasive surgery so I understand why they wouldn’t want to have to do it multiple times.
@@SOS1818 it totally does, such a warning to not let it get that bad. I completely get it tho surgery and anesthesia is so scary. I would rather a Dr be like "I can't do this alone" rather than "YOLO I got this" 😂
@@SOS1818 You would’ve had an idea if you paid attention to the video…
Yes, Dr. Proctor is fine 🤣😍
string cheese is a delicacy. I also have to stop myself from running through a whole bag once I eat one and its a snack you can share with your furbaby!
Tammy should reach out to Dr. Now from 600lb life. He has a team that can do the skin surgery for sure.
Never give me a box of Ms. Fields cookies.. That box will be empty by end of night. I clear a 60 cookie bite size ones in a day and a half. And yes, Vanessa is so inspirational.
I've been on the same weight loss journey too 😭 since freaking TWELVE
HAHAHA JOIN THE CLUB
She's not done losing weight yet and they won't do it if and when you still have a lot of weight. It defeats the purpose to have it done and youre still losing. Be patient
Yep
Love you Po. Happy holidays. Appreciate your content
I personally feel Tammy is more tame this season. Let her have her moments of emotional outbursts she’s been through a lot in the public eye
I love the 1000 pound series and appreciate the recaps cuz I don't watch the actual show. I think part of why I enjoy it is cuz it's my journey as well (Gastric Bypass), but I wasn't as large as the people on the show by a long shot. I'll be honest, I do cringe at the amount of food they all eat post-surgery. I'm not even sure how they do it cuz I can't eat more than about 1/2 cup at a time. It warms my heart seeing how successful Tammy and Vanessa have been. I find it motivating
Imagine how it feels to finally loose that much weight and still be held back because of the loose skin. Probably so frustrating and depressing:(
also have you tried taking weight loss medication Po? I recommend Phentramine some people have intense side affects but I liked it and looking into long term medicine
My husband and I had our honeymoon in Europe over the summer and Paris has pedestrian signals on the street lights. But they are very much just "guidelines" not the "rule" if that makes sense, and European driver are definitely a different level of chaotic, compared to American crazy drivers. We usually waited for a crowd of people to walk across the street and we just went with them 😅 lol
Yay for cooking the steak finally! Good luck, it will taste amazing!
Wow Tammy, English literally came from England. Also everyone has an accent not just “foreign” countries. When people outside the US hear us speak we sound “foreign “ to them too.
I saw a picture of Vanessa and her teeth were fixed and hair had extensions. It was cute.
After a certain weight you qualify for disability and Medicaid will often pay for the surgeries. Depending on the state ofc
Vanessa looks wonderful. I agree with you about her teeth. Teeth change the look of the entire face and the confidence. I dated a guy that had some teeth issues right in the front and some team from the US Navy came to do extreme dental makeover stuff. He always said it didn't really bother him, but the change after he got it fixed was unbelievable. He smiled constantly, in pictures and otherwise. I don't think he realized it because his teeth were like that since he was a kid. He'd grown up in Honduras and didn't have access to water with fluoride. Moved to Belize here and they used rainwater, no floride either so his sister also had bad teeth. Hers she got gold, which I definitely don't like for front teeth. His now look like regular teeth.
Omg I clicked way too fast. Oh well I’m already here 😂🎉
oh oh oh hiiii
@ I’m having a fan girl moment 🥹
@@zozivelickovic 🥰
Po we have the same top two!! I’m wearing bloom rn! I’ll recommend Gucci guilty! I love that one too! I get a lot of compliments of Marc Jacob’s perfect but it might be WAY too strong for you so be cautious lol❤
Honestly it’s too strong for me but one spray will last all day long and other people really seem to like smelling it😂
omg which Marc Jacobs?? i love the OG Daisy
@@mythotsit’s called “perfect”! I’m gonna try daisy bc I now trust your perfume recommendations😂
@@figuringoutkayc ok i'm gonna check out perfect!!! let me know if you like daisy or not haha
Was in Paris this time last year. Can confirm that they def had crosswalks and signals.
On the show "1000lb Friends," the individuals featured typically pay for their own skin removal surgeries as most health insurance plans do not cover cosmetic procedures like skin removal after significant weight loss, even if the weight loss was due to medically necessary surgery like bariatric surgery; however, the specifics of each person's situation and coverage may vary
The cost of weight loss surgery for the stars of 1000-Lb. Sisters varies by the individual and their circumstances:
Tammy Slaton
According to IMDb, Tammy spent all of her show money on rehab. The total cost of her surgery could have been as much as $85,000.
Chris Combs
Chris has been saving up for skin removal surgery, which can be expensive. He also started selling pies to help pay for the procedure.
Po, you be got me through though my first semester of senior year and dual college! I know you’re going to get my through my last 😊😅
learning or scott’s habits when ole girl went to clean his fridge was so sad to see. he looked like a sad little kid:(. ik he’s grown and shoukd take accountability but after hearing how his parents “handled” his overeating as a kid, it’s understandable why it’s taking him so long
6:28 Bro sounds like Dr.Phil 💀
hahaha
I've never been this early by accident 😮
That doctor sounds like Dr. Phil.😂
For the smoke alarm: put a shower cap over the smoke alarm to prevent it from going off while you cook. Works like a charm!
GIRL SLAYYY THIS IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA
If you have insurance they will most likely cover it but only if it is deemed medically necessary
I'm a fiend for string cheese. I hate when it comes in those individual packages. I used to live in WI where you could buy the real stuff, fresh in a big globe that you pull off the bunch. Ohhhhhhh, God. The smoked string cheese! I live all the way in Belize, Central America/Caribbean now and cheese is pretty hard to come by here and very expensive if you can find decent stuff. No string cheese. I do try to get some when I'm home and I get disappointed if I can only find the stuff in the individual packages. It just doesn't taste good.
7:20
People feel that way because how she has treated amanda
peanut mms for me too. I just dont buy them anymore. I had to quit cold turkey cause id eat a bag everyday for ages.
No cause I also had BED when living with my parents for years and I can’t stop laughing all he did was throw it behind the couch 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 there’s no way he really thought she didn’t see it?! 😂
My trigger snack is hot fries & Sour cream &onion chips
I just got back to Paris, and they have cross walks now!! And traffic lights as well for pedestrians!
I can’t imagine how mentally frustrating it would be to lose that much weight then be told you have to have multiple skin removal surgeries. I would be gritted too. I’d wanna give up. I do feel for Tammy.
Po you are sooo relatable!!! I love your commentary.
"I Like older men because #daddyissues" 😂
Also, at 18:41 I can't help but wonder if he has huge feet or if that scale was made to piss people off 😂
I'm so happy that one lady finally got skin surgery. It had to be a huge improvement! btw I'm also not showing anyone my body parts like that, not even close relatives or friends. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but they're called private parts for a reason lol.
Po after you have a surgery like this, you don’t care anymore. My mom saw every bit of me. She used to tell me just work out on your chest and when she saw me get drawn on, she said oh yeah honey you need that done she has seen every part of my body and she still does 20 years later
I love waking up to new episode especially because I can watch this during my work out routine 😊 thanks Po!
People need to be nicer when it comes to body weight. I have the opposite problem-I’ve always been skinny as a rail-to the point where I’ve been called anorexic & men have told me “I need to gain weight” or “I’d look better with implants.” It’s hurtful and destructive
I KNOW this girl did Not ask if she needed a translator 😂😂😂😂😂😂 lmao that's wild 🤦😂
Thanks for the recap po
Mom wasn't kidding when she told the doctor about his string cheese!
Dont need surgery for weight loss. You need a dietitian if you dont know about nutrition and or put effort into learning. And get on a fitness regiment while staying in a kcal deficit. Its not as hard as everyone thinks. And before you come at me i was well over 300lbs now at 185 no surgery or crazy diet needed
Dont tell me your skin snapped back
@meggie423 not everywhere, but I don't see where I spoke about skin reduction at all but go ahead
I Too am addicted to String Cheese!😋
