00:00:00I can feel my body breaking down.
00:00:15I have to change.
00:00:22These surgeries represent freedom.
00:00:25I'm risking everything for a chance to have a future.
00:00:37I have a lot of lost time to make up for.
00:00:39I can breathe so much better now.
00:00:42I never would have believed I'd be capable of this.
00:00:46Do you value your life?
00:00:48Yes.
00:00:49Because if you don't, you're going to end up gaining your weight back.
00:00:52And here's the life.
00:00:54They both gained weight, but I was shocked to see how much.
00:01:01When I wake up in the morning, I think, here comes another day full of things I can't do.
00:01:22Because I can't even do the most basic things on my own anymore.
00:01:26I'm too big now.
00:01:28Cash.
00:01:29Here.
00:01:30I got to poop.
00:01:33Cash is my younger brother.
00:01:35He does everything for me.
00:01:39I would do anything for Carlton, because he's my brother and I love him.
00:01:43I get sad seeing him struggle.
00:01:47Only thing that makes me sadder, my sister's pretty much living the same life as me, right
00:01:52upstairs.
00:01:53Come on.
00:01:54Come on, my sunshine.
00:01:55I live here in my mom's house with her, her wife Elaine, my husband, our three kids, and
00:02:05both my brothers.
00:02:06I mostly just stay in my room on his bed most of the day.
00:02:11I still have a little bit of mobility, but it's not enough.
00:02:15So in the morning, Michael gets up and he gets the kids ready for school and I just
00:02:19watch him.
00:02:21It's been years since I've been out of the house, and now I just feel like I'm living
00:02:25to eat.
00:02:26Food has always been a big part of me and Carlton's life.
00:02:29And I was around nine when I realized that my mom was being abused by my dad.
00:02:33I'll try my best to hide it from my brother.
00:02:36When my dad got angry, I would put my brother in the room and I would go and get something
00:02:39for us to snack on.
00:02:42It's how we felt loved and it's how we felt safe.
00:02:46My drinks.
00:02:47Cash, can you help me?
00:02:49I need you.
00:02:50Cash, can you help me?
00:02:51I feel like me and Carlton are just not living.
00:02:53And I think to myself, that it's my fault.
00:02:55He's like this.
00:02:56If I was a better example, maybe he would have ate better.
00:03:01And if I lose him because of this, I don't think I'd ever recover.
00:03:07My worst fear is Chantel dying.
00:03:12It's the one thing I can't handle.
00:03:17Things have to change because I don't want to be like this.
00:03:20I want a life.
00:03:22I want to live.
00:03:23But the only way to do that is to lose weight.
00:03:26So me and her have to find a way to change that before it's too late.
00:03:32I'm going to need y'all to start giving me the stuff from up there so we can sit it on
00:03:36the bed.
00:03:37Yes, we need that.
00:03:39Me and Carlton have decided to try and get help from Dr. Nell and let us do his weight
00:03:44loss program.
00:03:45But we know if he does that, we're going to have to be in Houston a lot.
00:03:49So we talked it all over as a family and decided that we need them over in Houston.
00:03:54I don't go out and do anything or see anyone except online.
00:03:58I actually have been talking to someone online for the past year.
00:04:01Her name is Monica and I was messaging her and telling her I'm sad we have never been
00:04:05able to meet because I think I have a lot of feelings for her.
00:04:08And she told me that she does too and she wants to go with me to Houston and help me
00:04:12do this.
00:04:13And with all of us hoping to leave today, Monica's coming over with her stuff.
00:04:22Hey!
00:04:24Come here.
00:04:29I love you.
00:04:33I've been waiting to see him for so long.
00:04:35And when I finally walked in the door and saw him there, I was pretty nervous, but also
00:04:39really excited and happy.
00:04:41His weight doesn't bother me.
00:04:43I want to be with him.
00:04:45Grab the shirt.
00:04:46No, that's not going.
00:04:47My nerves are all over the place because this is going to take a lot for me and Carlton
00:04:49to do.
00:04:50We've been packing through most of the night and we're about ready.
00:04:54Monica stayed the night with me because she already packed up her whole world to do this
00:04:57and leave.
00:04:59But just having her here with me is making a huge difference for me.
00:05:09I think I'm nervous because it's getting real.
00:05:11I think it's getting real serious to me.
00:05:13I'm in.
00:05:14Suck in on me.
00:05:15All right.
00:05:18This is the biggest leap of faith we've taken in our lives.
00:05:21And me and Chantel are ready to take this on.
00:05:36Chantel is really struggling bad.
00:05:39I'm in so much pain right now.
00:05:41More than I have felt in my entire life.
00:05:56Carlton and Chantel Oglesby called me to tell me they are both in a lot of pain right now.
00:06:02So I told them to come here to the hospital so we can run the test we need to make sure
00:06:06everything is OK.
00:06:07Hello.
00:06:08I'm Dr. Nuzardan.
00:06:09Hi, Doc.
00:06:10Are you Chantel?
00:06:11Yes.
00:06:12OK.
00:06:13Nice to meet you.
00:06:14You doing OK?
00:06:15Yeah.
00:06:16I'm just...
00:06:17I'm numbness in my fingers and my legs.
00:06:18OK.
00:06:19We'll get you in and we're going to check you out real quick.
00:06:20OK?
00:06:21OK.
00:06:22My brother is in the other car.
00:06:23OK.
00:06:24Hello.
00:06:25You've been cooped up in the car, huh?
00:06:26Yeah.
00:06:27I've been prepped up for a while.
00:06:28All right.
00:06:29We'll get you in and check you out.
00:06:30Can you walk?
00:06:31A little bit.
00:06:33Yes, please.
00:06:34You got it?
00:06:35I got her.
00:06:36Come on, baby.
00:06:37You can do it.
00:06:38I got you.
00:06:39Oh, God.
00:06:40All right.
00:06:41You made it.
00:06:42You made it to the chair.
00:06:44Yes, sir.
00:06:45That's perfect.
00:06:46OK.
00:06:47So what's going on?
00:06:48OK.
00:06:49So what's going on?

00:07:00OK.
00:07:01OK.
00:07:02All right.
00:07:03So what's going on with your eating habit?
00:07:04I eat, like, fast food and snacks, and...
00:07:07All right.
00:07:08Who bring you the food?
00:07:09The kids and Michael?
00:07:10The kids and Michael.
00:07:11I just...
00:07:12I eat a lot.
00:07:13I eat constantly.
00:07:14They bring you food or you ask for it?
00:07:15I'll send a text.
00:07:16We got very bad dynamic of household.
00:07:17Everybody is using each other to get what they want, which is food.
00:07:18So y'all ready to make some changes and change your lives?
00:07:19Yeah.
00:07:20Yeah.
00:07:21Yeah.
00:07:22Yeah.
00:07:23Yeah.
00:07:24Yeah.
00:07:25Yeah.
00:07:26Yeah.
00:07:27Yeah.
00:07:28Yeah.
00:07:29Yeah.
00:07:30Yeah.
00:07:31All right, so you ready to make a change?
00:07:32Yeah.
00:07:33You ready to make a change and change your life and be healthy and have a future together?
00:07:34Yes, I am.
00:07:35I'm ready.
00:07:36Because this life isn't good.
00:07:37OK.
00:07:38I'll go get this, and I'll let you see if we can't get your weight down.
00:07:39OK?
00:07:40OK.
00:07:41All right.
00:07:42We're gonna do this.
00:07:43Like, we really gotta do this.
00:07:44All right, baby.
00:07:45All right, take it easy, babe.
00:07:46All right.
00:07:47Man, we really gotta do this.
00:07:49Uh-huh.
00:07:54All right, baby.
00:07:58All right, take it easy, babe.
00:08:04638.
00:08:05Oh, my God.
00:08:06Baby, I can't believe this is on.
00:08:08Damn it.
00:08:09Sorry.
00:08:10Oh, jeez.
00:08:13All right, then.
00:08:18786.
00:08:20Almost 800 pounds.
00:08:23So we have about 1,100 pounds to lose between both of you.
00:08:30It's gonna take a lot to turn around the situation we have
00:08:33with the Oglesby family.
00:08:34And for Chantel and Carton to lose the 1,100 pounds of weight
00:08:38they need to get off of their bodies
00:08:40before their conditions deteriorate any further
00:08:43and their bodies start to give out.
00:08:45Here.
00:08:46We've been in Houston for going on two weeks.
00:08:48After we went to the hospital, when we got here,
00:08:50Dr. Now ran all the tests he wanted
00:08:52and told us we both didn't have any medical emergencies.
00:08:55So there was no reason to keep us there longer in the hospital.
00:08:58And he told us we can go get moved in to our new place.
00:09:01I'm gonna go see what they're making, OK?
00:09:03OK.
00:09:04All right.
00:09:05All right.
00:09:06All right.
00:09:07All right.
00:09:08All right.
00:09:09All right.
00:09:10All right.
00:09:11All right.
00:09:12All right.
00:09:13All right.
00:09:15But he gave us his diet and exercise plans
00:09:18and said that me and Chantel had one month to lose 60 pounds
00:09:21if we wanted to get approved for weight loss surgery.
00:09:24Oh, wow.
00:09:25But it hasn't been easy.
00:09:27And we decided that today is a special day
00:09:29where we're going to get one day off
00:09:31because today is Thanksgiving.
00:09:33So you guys cooking?
00:09:34Yeah.
00:09:35Turkey in the oven.
00:09:36Oh, is it?
00:09:39But we're not going to go overboard.
00:09:41We still have to eat small portions.
00:09:44All right.
00:09:45So everybody get to the table, OK?
00:09:47And we only have two more weeks until our appointment
00:09:49with Dr. Nail.
00:09:50Will we find out if we'll both be able to get
00:09:52our weight loss surgery or not?
00:09:54Me and Carlton know we've already let it go far too long.
00:09:58So we have to do this now before it gets to be too late.
00:10:04Everybody hold hands.
00:10:06Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you, Father God,
00:10:08for letting us have a new start.
00:10:10We're super thankful, Father God,
00:10:12for all the blessings that you've bestowed upon us.
00:10:14Family is everything.
00:10:15We say these things in Jesus Christ's name.
00:10:17Amen.
00:10:25Me and Chantel are at Dr. Nail's to see him
00:10:27and find out where our weights are at.
00:10:30And I think we're both a little anxious
00:10:32since our weight loss surgery depends on us
00:10:34hitting the goal Dr. Nail gave us last month.
00:10:39Carlton and Chantel?
00:10:42When we saw Dr. Nail last month, my weight was at 786.
00:10:45So if I'm at my goal, I need to be below 726 right now.
00:10:49So we'll see if I did that.
00:10:58Oh, man.
00:11:02I thought Carlton would have lost more than that
00:11:04with how we've both been doing the diet.
00:11:06So I'm not sure if that means I didn't lose much either.
00:11:10Because we've both been eating the same foods
00:11:11we thought were healthy.
00:11:15When I had my weight check last, I was 638 pounds.
00:11:18And to be down to Dr. Nail's goal,
00:11:20I have to be under 578 now.
00:11:28I don't understand that.
00:11:30Because we both really want this
00:11:31and thought we were working real hard.
00:11:34What I'm not happy about is your progress over the last month.
00:11:38Because Carlton, you only lost 15 pounds.
00:11:40And Chantel, you only lost 6.
00:11:43You're both not losing the weight you should.
00:11:45So what's going on with that?
00:11:48We're not sure.
00:11:49We thought we were doing better.
00:11:51So, you know, the instruction we gave you
00:11:54when you were in the hospital, was that enough?
00:11:56No.
00:11:57We're not saying that,
00:11:58but maybe we needed a bit more specifics.
00:12:00We had an idea.
00:12:02But we needed a bit more, you know, push.
00:12:06We have to get you to see a therapist
00:12:08to figure out what issue is driving into eating.
00:12:11And then I want to see you back here in two months.
00:12:14And at that time, I want you to lose 120 pounds each.
00:12:18All right?
00:12:19So lose at least 60 pounds a month.
00:12:21Each one of you, okay?
00:12:22We got it.
00:12:23We'll turn it around.
00:12:24I hope so.
00:12:25If you all need anything, let me know.
00:12:36Have a seat wherever you're comfortable, guys.
00:12:44So, Chantel and Carlton,
00:12:46it's so nice to have you guys here today.
00:12:48Tell me a little bit about your lives growing up.
00:12:51There was a lot of, like, abuse and stuff like that.
00:12:53Really?
00:12:54So growing up and the fear
00:12:56and the unpredictability that that creates,
00:12:59in turn, creates a dependence on food
00:13:02because it does provide comfort.
00:13:05Carlton, how do you feel like growing up in domestic violence
00:13:08impacted the sibling relationship between you guys?
00:13:11It made us closer.
00:13:13You know, I was able to rely on my older sister a lot.
00:13:17I'm really happy for the both of you
00:13:19because you have this valuable sibling relationship.
00:13:22However, what you guys can't have
00:13:25is a sense of codependency.
00:13:27Yeah.
00:13:28You each have to be self-focused and self-driven.
00:13:31I agree.
00:13:32I gotta learn to be grown.
00:13:34I just always felt the need to protect them.
00:13:36But he doesn't need protecting anymore.
00:13:38You're right.
00:13:39I'm okay.
00:13:43Okay.
00:13:44Well, guys, I really appreciate
00:13:46the two of you being here today to talk to me.
00:13:48Yeah, thank you.
00:13:49Thank you so much.
00:13:51All right.
00:13:52That was a little harder than I was thinking it would be.
00:13:55I guess I have things I don't want to talk of.
00:13:58Food has helped me avoid that,
00:14:00so I know changing that won't be easy.
00:14:04Me and Chantel are headed back to see Dr. Now again.
00:14:07We worked so hard doing everything
00:14:09Dr. Now and Lola wanted us to do.
00:14:11The big question is if it's enough, though.
00:14:16Let's go.
00:14:17These last two months have taken a lot from me and Carlton
00:14:20because we pushed ourselves to do so much.
00:14:23But I feel like it's been paying off
00:14:25for both of us in a lot of ways.
00:14:28Chantel and Carlton?
00:14:30Yeah.
00:14:31Chantel and Carlton?
00:14:33So I'm excited to see the progress that we both made today.
00:14:36And since I was 632 pounds last time,
00:14:39that means I have to be at 512 today.
00:14:42And I think I have a good chance at that number coming up.
00:14:48Good job, Chant.
00:14:52Good job, Chant.
00:14:54That number coming up fills me with a lot of pride
00:14:57because I know how hard I worked for that.
00:15:01So I'm really happy right now
00:15:03and I'm hoping to see the same for Carlton.
00:15:07I'm really excited about Chantel's results.
00:15:09And I'm hoping for the same thing right now with my weigh-in.
00:15:26I'm really happy.
00:15:29We decided to do this, Tom, with both of us hitting our goal.
00:15:32So I'm really excited about that
00:15:34and I'm really hoping this means me and Chantel
00:15:36will be getting our approvals we hoped for
00:15:38this whole time since we got here.
00:15:41Hello.
00:15:42Hey, Doc.
00:15:43How y'all doing?
00:15:44We're doing great.
00:15:45How about you?
00:15:46I'm doing good, too.
00:15:47All right, so Chantel, you're down to 502.
00:15:51You're almost going to get in the 400s.
00:15:53Almost.
00:15:54So that's great. I'm proud of you.
00:15:56Thank you so much, Doc.
00:15:58So I'm going to go ahead and approve you for weight loss surgery.
00:16:02Good, Chantel.
00:16:03You did it.
00:16:04I'm so excited.
00:16:05Let's see what's Carlton doing.
00:16:08Well, the last time he had 32 pounds, which is very good.
00:16:11So I am going to approve you for weight loss surgery, too.
00:16:14Yeah.
00:16:15That sound good?
00:16:16That definitely sounds good. Thank you.
00:16:19We're doing this.
00:16:20We are doing this.
00:16:21Like, oh my God.
00:16:22We are making a move.
00:16:24Like, both of us.
00:16:28This is a big step for me and Carlton today.
00:16:31So I'm really looking forward to making a lot more progress for Carlton once we get this.
00:16:37All right, you're room right up.
00:16:39I'm very happy with how well they're doing and they're ready to take this next step today.
00:16:44We'll be able to give them both a very important tool with this surgery
00:16:48to help them stay on track and continue to lose more.
00:16:52Let's shake this stomach off.
00:16:54Put that on the table over there.
00:16:56And turn your room right on.
00:16:58Let's close it up.
00:17:00Okay.
00:17:01All finished.
00:17:02Chantel's surgery went very well,
00:17:04so we'll get her to recovery and start Carlton's operation soon.
00:17:08But this is still a very high-risk operation for someone his size.
00:17:12I'm sure that's a problem.
00:17:14I'm sure that's a problem for Carlton.
00:17:16But he's doing well.
00:17:19This is still a very high-risk operation for someone his size
00:17:22because any number of small issues could push his body to a point
00:17:25where they may have to end the operation.
00:17:40Right now, we are attempting to perform a gastric relief on Carlton.
00:17:44Keep pulling, keep pulling, keep pulling.
00:17:46Good.
00:17:48Put that on the table over there.
00:17:50Carlton's surgery went very well.
00:17:52Both of them are doing really well.
00:17:54And I'm very proud of them for how hard they have worked to get to this point.
00:18:06It's been a month since me and Chantel had weight-loss surgery.
00:18:09But now that I'm losing weight and able to move around better,
00:18:13I'm looking to start working some and making a living.
00:18:15And Michael told me I could start helping out with his business
00:18:17and make a little extra money.
00:18:19I'm planning to print out right now.
00:18:21You want me to show you how to do it?
00:18:23Yeah, that'd be great.
00:18:25He makes T-shirts.
00:18:27And so he said he'd teach me how to start helping him out
00:18:29so I can become a part of that.
00:18:31And I'm excited to be, like, learning the family business
00:18:33and start chipping in.
00:18:36I want to start making some cash
00:18:38because the next stage I want to go to
00:18:40in my relationship with Monica is
00:18:43to take her out on some real dates.
00:18:45And that costs money, so I have to start earning it.
00:18:47So, you want to try one?
00:18:49Yeah, yeah. Here, let me try it.
00:18:51All right.
00:18:53That's something I've wanted for a long time.
00:18:55And with my progress, I finally have the chance to start doing that.
00:18:57So I'm excited.
00:18:59And I'm hoping in a few days, I'll have enough to surprise
00:19:01and take her out on our first official date.
00:19:08Tonight, I'm taking Monica out for dinner
00:19:10and trying to show her the good time she deserves.
00:19:13Before we start all this,
00:19:15I didn't have any idea I'd be able to get to this point so soon.
00:19:19It's a fun night, though, right?
00:19:21Yeah, we're actually out here.
00:19:23Right, we're actually out.
00:19:25Yeah.
00:19:27I'm proud of you.
00:19:29You lost so much weight, and now we're actually out here.
00:19:31I know, right?
00:19:33It shows how far you've come.
00:19:35Where do you want to be in a year?
00:19:37I would be going to college, you know?
00:19:39I've been wanting to do that for a while now.
00:19:41Maybe we should both go to college together.
00:19:43Let's do it.
00:19:45Yeah, let's get enrolled somewhere.
00:19:47Let's get a degree. Let's do something.
00:19:49Yeah, I like being out here with you.
00:19:51Me too, honestly.
00:20:01Home treasure going around, baby.
00:20:03Go ahead, baby.
00:20:05The biggest thing my weight has taken from me in the past years
00:20:07is my ability to do things with my kids.
00:20:10So I've missed out on so much with them.
00:20:20And I'm amazed that losing what I have so far
00:20:22has allowed me to be the mom
00:20:24I have always had dreams of being.
00:20:28And I can't wait to do even more
00:20:30because I have so much to look forward to now.
00:20:32Right after our surgeries,
00:20:34Carlton said he felt like it was the first day
00:20:36of our new lives, and I like that.
00:20:39Because we both are leaving our old lives behind.
00:20:41So now we're looking to the future.
00:20:43And I can't wait to see
00:20:45what it has for all of us.
00:20:47I saw a firefly.
00:21:03Hey.
00:21:05Yo.
00:21:07Here, I'll take that out.
00:21:09Don't worry about that.
00:21:11You sure?
00:21:13Yeah.
00:21:23Can you push the chair out for me?
00:21:25Yeah.
00:21:27I'm going to take a break.
00:21:29Oh, hello.
00:21:31Hey, bro.
00:21:33I'm going to go take out the garbage.
00:21:36Oh, look at you.
00:21:38Foray out to the open world.
00:21:40If I don't come back,
00:21:42give the kids my computer.
00:21:44Oh, Lord.
00:21:46Stop being so dramatic.
00:21:48I'm going to accompany you to go take the trash out.
00:21:50Alright, let's go.
00:21:52This morning, Carlton is going with me to take a short walk.
00:21:54It's been two months since he and I
00:21:56had our weight loss surgery.
00:21:58Mostly, Carlton has been helping me
00:22:00take the trash out for his workout.
00:22:02But today, I want him to walk down a block
00:22:05to the fire hydrant and come back.
00:22:07The fire hydrant?
00:22:09That's way too far.
00:22:11I'm not going all the way down there.
00:22:13Open it up for me.
00:22:19Hey, you want to go for a walk?
00:22:21No, I'm out.
00:22:23My back already hurts.
00:22:25My stomach hurts.
00:22:27It's hot and it's too bright.
00:22:29I'm going back in the house.
00:22:31Alright, see you when I get back.
00:22:33F*** that.
00:22:35I got down there.
00:22:37I thought I could do it, but I couldn't do it.
00:22:41I'm proud of you for taking the trash out anyway.
00:22:47I have been trying
00:22:49and mentally telling myself,
00:22:51I'm going to walk.
00:22:53And I got there, and before my body could even
00:22:55try, my mind said no.
00:22:57And I'm so disappointed in myself right now.
00:23:03Dr. Nailn said we should both
00:23:05be able to get to our target weights
00:23:07in the next year,
00:23:09if we stay focused.
00:23:11So that's what we're trying to do.
00:23:15That was hard, but I did it.
00:23:17I knew I could, and I knew that Carlton could too
00:23:19if he had just pushed himself.
00:23:21Our next appointment with Dr. Nailn
00:23:23is in a month.
00:23:25So I know I'm going to have to motivate Carlton
00:23:27by leading him with my example.
00:23:29Because we both need to stay focused.
00:23:32Because we both need to stay on track.
00:23:36If you're doing it, don't get down in the dumps.
00:23:39When he gets really down about himself,
00:23:41it's horrible. I want to help him
00:23:43feel better, but a lot of the times
00:23:45there's not much that I can say to him
00:23:47to get him out of that mood.
00:23:49It's hard for him to love himself.
00:24:02We're here at Dr. Nailn's office.
00:24:04I'm looking forward to hearing that
00:24:06our health has been improved
00:24:08since we first got here,
00:24:10and that
00:24:12our journey is
00:24:14continuing steadily along.
00:24:16No fears, no apprehensions.
00:24:20We both want to make it to our targets
00:24:22in less than a year.
00:24:24And we need to stay on track to do that.
00:24:26I think I will be,
00:24:28but I'm not sure about Carlton.
00:24:31Because he hasn't been active and done his exercises
00:24:33with me like we planned,
00:24:35and there's been lots of days that he ate in his room
00:24:37with his new girlfriend, Monica.
00:24:45I'm just hoping
00:24:47that he's not too far behind me.
00:24:49Because we made a promise to Dr. Nailn
00:24:51to stick through this together,
00:24:53and so I don't want to let him down.
00:24:55Alright, whenever you're ready, go ahead.
00:24:58I was 405 last month,
00:25:00and I'm supposed to be losing
00:25:02at least 25 pounds a month.
00:25:04So that means
00:25:06I should be at 380 today.
00:25:10393.
00:25:16There you go.
00:25:18I'm not as low as I was hoping,
00:25:20but it could be worse.
00:25:22But I'm hoping that Carlton gets some better news
00:25:24on a scale for his turn.
00:25:26Okay, you're next.
00:25:28My turn?
00:25:34I remember that he was at 528 last month,
00:25:36and he said he was supposed to lose 30
00:25:38to get down to 498 today.
00:25:44525.
00:25:46Good job.
00:25:48Yeah.
00:25:50Whenever you guys are ready, you can go to room 5.
00:25:53I can see by the look in my brother's face
00:25:55that he is not happy with that.
00:25:57But he's come a long way,
00:25:59so I'm proud of him for sticking
00:26:01to his diet for the most part.
00:26:03I know that he's still adjusting to Monica
00:26:05living with him in his room,
00:26:07so his focus has been off.
00:26:09So I'm worried that Dr. Nailn might take a stern approach
00:26:11with Carlton to get him back on course.
00:26:23Hello.
00:26:25Hey, Doc.
00:26:27How y'all doing?
00:26:29Doing great. How are you?
00:26:31I'm doing good.
00:26:33So how is life after surgery?
00:26:35Life is amazing.
00:26:37Our mobility is much improved.
00:26:39Our bodies are starting to get
00:26:41to where a normal human body should look like.
00:26:43And we're really grateful,
00:26:45and thank you for helping us.
00:26:47Sure, that's my job.
00:26:49But don't get ahead of yourself.
00:26:52Because, you know, Carlton,
00:26:54you're down to 525,
00:26:56so you lost 3 pounds
00:26:58instead of 30 this past month.
00:27:00And your weight loss almost stopped
00:27:02only three months after weight loss surgery.
00:27:04So you're getting comfortable,
00:27:06and that's the problem.
00:27:08And, Chantel,
00:27:10you're slowing down, too.
00:27:12You are down to just
00:27:14under 400,
00:27:16but you only lost 12 pounds
00:27:18instead of 25.
00:27:20You're doing better than Carlton,
00:27:22but you both are struggling,
00:27:24and it seems like you're both
00:27:26influencing each other still.
00:27:28And I'm very concerned about that.
00:27:30So how is now the dynamic of household?
00:27:32Well, when we first came to you,
00:27:34our relationship was entirely
00:27:36dependent upon food.
00:27:38When we got together,
00:27:40it was to either eat,
00:27:42figure out what to eat,
00:27:44or after we were eating.
00:27:46And now that you've taught us
00:27:48how to have a relationship without eating,
00:27:50now we can truly be brother and sister.
00:27:52Before, I felt like we were both
00:27:54prisoners of our own bad choices.
00:27:56We were just basically enabling
00:27:58each other to just keep eating and eating.
00:28:00And now we're able to be
00:28:02brother and sisters.
00:28:04We can walk together, talk together,
00:28:06help the kids, you know.
00:28:08We can do things outside of just food.
00:28:10We were separated for so long by the steps,
00:28:12so we would FaceTime each other
00:28:14all the time.
00:28:16But now we have a relationship through the phone.
00:28:18So now I can get up and down the steps
00:28:20with ease.
00:28:22I can actually spend time.
00:28:24I can come and watch a movie with my brother.
00:28:26We can talk, and if I need him,
00:28:28I can just come straight to him,
00:28:30or he can come straight to me.
00:28:32So that's something that's really changed with us.
00:28:34So that feels better.
00:28:36Well, so you're walking better,
00:28:38and feeling better, and breathing better?
00:28:40Yes. I don't have my wheelchair.
00:28:42I don't have my walker.
00:28:44Well, I'm proud of you,
00:28:46making it down under 400.
00:28:48When was the last time you were in the 300s?
00:28:50I don't even remember. That's how long it's been.
00:28:52I can't tell you.
00:28:54It won't be under 200,
00:28:56but ideally 180 will be a good weight for you.
00:28:58Okay.
00:29:00So that's going to be what you need to make
00:29:02an effort to get there within 10 months.
00:29:04Okay.
00:29:06With some excess skin removal,
00:29:08you can easily do that if you stay on track.
00:29:10Okay.
00:29:12And you're getting close to being in 400s.
00:29:14And when was the last time you were in 400?
00:29:16I don't even know.
00:29:18My life had spiraled out of control
00:29:20so hard at that point
00:29:22that I couldn't even tell you.
00:29:24But I'm very happy to be out of the 7s,
00:29:26out of the 6s,
00:29:28and to be steadily dropping weight.
00:29:30So I'm super excited to just see
00:29:32the weight getting off from hard work.
00:29:34Okay.
00:29:36But you need to focus and get back on track.
00:29:38So we're going to get you down to 220 pounds.
00:29:40Okay.
00:29:42And that's going to be a good idea of body weight for you
00:29:44so you've got a long way to go.
00:29:46Yeah, a long way to go, but I'm willing to keep walking.
00:29:48That sounds good.
00:29:50I'm glad to hear that.
00:29:52I'm excited to keep losing weight.
00:29:54And I feel like with every step,
00:29:56I can feel that weight loss gone.
00:29:58And I'm just really excited
00:30:00because life is so much better.
00:30:02Good.
00:30:04All right, Chantel and Cartland,
00:30:06hopefully we're going to get you both to your target weight
00:30:08in a year.
00:30:10So keep working hard,
00:30:12increase your activity,
00:30:14eat properly, take your vitamins,
00:30:16and drink plenty of liquid.
00:30:18All right.
00:30:20All right, I'll see you in two months, okay?
00:30:22Take care, okay?
00:30:24All right, thank you, Doc.
00:30:26You're welcome.
00:30:28Let's just keep working hard.
00:30:30I agree.
00:30:32Chantel and Cartland
00:30:34have come a long way
00:30:36in eight months,
00:30:38but they both need to pick up the pace
00:30:40and do better with their weight loss,
00:30:42especially Cartland.
00:30:44I am glad that he feels
00:30:46that their life is getting better,
00:30:48but I think he is overcompensating
00:30:50with what he's saying
00:30:52about how far they both come.
00:30:54To try to distract
00:30:56from the fact they're falling short
00:30:58of the progress they should be making
00:31:00and slipping back
00:31:02into some old habits.
00:31:04So I'm hoping today's appointment
00:31:06helps Chantel
00:31:08get motivated by seeing her
00:31:10slow in progress
00:31:12because they both still have a long way
00:31:14to go to get to their target.
00:31:16So they need to get back on track
00:31:18before things
00:31:20take a bad turn for them.
00:31:26This is going to be a lifelong battle,
00:31:28and it's because of the decisions
00:31:30that I made, you know,
00:31:32only by my decisions
00:31:34can I reverse this damage I've caused.
00:31:36I just have to keep trying and keep working hard.
00:31:40I'm going to go harder this next month,
00:31:42but I'm really going to push Carlton
00:31:44to do better, too.
00:31:46So we both keep losing how we need.
00:31:48I know he already knows that he needs to do better,
00:31:50so I'm not worried,
00:31:52but I know I'm going to have to keep pushing him
00:31:54to work harder and make it to his target
00:31:56in the next 10 months
00:31:58because I don't want him to mess this up
00:32:00again.
00:32:02...
00:32:04...
00:32:06...
00:32:08...
00:32:10...
00:32:12...
00:32:14...
00:32:16...
00:32:18...
00:32:20...
00:32:22...
00:32:24...
00:32:26...
00:32:28Monica, you want some lotion?
00:32:30I accidentally squeezed out way too much.
00:32:32That's a lot.
00:32:34Oh, jeez.
00:32:36It's been a month since we went back to see Dr. Now again,
00:32:38and since then,
00:32:40things have been going
00:32:42pretty well.
00:32:44All right, I'm going to go do a little walking, okay?
00:32:46Okay.
00:32:48You need me to come out there?
00:32:50No.
00:32:52From a physical standpoint,
00:32:54our bodies have been improving.
00:32:56It feels easier to walk.
00:32:58It feels slightly easier to breathe.
00:33:00However, you know,
00:33:02after our appointment,
00:33:04I just kept thinking, like,
00:33:06my sister, she has been trying
00:33:08both physically harder
00:33:10than me and mentally harder.
00:33:12So I'm a little disappointed
00:33:14with myself because I know
00:33:16I can do better.
00:33:18I'm personally, I'm just,
00:33:20my goal is to just work hard.
00:33:22You only got my stamina.
00:33:24I've been walking
00:33:26back and forth because I'm still
00:33:28not comfortable walking
00:33:30outside yet because
00:33:32I'm still wary of people just watching me.
00:33:34And to be honest,
00:33:36I'm always going to be wary of that
00:33:38because of my past.
00:33:40Monica,
00:33:42she's just always telling me,
00:33:44hey, you can do it.
00:33:46Not tomorrow, not next week, today.
00:33:57Oh.
00:33:59I've been expecting you.
00:34:01Hey.
00:34:03What you doing?
00:34:05I'm just doing some laps.
00:34:07Touch this wall,
00:34:09touch that wall is one.
00:34:11You come back, touch this wall,
00:34:13touch that wall is one.
00:34:15Oh, that's good. That's great.
00:34:17I heard my brother down here working out.
00:34:19I just wanted to come down and see him.
00:34:21You know, it motivates me.
00:34:23And it's just I forget, like, what I'm feeling
00:34:25in this world.
00:34:27How do you feel coming down the stairs?
00:34:29I mean, I can hear you.
00:34:31I don't hear you wheezing, so how do you feel?
00:34:33I feel fine coming down the steps.
00:34:35Like, it doesn't feel like a struggle.
00:34:37Like, before, I remember coming down the steps backwards
00:34:39initially because I couldn't get down the steps.
00:34:41Coming down the steps doesn't bother me anymore.
00:34:43Stand up.
00:34:45I haven't seen you in a while.
00:34:47Coming down the steps, like, doesn't bother me.
00:34:49Like, I'm not tired or nothing.
00:34:51Like, I can go up and down.
00:34:53Oh, come on. You look good.
00:34:55Like, I can see it, like, all in here.
00:34:57And I'm proud of you.
00:34:59Proud of you, too, sis.
00:35:01I'm proud of you.
00:35:03So how you eating today?
00:35:05I had some eggs.
00:35:07But that was early in the morning.
00:35:09Let's get some lunch. Want some broth?
00:35:11Yes, I'll have some broth.
00:35:13You want me to get it?
00:35:15Let's do it together.
00:35:17Come on, old lady.
00:35:19I never thought me and my brother would ever be
00:35:21I'm okay with it because it's like
00:35:23I know, you know, all the unhealthy eating
00:35:25led us to almost death.
00:35:27And so I'm never going back to that again.
00:35:29That's dark. Is that the same thing?
00:35:31She said that's in the fridge.
00:35:33Oh, bro.
00:35:37You got two cups or two bowls?
00:35:41Yummy.
00:35:43We're eating most of our meals together again.
00:35:45And that helps us stay determined
00:35:47to make as much progress as we can.
00:35:49We decided that we want to lose
00:35:51just like we did after surgery.
00:35:53So we're doing one or two meals a day
00:35:55as just liquid.
00:35:57That's our strategy now
00:35:59to get back on track and lose a lot.
00:36:03Steven, I know I'm doing well.
00:36:05I want this a lot for my brother, not just myself.
00:36:07I just want this for him so much because, you know,
00:36:09he's come so far.
00:36:11I'm so tired.
00:36:13Eat up.
00:36:15I'm happy to see Carlton trying harder.
00:36:17We're both trying
00:36:19to be better influences on each other.
00:36:21And I actually feel like Carlton
00:36:23has been doing a lot more now
00:36:25because I haven't been feeling well.
00:36:27I haven't been as active for a few weeks now.
00:36:29And that scares me a little.
00:36:31But I'm happy that both of us
00:36:33have made so much progress
00:36:35that we can walk on our own.
00:36:37And I feel like we're supporting each other.
00:36:39So I can't wait to see what progress we have made
00:36:41when we go back to Dr. Nail in a month.
00:36:47See, I'm not going through those roadblocks.
00:36:49Just speed bumps.
00:36:53Carlton and I are on our way to see Dr. Nail
00:36:55so we can find out
00:36:57how much progress we have made
00:36:59since our last visit.
00:37:01The gap between Carlton and me
00:37:03progress-wise isn't much now
00:37:05because I've been feeling
00:37:07nauseous and sleepy most of the time.
00:37:09But I found out why.
00:37:11I'm pregnant.
00:37:13I haven't told Carlton
00:37:15Michael is the only one who knows right now
00:37:17because I don't know what it's going to mean
00:37:19for everything that we're doing.
00:37:21I'm not going to tell Dr. Nail either right now.
00:37:23I just want to wait
00:37:25and get my head around it all
00:37:27and not make Carlton worry about anything else
00:37:29outside of doing what he needs.
00:37:31So I'm not sure how I did.
00:37:33Probably not as well as I had hoped.
00:37:35But I'm still expecting to see some good progress.
00:37:45Chantel and Carlton?
00:37:51Last time I was at 393
00:37:53and it's been two months.
00:37:55And I'm supposed to be losing at least
00:37:5725 pounds a month.
00:37:59So I should be down by 50 pounds
00:38:01to be at 343 today.
00:38:03And I hope I'm close to that.
00:38:05Alright, whenever you're ready.
00:38:07Alright, I'm going to go ahead
00:38:09and get you ready.
00:38:11Alright, whenever you're ready.
00:38:31I feel that's not bad.
00:38:33It's like I thought.
00:38:35Some good progress.
00:38:37But not as much as I'd like.
00:38:39Alright.
00:38:41700, here we go.
00:38:43Yeah, right.
00:38:45I hope Carlton at least
00:38:47has the same results.
00:38:49It will make him feel good to know he's caught up with me.
00:38:51I know he's been working really hard
00:38:53to do better.
00:38:55And I hope that makes a difference today.
00:38:57He was at 525
00:38:59and he's supposed to be losing at least
00:39:0130 pounds a month.
00:39:03So that means he needs to be down to 465.
00:39:09Alright.
00:39:19Alright, whenever you're ready.
00:39:21You can go ahead and go to room 5.
00:39:23Alright.
00:39:25Michael, you go first.
00:39:29Here we go.
00:39:31I'm happy he did better.
00:39:33But I'm really, really nervous
00:39:35Dr. Neal is going to be upset.
00:39:37I felt like I had another down month.
00:39:39So I know Dr. Neal is going to see it
00:39:41as a pattern.
00:39:43I'm really worried that he's going to think that
00:39:45Carlton is not committed.
00:39:47Because he is.
00:39:49And I know he's going to do this.
00:40:01Hello.
00:40:03Hey Doc.
00:40:05We're good.
00:40:07I'm doing okay.
00:40:09Alright.
00:40:11Let's see who's first.
00:40:13Carlton,
00:40:15how's your diet coming along?
00:40:17My diet has been consistent.
00:40:19Just
00:40:21trying to do my best, staying on the colors.
00:40:23Okay.
00:40:25Well, I'm glad to see
00:40:27you improved your progress this time.
00:40:29You lost 19 pounds this month.
00:40:31Which is about 9 to 10 pounds
00:40:33a month.
00:40:35So your weight loss is getting a little better.
00:40:37But you still need to pick up the pace.
00:40:39At your weight,
00:40:41you should be losing 30 pounds a month.
00:40:43So I'm proud of you for working
00:40:45to go back in the right direction.
00:40:47But you need to triple
00:40:49your progress. You understand that?
00:40:51Yes sir.
00:40:53Keep working at it and cut back
00:40:55a bit more.
00:40:57And once you get down another 100 pounds,
00:40:59you're going to have a lot of extra skin.
00:41:01You'll figure out what to do with that, okay?
00:41:03Yes sir.
00:41:05And then Chantel,
00:41:07you're doing a little better too.
00:41:09You lost 29 pounds,
00:41:11which is about
00:41:1315 pounds a month.
00:41:15Which is better than 12, but not much.
00:41:17So keep moving
00:41:19in the right direction.
00:41:21You should be losing 10 pounds a month, okay?
00:41:23Okay.
00:41:25If you lose another 70 pounds,
00:41:27you probably will be ready for skin removal.
00:41:29So make sure that you continue to lose weight.
00:41:31And if both of you
00:41:33apply yourself,
00:41:35you both, in three months, you're going to be able to lose
00:41:37easily 100 pounds.
00:41:39Okay?
00:41:41At this point, you all have a lot of work to do
00:41:43to get to your target weight
00:41:45in the next eight months.
00:41:47But regardless, both of you need to work harder
00:41:49to pick up the pace.
00:41:51Okay? Yes.
00:41:53If you both stick to the diet,
00:41:55then it's going to be very easy for you to do.
00:41:57Okay? Yes.
00:41:59Any questions?
00:42:01No.
00:42:03Michael's sitting back there and just thinking about
00:42:05what you're going to do, huh?
00:42:07Why does this spotlight always on me last?
00:42:09I can't handle it.
00:42:11You both work hard
00:42:13to do better.
00:42:15And make sure you keep working with therapy.
00:42:17And I'll see you all in two months.
00:42:19Nice to see you.
00:42:21All right.
00:42:23If you need anything, give me a call.
00:42:25Okay.
00:42:31I'm glad to see
00:42:33that both Chantel
00:42:35and Carton are losing a little bit more
00:42:37this time.
00:42:39But they are still not making the progress
00:42:41they should, each one.
00:42:43But now the question is, if they both
00:42:45continue to improve their progress,
00:42:47and that's going to come down
00:42:49to influencing each other
00:42:51in a positive way.
00:42:53If they don't do that, this improvement
00:42:55is only going to be temporary.
00:43:03I feel the appointment was good.
00:43:05I was really worried that he was going to be upset.
00:43:07But I know Carton and I
00:43:09need to do better, and my main concern
00:43:11is for Carton.
00:43:13He needs to do better, and he will.
00:43:15I'm going to work harder
00:43:17to make sure I triple my progress.
00:43:19And that's my goal for the next appointment.
00:43:21But Carton's weight loss
00:43:23needs to really improve.
00:43:51The past couple of weeks
00:43:53have been a struggle for me.
00:43:55I feel like I push myself
00:43:57a little too hard.
00:43:59My left knee has been really sore since then.
00:44:01Hey, babe.
00:44:03Hey, honey.
00:44:05That,
00:44:07combined with me not being able to keep up
00:44:09with my exercises right now,
00:44:11has led me to needing my walker again.
00:44:13You ready to eat?
00:44:15Yeah, we still want the table, though.
00:44:17All right, give me a second.
00:44:19Maybe I would have more stamina if I wasn't pregnant.
00:44:21But Carton told me
00:44:23it even got a little too much for him, too.
00:44:25So that made me feel better.
00:44:27You all right?
00:44:29You look like you're out of breath.
00:44:31I am out of breath.
00:44:33You got your head hammered?
00:44:35Oh, baby.
00:44:37From the steps,
00:44:39it scares me.
00:44:41Because I don't want to go back to how it was.
00:44:43That'll do.
00:44:45Okay, honey.
00:44:47All right.
00:44:49Hey, bro, you ready to eat?
00:44:51Yeah, I'm coming.
00:44:53I still haven't told Carton that I'm pregnant.
00:44:55But I know
00:44:57I have to do it soon.
00:44:59I just want him to make as much progress as he can
00:45:01first, in case he loses motivation
00:45:03if he starts worrying about me.
00:45:05But I know my progress is already
00:45:07slipping, and I'm scared that
00:45:09at the next appointment, if my progress isn't
00:45:11good, I'ma owe Dr. Nail and
00:45:13Carton an explanation.
00:45:15So I'm really worried about that.
00:45:17You all right? How you feeling?
00:45:19I feel okay.
00:45:21You know, a little bit.
00:45:23Y'all's a little out of breath from the steps.
00:45:25Yeah. How your legs feel?
00:45:27They feel okay.
00:45:29They feel a lot better.
00:45:31How you doing, Michael?
00:45:33I'm good. How about you?
00:45:35So what do you want to eat?
00:45:37Chef's choice.
00:45:39All right.
00:45:41All right.
00:45:43There's cheese,
00:45:45eggs,
00:45:47spinach.
00:45:49It looks like a nice sunny day.
00:45:51It does, right?
00:45:53These days, I'm gonna make
00:45:55an omelet. Only problem is
00:45:57I can't make an omelet to save my life.
00:45:59Just give it a few more minutes,
00:46:01guys,
00:46:03so the greens can cook with it.
00:46:11This looks healthy.
00:46:13Nothing else healthy.
00:46:17You're welcome, baby.
00:46:19You're welcome, brother.
00:46:21Are you a baby?
00:46:23No, I just don't want to drop him.
00:46:25You can eat your eggs.
00:46:27Fresh, warm eggs.
00:46:29Is it good?
00:46:31Yeah.
00:46:33The cheese make it delicious.
00:46:35You best believe it.
00:46:37I'm pregnant. It's coming soon.
00:46:39I don't want to risk pushing myself too far
00:46:41physically, so I guess I'm just waiting
00:46:43for that right time.
00:46:45I can taste the healthy.
00:46:47Oh, man.
00:46:53I'm feeling a little nervous
00:46:55about seeing a doctor because this has been,
00:46:57you know, a rough two weeks
00:46:59with me not feeling my best,
00:47:01so I'm just hoping that I made enough progress for him.
00:47:03I don't feel anything
00:47:05about seeing a doctor.
00:47:07I don't feel bad or good, but I'm ready
00:47:09to see a doctor.
00:47:11Today's the day I've been worrying about.
00:47:13I think Carlton is going to be better,
00:47:15but I know Dr. Neal is going to be
00:47:17asking me some questions because I had
00:47:19less and less energy the further I get in my
00:47:21pregnancy.
00:47:23I had to tell Carlton that I hurt my knee
00:47:25to explain why I haven't been matching
00:47:27his efforts in our workout.
00:47:29And I've been sticking to
00:47:31my diet in front of him because I
00:47:33want him to stay motivated,
00:47:35and I don't want to be a negative influence
00:47:37on him.
00:47:39Everything that's been going on with me has led me
00:47:41to stress eat some.
00:47:43I know I've given in a few times,
00:47:45but I've been hiding it from Carlton
00:47:47and hiding the fact that I'm eating
00:47:49for two.
00:47:59Carlton and Chantel?
00:48:03Yeah.
00:48:07I'm nervous to get on the scale today.
00:48:11Having to use the walker right now because of my
00:48:13knee has scared me that I'm falling
00:48:15backwards.
00:48:17The timing isn't right for me to share that
00:48:19I'm pregnant yet.
00:48:21Because Carlton is starting
00:48:23to do this on his own,
00:48:25and I'm worried that he's going to start to slip up
00:48:27when I stop doing it with him.
00:48:29So I'm just hoping
00:48:31that I have been able to stay on track this time.
00:48:51We're back at Dr. Now's
00:48:53to see what our progress is.
00:48:55I'm hoping I'm at least on track.
00:48:57I was at 364 last time,
00:48:59and I'm supposed to be losing 25 pounds
00:49:01a month. So if I'm on
00:49:03track, I should be 50 pounds
00:49:05down and at 314 today.
00:49:13I'm really disappointed.
00:49:15I was hoping I had at least some
00:49:17progress, so this is really upsetting.
00:49:19And I feel like I let Carlton down,
00:49:21and I'm going to have to explain
00:49:23that, because I can see that he's a little
00:49:25shocked.
00:49:29I'm worried
00:49:31about the idea
00:49:33that I haven't lost any weight,
00:49:35because I've been adhering to the diet.
00:49:37Literally, I've been
00:49:39eating twice a day. I'm constantly
00:49:41hungry, so if my body
00:49:43hasn't changed, my mentality
00:49:45at least has changed.
00:49:51What?
00:49:53Oh my God, that's great!
00:49:55Oh my God!
00:49:57I told you.
00:49:59Y'all, that is awesome.
00:50:01I'm so proud of you.
00:50:03Seriously.
00:50:07Okay, whenever you're ready.
00:50:13I'm happy to see some better progress
00:50:15with Carlton, but I want
00:50:17both of us to do well.
00:50:23I'm more concerned now about how the
00:50:25appointment is going to go.
00:50:27Even though Carlton did better, I'm still not
00:50:29reaching my goal, and I'm worried
00:50:31Dr. Nail is not going to be happy.
00:50:41Hello.
00:50:43How y'all doing?
00:50:47Doing okay?
00:50:49Yeah.
00:50:51Nobody seems to be very excited
00:50:53today, so
00:50:55let's see what's going on.
00:50:57Chantal, I'm surprised to see you
00:50:59gain some weight. I didn't expect that.
00:51:01So what happened?
00:51:03Do you value your life?
00:51:05Yes.
00:51:07Okay.
00:51:09Are you still trying to even lose weight?
00:51:11Yes.
00:51:13I'm glad to hear that, but it doesn't make sense,
00:51:15because you should have been making more progress
00:51:17then, and it looks like
00:51:19you even have your walker with you again.
00:51:21You're completely
00:51:23going back in the wrong direction
00:51:25again. Do you want to
00:51:27explain to me what's going on?
00:51:29I've been sticking to the diet 100%.
00:51:31So this is the situation that you
00:51:33need to turn around now, because
00:51:35if you don't, you're going to end back up
00:51:37where you were a year ago.
00:51:39It's not that
00:51:41we got magic to make you lose weight.
00:51:43No, it's not that.
00:51:45Give me the tool you need, the road map,
00:51:47but you have to do the work.
00:51:49So everything ultimately
00:51:51is going to be up to you two
00:51:53to make those changes
00:51:55and stick with them.
00:51:57So make sure you get back on track.
00:51:59Okay?
00:52:01I'm glad to see you continue
00:52:03improving with your progress.
00:52:05You're positive, but you still need to
00:52:07keep going and continue to lose
00:52:09more each month, okay?
00:52:11I'm trying.
00:52:13Really trying.
00:52:15He did very well. I'm really proud of him.
00:52:17Any comment from Michael?
00:52:19I mean, it's great.
00:52:21He lost 30 pounds.
00:52:23I only pray that we can
00:52:25do better.
00:52:27Okay, keep working, and let's see
00:52:29if you can get back on track.
00:52:31All right, so I'll see you both
00:52:33in two months again.
00:52:35If you both don't stay focused,
00:52:37you're going to end up gaining your weight back.
00:52:39So you need to help each other
00:52:41to keep working hard, okay?
00:52:43Right, we don't want that.
00:52:45Nice to see you.
00:52:53I am very surprised
00:52:55and almost shocked to see
00:52:57Chantel do almost
00:52:59180 degrees with her progress.
00:53:01The weight gain and needing
00:53:03the walker again does not
00:53:05make much sense to me.
00:53:07So something is going on
00:53:09that therapy may need to get
00:53:11to the bottom of it.
00:53:13Bobby Cartland is doing well
00:53:15and improving his progress.
00:53:17That means that they are
00:53:19at least breaking the unhealthy
00:53:21dynamic they have had with
00:53:23each other. But that even
00:53:25makes it more confusing
00:53:27what's going on with Chantel.
00:53:29If she continues on this track,
00:53:31next time I see her, she could be
00:53:33right back where she started.
00:53:35And if that happens, I'm not
00:53:37sure what more we can do for her.
00:53:43I am happy
00:53:45that Dr. Nail was glad about Carlton's progress.
00:53:47I'm just worried about how
00:53:49my falling behind is going to impact him.
00:53:51So I know I'm going to have to talk to Carlton
00:53:53and let him know what's going on.
00:53:55I'm just worried it could lead to him
00:53:57to stop trying as hard if he gets
00:53:59too focused on me or if I'm
00:54:01not there to keep doing everything alongside him.
00:54:03But with my gain now,
00:54:05there's no more hiding it.
00:54:07I know I have to tell him everything.
00:54:09I'm just worried about how it's going to go
00:54:11and what happens after.
00:54:27Alright, let me pull up the chair for you.
00:54:31Come on, baby.
00:54:33I'm going to slide you in.
00:54:35Alright, you get our tea and drinks.
00:54:37Alright, let me get that.
00:54:39I haven't felt like cooking or making anything.
00:54:41So we've been going out to eat a lot more.
00:54:43I've still been trying to eat healthy
00:54:45but not as strict on things
00:54:47since I'm focused on my pregnancy.
00:54:49Hey, babe. Thank you.
00:54:51I almost didn't find the tops. Oh, really?
00:54:53Yeah.
00:54:55Thank you. Wow, it looks great.
00:54:57Thank you very much.
00:54:59See, I love that. See?
00:55:01It sounds like super fat, but it's not.
00:55:03It doesn't even sound fat.
00:55:05Look at this. It's not so fried chicken.
00:55:07This is a little person meal.
00:55:11After me and Carlton's last appointment
00:55:13about four months ago,
00:55:15I told him I was pregnant and he was upset.
00:55:17Not that I was pregnant,
00:55:19but that I hadn't told him for months
00:55:21and that he felt like he was going to have to
00:55:23keep working on things alone.
00:55:25We were supposed to do this together
00:55:27and this was messing that up.
00:55:29And Carlton's big fear that he told me
00:55:31was that he wouldn't be able to do it on his own.
00:55:33And that upset me because I want to be there for him.
00:55:35Now Carlton is even thinking about
00:55:37moving out with Monica and getting his own place.
00:55:41So how are you feeling right now?
00:55:43I was thinking about
00:55:45my brother.
00:55:47What about him?
00:55:49You know, me and my brother came here together
00:55:51and we diet together and we lost all this weight together
00:55:53and we just so motivated together
00:55:55and we kind of picked each other up.
00:55:57Like, he's my motivation, I'm his motivation.
00:55:59You know?
00:56:01With me not being able to fully be on the
00:56:03200 calories because I'm pregnant,
00:56:05I just want to make sure that my brother doesn't, you know,
00:56:07lose track.
00:56:09Just because we always do everything together.
00:56:11I just want to make sure that he, you know,
00:56:13just because this is like a stepping stone to me,
00:56:15you know, he can go backwards, yeah.
00:56:17He's got to keep pushing forward
00:56:19and doing as well as he's doing, so.
00:56:21Don't worry about him. He's going to be fine.
00:56:23You know it.
00:56:25Right now you need to focus on the pregnancy.
00:56:27Get what you need to do.
00:56:29And then getting back.
00:56:31I plan to go back to Dr. Now
00:56:33after I have the baby in a couple of months.
00:56:35Right now I'm just focused on my family
00:56:37and my pregnancy.
00:56:39So I didn't go back to Dr. Now for my follow-up.
00:56:41Neither did Carlton.
00:56:43I'm focused on what I need right now.
00:56:45And we're both planning on reaching out to Dr. Now
00:56:47once our lives settle down.
00:56:49I think it's going to take a few months for us both
00:56:51to get to that point.
00:56:53I know you got something else on your mind.
00:56:55What's going on?
00:56:57Well, I'm just excited about this baby
00:56:59and get back, you know,
00:57:01onto my goals.
00:57:03I love you.
00:57:05Can I have a kiss?
00:57:07What's up?
00:57:09Nice baby.
00:57:29It has been almost a year and a half
00:57:45since I have seen or heard
00:57:47from Chantel and Carlton.
00:57:49During the pandemic,
00:57:51we set up telemedicine appointments
00:57:53and they didn't follow with me
00:57:55for any of them.
00:57:57So I'm not sure how they're holding up
00:57:59and how their progress has been.
00:58:01Chantel, this is Dr. Now.
00:58:03I was calling you and Carlton.
00:58:05It's been almost a year and a half
00:58:07I haven't heard from you.
00:58:09I'm checking in to see what's going on
00:58:11with you and Carlton.
00:58:13If you're all making any progress
00:58:15and what is the situation.
00:58:17So if you get a discount,
00:58:19please give me a call
00:58:21and let me know
00:58:23and I'll get back to you.
00:58:25Please give me a call
00:58:27and let me know how y'all doing.
00:58:29Hopefully they are doing well.
00:58:31But at this point,
00:58:33I'm not sure I'm going to see
00:58:35or hear from them again.
00:58:37I am mostly concerned about Chantel
00:58:39since the last time she was here,
00:58:41she was heading
00:58:43in the wrong direction.
00:58:45But at this point,
00:58:47she and Carlton could have gone
00:58:49off the rails
00:58:51to undo all their progress.
00:58:53Usually when we can get hold
00:58:55of someone,
00:58:57that is what it means.
00:58:59Hopefully that's not
00:59:01the case, but we won't know
00:59:03unless we manage to get
00:59:05hold of them.
00:59:07So I'm hoping
00:59:09we will be able to do that soon.
00:59:23See, follow all crazy.
00:59:25You know what I'm saying, right?
00:59:27At least we'll know.
00:59:29Chantel finally
00:59:31called me back
00:59:33a week ago.
00:59:35She let me know all that happened to them
00:59:37over the past year and a half.
00:59:39It looked like she got pregnant
00:59:41and she had another baby
00:59:43who is around a year old now.
00:59:45And during that time,
00:59:47she and Carlton
00:59:49had a bit of falling out.
00:59:51And it sounded like they both
00:59:53eventually went back
00:59:55to some old habits over the last year.
00:59:59Chantel told me they both
01:00:01gained weight, but I was shocked
01:00:03to see how much.
01:00:05Can I stand backwards?
01:00:07Yeah, that's fine.
01:00:11661.8.
01:00:17Carlton
01:00:19gained almost 200 pounds.
01:00:33506.8.
01:00:37And Chantel gained
01:00:39135 pounds.
01:00:45They're both still down
01:00:47a few pounds from their starting weight.
01:00:49But they both still gained a lot.
01:00:51So we have them
01:00:53here in the hospital to do
01:00:55an endoscopy to see
01:00:57what the situation is with them.
01:01:01You all right, Chant?
01:01:03How you doing today?
01:01:05So at this point, I'm concerned.
01:01:07They both have been
01:01:09overeating to such a degree
01:01:11that they could have
01:01:13stretched their stomach back out
01:01:15to undo their weight loss surgery.
01:01:17If that's the case,
01:01:19we're going to have to start all over with them.
01:01:23Hi, Chantel.
01:01:25How are you today?
01:01:27I'm all right.
01:01:29So today, we're going to do an endoscopy,
01:01:31which is we're going to give you some
01:01:33IV sedation, and we're going to look
01:01:35down on your stomach
01:01:37and see if you stretch your stomach
01:01:39back out.
01:01:41If that's the case,
01:01:43we're going to need to start from scratch
01:01:45with you.
01:01:47Okay, we'll get you checked out in a few minutes, okay?
01:01:49All right.
01:01:51I'm hoping that my stomach isn't stretched out at all.
01:01:53I'm mainly worried about Carlton.
01:01:57Thank you so very much.
01:01:59I know I'm embarrassed about my weight gain.
01:02:01And he is, too.
01:02:03But he's really been hard on himself because of it.
01:02:05And now that we know how much we've
01:02:07gained, we both want to get back
01:02:09on track. We have come so far
01:02:11and we're still able to be a lot more active.
01:02:13But we're scared we're going to end up
01:02:15back where we were at the start
01:02:17if we don't do something now.
01:02:19So we agreed to come back to see Dr. Nell.
01:02:21Carlton really didn't want to do this.
01:02:23We haven't been as close over the past
01:02:25year, and that's been hard on me.
01:02:27It's been stressful.
01:02:29So the last thing I want for us is to find out
01:02:31that we undid our surgeries.
01:02:33If we have, then I don't know how Carlton
01:02:35is going to respond.
01:02:37Or what's going to happen to us.
01:02:41A few months later...
01:02:51I'm just going to have you open your mouth.
01:02:53You're going to bite down on that.
01:02:55Okay.
01:02:57Ready.
01:02:59And get the light.
01:03:05Deep breaths.
01:03:07We are
01:03:09We are doing endoscopy on Chantelle right now.
01:03:14And so far, it doesn't look good.
01:03:17Her stomach looks as big as ever.
01:03:21After a year of breathing, Chantelle has completely
01:03:25stretched her stomach back out.
01:03:29And here's the stomach.
01:03:34So it looks like she's on track to regain all her weight
01:03:38if something is undone.
01:03:42And that's a hand job.
01:03:47OK, we're finished with her.
01:03:49♪
01:04:07It's unfortunate that she has gone back to her old habits
01:04:11and let this happen.
01:04:15Hopefully, it's not the same with Karkin.
01:04:22But I think it would likely be the same situation with him.
01:04:30Yes, ma'am.
01:04:32Watch your elbow. There you go.
01:04:35Sorry, reckless driver.
01:04:36That would have been my elbow, so thank you.
01:04:40We spared your elbow for sure.
01:04:44All right.
01:04:47You're in good hands.
01:04:48I understand yours.
01:04:51All right, next one.
01:04:55Let me give you the picture first.
01:05:02It's OK.
01:05:03It's not on yet.
01:05:04OK.
01:05:06Tighten up the bite block, OK?
01:05:08I'm going to take good care of you, OK?
01:05:10You'll be all right.
01:05:11It's going to be all right.
01:05:12All right, relax your head back.
01:05:14Lay your head back, Carlton.
01:05:15There you go.
01:05:16Just breathe, ma'am.
01:05:17We got you, OK?
01:05:21How you doing, Carlton?
01:05:24All right, Doc.
01:05:25Ready?
01:05:26OK.
01:05:28Yeah.
01:05:30OK.
01:05:31All right.
01:05:36You ready, Doc?
01:05:37You think so?
01:05:38Oh, yeah.
01:05:39All right.
01:05:40I'm going to give it a try now.
01:05:48Open.
01:05:49Open.
01:05:51Close.
01:05:52Close.
01:05:58Right now, Carlton's stomach is looking
01:06:01about the same as Chantal.
01:06:07He spreads his stomach back out, too.
01:06:13Carlton actually looks like his stomach is bigger than ever.
01:06:18So it isn't a good situation with both of them,
01:06:22but especially with Carlton.
01:06:25Open.
01:06:27Close.
01:06:28Close.
01:06:29And let the hand through.
01:06:32Hand through?
01:06:33Mm-hmm.
01:06:34OK.
01:06:36OK, we are done with Carlton.
01:06:48Hey.
01:06:49We're all finished.
01:06:50Nothing to be nervous about.
01:06:53You all right?
01:06:54We're done.
01:06:56You good?
01:06:58Yeah.
01:06:59All done.
01:07:00You just went to sleep for a few minutes, OK?
01:07:03You guys good?
01:07:04We're done.
01:07:05Good job, guys.
01:07:07Yay.
01:07:08Yay.
01:07:11We're going to have to start from scratch
01:07:13with Chantal and Carlton.
01:07:16They both need Lepan's revision to fix what they have done.
01:07:22Without it, they both eventually are going to regain their weight.
01:07:27You all right?
01:07:28Yeah, I'm all right.
01:07:29You all right?
01:07:30Yeah, I'm all good.
01:07:31I know you're starving, though.
01:07:33Yeah, I guess.
01:07:34But before I'm willing to take that step with either of them,
01:07:39they have to prove to me that they're willing to get back on the program
01:07:44and make the changes they need again.
01:07:47That is not going to be easy because they've both done a lot of damage,
01:07:51and it's going to take a lot of work to turn it around.
01:07:56♪♪♪
01:08:05♪♪♪
01:08:14Dr. Nail, he wants to see me, so I'm a little nervous.
01:08:16And, you know, me being pregnant, like, I'm not really sure, you know,
01:08:19what he's going to say.
01:08:21Girl, this is whatever he says, baby.
01:08:23This is going to be fine.
01:08:25It's just harder to know because, you know, when you lose weight
01:08:28and then you get pregnant, you know, you naturally gain weight pregnant.
01:08:30So it's like I'm just, like, a little nervous to find out.
01:08:35Don't be.
01:08:36No matter what it is, you're going to handle it.
01:08:39You're going to be all right.
01:08:42I'm ready to get back in the game, so I'm not even worried.
01:08:46♪♪♪
01:08:51After me and Carlton's endoscopy, Carlton and me had a big fight,
01:08:56so I couldn't get him to agree to go back to Dr. Nail.
01:09:02He didn't want another surgery and to go through all that again
01:09:05and wants to try and lose weight on his own.
01:09:08So I was just doing the diet and exercises myself,
01:09:11and I made some good progress.
01:09:15But shortly after all that happened with Carlton,
01:09:18I found out I was pregnant again.
01:09:24Dr. Nail convinced me to come back, even if I'm pregnant, for a checkup
01:09:28and to talk about my situation and what the possibilities could be.
01:09:32Chantel?
01:09:34♪♪♪
01:09:41How you doing?
01:09:42Hi, how are you?
01:09:43I'm all right.
01:09:44I love the blue.
01:09:45♪♪♪
01:09:54Good job.
01:09:57I think I probably lost 50 pounds after I saw Dr. Nail,
01:10:01but then I think I started gaining again after I got pregnant.
01:10:07So there's nothing really I can do about that.
01:10:12$4.96.
01:10:13Okay.
01:10:14So the room is ready, and we'll get you back to the room,
01:10:17and I'll let the doctor know you're ready.
01:10:19Okay, thank you.
01:10:21Carlton wants to focus on his life and what he has going on.
01:10:24He and Monica got engaged,
01:10:26so he's busy focused on that step in his life.
01:10:29So I figured it was just all for the best
01:10:32so he could be on his own if he wants and quit.
01:10:34I'm going to keep going on my own then.
01:10:36♪♪♪
01:10:41We're here.
01:10:43Yes, we are.
01:10:45Hey, no matter what, you're doing great.
01:10:48Yep.
01:10:49Pregnant-wise.
01:10:51No matter what he says.
01:10:52Yeah, we'll accept him and keep moving forward.
01:10:54And push forward.
01:10:55Yep, because we know the goal.
01:10:57Yes.
01:10:58Thank you, baby.
01:11:00You're welcome.
01:11:04Hello.
01:11:05Hey, Dr. Nail.
01:11:06Hey, Doc.
01:11:07Doing okay?
01:11:08Yeah.
01:11:09Good.
01:11:10Great.
01:11:11So you're pregnant again, huh?
01:11:12Yes, I am.
01:11:13Well, congratulations.
01:11:16So that will be number 5?
01:11:18Yes, 5.
01:11:19All right.
01:11:20So how is everything going with you?
01:11:22I'm doing okay.
01:11:24So you're about 4 months pregnant,
01:11:27about this point, huh?
01:11:29Yes, Dr. Nail.
01:11:30I will have a new little one in about 5 months.
01:11:32Okay.
01:11:33I lost 50 pounds,
01:11:34but I think I gained again because of the pregnancy.
01:11:37Well, gaining some weight during pregnancy is expected,
01:11:41but not 30 or 40 or 50 pounds.
01:11:44Yeah.
01:11:45So you need to watch your weight like you did last time.
01:11:48Yeah.
01:11:49And make sure that you eat healthy and make good choices
01:11:53and you don't get too much weight.
01:11:55Okay.
01:11:56So I'm going to give you a diet that you can follow during pregnancy
01:12:00so you stick with that diet so you don't gain too much weight, okay?
01:12:04Okay.
01:12:05So you think you can follow that diet and be eating healthy during pregnancy?
01:12:10Yeah.
01:12:11Yes, sir.
01:12:12And keep it up?
01:12:13Definitely, Dr. Nail,
01:12:14because I really want to get healthy and get back on track
01:12:16and do anything you tell me and anything I need to do.
01:12:19She just wanted to finish the family.
01:12:21So after the pregnancy, we're definitely going back into the journey.
01:12:26Well, that's great.
01:12:27So at least you lost some weight since last time.
01:12:30So you need to keep that up.
01:12:32Okay.
01:12:33I'm going to make sure I get back to it.
01:12:35Okay.
01:12:36So how is Carlton doing now?
01:12:38He's good.
01:12:39Carlton's fine.
01:12:40I don't think he's going to do the program anymore.
01:12:42He's kind of going to do his own thing, but he is going to stick to the diet.
01:12:45Him and Monica, they're doing a new life.
01:12:48Do you all still live very close together?
01:12:52No.
01:12:53No?
01:12:54No.
01:12:55He went on, but he is doing well.
01:12:56He's on his own?
01:12:57Mm-hmm.
01:12:58He's on his own.
01:12:59We decided to separate, and I focused on what I need to do.
01:13:02He focused on what he needed to do.
01:13:03Okay.
01:13:04So I wish him well, and tell him I said hello.
01:13:08Okay.
01:13:09All right.
01:13:10So you're going to stick with the program, and you're going to try to lose some weight.
01:13:14I don't know how much I can do until I have the baby, but I'm going to try.
01:13:17Well, you need to keep your weight gain during pregnancy to a proper minimum.
01:13:24And right now, you stick with the diet we give you during pregnancy.
01:13:28But then after surgery, you go back to a 100-calorie diet.
01:13:31And if you show me that you're serious about it,
01:13:34then we'll consider a revision of weight loss surgery for you.
01:13:37Okay.
01:13:38So this will be the plan that you're going to have to show me that you're serious about it.
01:13:42Do you think you can do that?
01:13:44Yes, I do, because I really want to.
01:13:46I wanted to extend my family, but I also know my health is important.
01:13:50I need to get where I need to be.
01:13:52So I pause.
01:13:54I lost weight, but I stopped.
01:13:55But once the baby is gone, I'm 100% going to stick to it, everything you tell me.
01:14:00Okay.
01:14:01So we're going to work and help you to do that,
01:14:04but it is going to be up to you to work hard and do the diet
01:14:08and everything you need to do to maintain healthy weight, okay?
01:14:12Okay.
01:14:13So anything you tell me to do, I'll do.
01:14:15Well, do you think you're going to support her in her weight loss and getting healthier?
01:14:20Yes, sir.
01:14:22So that's going to be a good positive thing that, you know, you're going to have to do this together.
01:14:28And the support that you're going to give her is going to be a very important thing, okay?
01:14:32She got my support 100%.
01:14:34So we're going to exercise.
01:14:36We're going to eat right.
01:14:38We're going to do what we have to do to get to our goal.
01:14:40So that's the plan.
01:14:41She's important to me right now.
01:14:44This is your fifth pregnancy.
01:14:46Are you thinking to have more kids after this?
01:14:49Oh, no, no.
01:14:50You see, we both said no, no.
01:14:51This is it.
01:14:53This is it.
01:14:54Yeah, this is it.
01:14:55So how old is the oldest one?
01:14:57We have 12, 11, 8.
01:15:00One, and then I'm pregnant.
01:15:02Okay.
01:15:03And how many boy or how many girl?
01:15:05Two boys, and now this is a girl, three girls.
01:15:08Three girls, two boys, and three girls.
01:15:10Yeah, I'm in trouble.
01:15:13All right.
01:15:14Well, that's great.
01:15:16And I see that you both work hard to support your family.
01:15:20So the key issue is to stay healthy and be there for the kid to guide him.
01:15:27And one of the things that you're going to be needing to focus on is your health.
01:15:32Okay?
01:15:33And that's going to be the most important thing.
01:15:35You have to be there for them, and you have to take care of them.
01:15:39So this is a great responsibility for you.
01:15:42So follow this diet we're going to give you during the pregnancy.
01:15:46Then after pregnancy, you stick with 1,200-calorie diet.
01:15:50Okay.
01:15:51That sounds like a plan.
01:15:52Okay.
01:15:53All right.
01:15:54All right.
01:15:55So anything we can do for you at this time, let me know.
01:15:58And you are taking your vitamins, too, right?
01:16:00Yes.
01:16:01Okay.
01:16:02All right.
01:16:03Chantel, we're going to do some tests on you, make sure everything's okay.
01:16:06And then after that, we'll let you go, and then we'll see you next time, okay?
01:16:11Okay.
01:16:12All right.
01:16:13So sit tight, and I'll come do some tests on you.
01:16:15Okay.
01:16:16All right.
01:16:17Nice to see you all.
01:16:18Nice to see you, too.
01:16:19And if you didn't think, give me a call.
01:16:21Okay.
01:16:22All right.
01:16:24All right.
01:16:29That wasn't hard, was it?
01:16:31No, that actually went better than I thought.
01:16:33I know, right?
01:16:34Yeah.
01:16:35I think that was very helpful.
01:16:36Just because you're pregnant doesn't mean that you're not going to continue your journey.
01:16:40Yeah, stick to it.
01:16:41You're going to stick to it because I got you.
01:16:43Yeah.
01:16:44You know that, right?
01:16:45Y'all know.
01:16:46I told you I love you.
01:16:47Yes, I love you, too, honey.
01:16:48Give me a kiss.
01:16:49All right, baby.
01:16:52I'm happy to see a little progress and evidence from Chantel that she's ready to get back
01:16:57to doing what she needs.
01:16:59It is unfortunate that she and Cartoon seem to have had fallen out, and that is not for
01:17:04him to continue with the program right now.
01:17:07Hopefully, he changes his mind at some point, and we can help him to turn things around
01:17:13again before he regains all his weight.
01:17:16But right now, that is where he's headed.
01:17:19But at least Chantel seems to be ready to get back on track.
01:17:23I'm proud of the progress she has made over from the start, even with her setbacks.
01:17:29And if she's serious again and sticks with it this time, instead of vanishing for chunks
01:17:34of time, then we can do revision on her a couple months after she has had her baby,
01:17:40and then work with her to get her down to her target weight over the next 18 months.
01:17:45But once again, this is all going to be up to her to make it happen.
01:17:52I'm really happy that I ended up coming to this appointment.
01:17:55I didn't think that the nail would be able to do anything for me while I was pregnant,
01:17:59but I'm happy to know that there's a healthy plan to follow.
01:18:02That's encouraging.
01:18:04And Dr. Nail's willingness to help is encouraging.
01:18:07So I'm ready to start losing again, but not if Cartoon won't do it with me, because I
01:18:12don't want to leave him behind.
01:18:14If I hadn't got pregnant when I did, I think we could have made it.
01:18:18So I have to find a way to convince him to get back on Dr. Nail's program with me now,
01:18:23or we'll both end up back where we started.
01:18:26And by then, it might be too late.
01:18:44Come on.
01:18:45You're too big.
01:18:46I ain't too loud like a big boy.
01:18:49The weather is really, really nice today.
01:18:51It's a nice day to spend some family time together.
01:18:54All right, Royal, watch him on those steps.
01:18:58All right, one step at a time.
01:19:00There you go.
01:19:01There you go.
01:19:02There you go.
01:19:03There you go.
01:19:04There you go.
01:19:05There you go.
01:19:06There you go.
01:19:07There you go.
01:19:08There you go.
01:19:09There you go.
01:19:10There you go.
01:19:11There you go.
01:19:13There you go.
01:19:15Yay.
01:19:16There you go.
01:19:17And he did it.
01:19:18Good job, Israel.
01:19:19Want to play ball?
01:19:20Those say freedom at last.
01:19:23Since my last appointment with Dr. Nail, I've started doing Dr. Nail's diet to do while pregnant,
01:19:28and I'm not gaining right now.
01:19:30The weight gain I was seeing every month has stopped.
01:19:34No.
01:19:35Trey, you want to play?
01:19:36Yeah, come on.
01:19:38It's nice to be able to spend time with my children.
01:19:40Even pregnant is really important to me.
01:19:42Oh, his shoe fell.
01:19:44His shoe is off.
01:19:45Get his shoe.
01:19:46Oh.
01:19:47Josiah's right there.
01:19:49Ow.
01:19:50A couple years ago, I wasn't even able to take one step or a few steps without being winded.
01:19:56I'll catch you.
01:20:01Once I make it, it's such a relief.
01:20:04Hey, bro.
01:20:05Yo.
01:20:06You got any snacks?
01:20:07Yeah, there's a table behind you.
01:20:08I got the good stuff.
01:20:10If I was a better example, maybe he would have ate better.
01:20:15But instead of just destroying my life with food, I'm the reason both of our lives are destroyed.
01:20:21Whoa, don't let the baby go.
01:20:24Why is he running like that?
01:20:25Boy, get back here.
01:20:28Hey, that's cheating.
01:20:30No hands.
01:20:33Before Dr. Neal came into my life, I was counting down the days to my own death.
01:20:37But now I can actually do these things with my family.
01:20:41I'm excited about being able to be more involved in my kids' life and, you know, that they have me as a mother
01:20:46and that they can depend on me and I can do anything that they need me to do for them now.
01:20:52I feel really excited.
01:20:53Like, I just feel grateful to God that I'm alive.
01:20:59I regret the things that happened with Carlton this time.
01:21:03But I'm not giving up convincing him to go back to Dr. Neal.
01:21:07I haven't made much progress because Carlton is planning a wedding.
01:21:11And once they get past all the things they have going on, I'm making it my mission to get them both on track.
01:21:18We have both come a long way.
01:21:20And even though we've had some setbacks, we're still both over 100 pounds down.
01:21:25Oh, dang it.
01:21:26Where you going?
01:21:27I'll tell you.
01:21:28My struggles with food are not over.
01:21:30But mostly I am moving in a good direction.
01:21:33All right, you want to back down?
01:21:34What?
01:21:37Come here!
01:21:44Let's kick it. Let's kick it. Here.
01:21:45Get it!
01:21:46Okay.
01:21:47He's kicking it.
01:21:48Yeah, he's kicking it.
01:21:49He's kicking it.
01:21:50Here, come here, Iz.
01:21:53Look.
01:21:54Look, trust me.
01:21:56My dream was to be able to be a part of my kid's life.
01:21:59He drop it and then kick it.
01:22:01And I'm doing that now.
01:22:02So I feel grateful every time I'm able to walk out the door with him.
01:22:06You want to go?
01:22:09You having fun?
01:22:10Yeah!
01:22:12You having fun?
01:22:16It's been a very rough journey.
01:22:18You know, Chantel has come a long way and it's been hard, but it's a blessing.
01:22:24Spending time with the kids has always been our dream.
01:22:28You know, just raising our kids, watching them grow, play with them.
01:22:33So I believe when she's done with her pregnancy, then she can continue her journey.
01:22:41It's getting dark, so you think it's time to go?
01:22:43I think about to, yeah.
01:22:46What are you doing?
01:22:51Y'all tired?
01:22:52Y'all tired?
01:22:53Yeah.
01:22:54Y'all ready?
01:22:55Yeah.
01:22:56Yeah, we losing the sun.
01:22:57It's getting dark, so I think we should go.
01:22:59But can we get some ice cream?
01:23:01You want ice cream?
01:23:02Yeah.
01:23:03Okay.
01:23:04Alright.
01:23:05I got it.
01:23:06You got them?
01:23:07Ice cream.
01:23:08The difference now is that I'm excited about finally getting to do so many things I've never been able to do before.
01:23:13So I feel better about myself now.
01:23:15Could y'all help your mama, please?
01:23:17Come here.
01:23:18It's happening slowly, but it is happening.
01:23:21One, two, three.
01:23:26And I'm going to stick with it until I succeed at becoming more of a wife and mother I've always wanted to be.
01:23:32You going to get the kids ice cream?
01:23:33Yeah, I'm going to get some ice cream for y'all.
01:23:35Woo!
