00:05:40have on me now I'm still able to do some basic things myself like cleaning have so many areas you
00:05:53have to keep clean I get out of breath and it's eating is the only thing to bring me to
00:05:58pleasure that I want is what I look for give me my first meal of the day they know what I like and
00:06:03they just bring it to me come here hey I'm here to bring the chicken when they bring me what I want
00:06:09so you mean to tell me you're gonna eat all this chicken you want it I don't want to hear all that
00:06:13plus when I'm eating it helps me forget me a piece of chicken do you want a piece of chicken

00:08:29direction got it okay it definitely had me feeling so nervous like this but I'm trance down to at least
00:08:38543 and I'm worried there's going to be a focus for Dr. Nile you know hi Dr. Nile
00:08:45so Irene it doesn't look like you're using five pounds and means you haven't tried that hard
00:08:50so what's your your health and meals our biggest problem is that I can't be with her 20 this is
00:08:56all up to you yes I do you wish being a better mom being a mom is very important to me because I
00:09:03need to be here over them and your health you get that yes and I do want to try and exercise is or
00:09:09we're not moving ahead with you you got that
00:09:11what do you want to like just some garlic powder and because of the pandemic
00:09:20you know I'm going to have to wing it with the broccoli too
00:09:23very hard not to eat for comfort honestly mom I believe that I'm feeling lonely depressed and
00:09:29stuff like that but recently I have to get better so if Dr. Nile says I can continue again
00:09:36you ready to work at it yes I hand me the weights my best but I really am ready to do whatever it
00:09:43takes I have a video card with Dr. Nile today to see if it's I've been struggling I don't think I
00:09:50made as much progress to be honest with the press having to be home this long with the pandemic
00:09:54but now I just want to get and you say that every time what did come in with almost no problem
00:10:00and I just want a second chance to do what I have to do with my life I'm ready to do whatever it
00:10:06takes I'm gonna do it this time bye Dr. Nile I feel like I'm ready to take a big step for myself today
00:10:15a trainer at a public place hi Nile Irene how are you my hands are cold I'm sorry it's okay
00:10:23trainer but I haven't felt physically or mentally ready for that and now super girls whatever I
00:10:29have to do to advance I'm ready to do it see not too scary right let's punch your face just not on a
00:10:36diet so I feel like I'm making my arms above your head you're gonna aim this is gonna go behind your
00:10:43head so bend those out you got your heart rate going okay okay it's gonna get you conditioned to
00:10:50breathing I'm great okay but I feel good so I know that means I'm getting a good workout so I feel
00:10:59good and getting further towards where I want to be and I know I need to do it for me with Dr. Nile
00:11:09and we both feeling confident about my progress Irene and if I lose this chance then leave my life
00:11:22is dependent on this around 540 if I want to advance come on I'm feeling very now with my progress and I'm
00:11:33very hopeful that this means I could fully how are you I'm doing okay how y'all doing good that's great
00:11:41it only took you a little bit over a year fair enough but in spite how long it took I am proud of you
00:11:47for once with being at home I thought I lost my chance of going to surgery and got another chance no
00:11:53matter what I have to take it so I just couldn't okay so it took the pandemic to wake you up
00:11:59see she got the results great well I mean
00:12:04hard work we put in we put in totally hard work pays off oh yes but here's the situation
00:12:11and I think surgery may not be feasible for a little bit longer don't you think it would take
00:12:17because I wasn't expecting to have to keep me and at least lose something reasonable like 10 pounds a
00:12:23lot under that I can do that dr. now definitely I come this far salad let's get it house so having
00:12:37more room has made my life easier me cameos help stay on track with my diet so she and my last
00:12:48appointment with dr. now he told me I have to keep or he will cancel it so we are determined to make
00:12:55sure that doesn't go let me get you some water you're welcome so you got some energy now you want
00:13:02to go get some fresh air I usually try to force myself to do the power walk down it's not so hot out
00:13:10here I need to push myself more to do active things because my we shouldn't be taking any chances and I
00:13:19need to take your time to take your time ain't no rush just take your guess to be enough so I go back
00:13:30this next time almost home
00:13:34well that's not too bad to check my weight at home finally arrived I thought having that is coming
00:14:00gone because I needed to lose 30 pounds by then my surgery dr. now won't approve me because I'm not
00:14:07losing to get the surgery and help get this weight off dr. now told you that I'm determined to keep
00:14:15losing we'll see I mean I like I really like spinach but seeing Isaac make the healthy choice new you know
00:14:26now it's not the bacon the egg it's going to energize you so how are you feeling with your weight I work
00:14:32the program more amount of weight that he does have oh I think he's just scared that he's going to gain
00:14:38everything his his doubtfulness comes in but I know he has just hope dr. now is happy
00:14:45I don't want to go don't lie right
00:14:50today cameo I think I'm doing well my hope
00:15:08thank you step up on the scale and I'm supposed to lose a
00:15:16on the last seven pounds but I'm glad I lost it change my eating habits and I feel like I'm ready
00:15:27for my sir okay all right so Irene and in past two months I was expecting that you do I know I'm I'm
00:15:41focused on getting a surgery and doing what I lost a three to five family each month mm-hmm
00:15:47yeah 56 pounds right well so you only lost seven and in last two so you need to do more to lose at
00:15:59least 10 pounds a month beginning that we have seen you and before to go with you're going to be over
00:16:05100 pounds that we asked you to lose to qualify for if you do that then we're going to prove you for
00:16:10weight loss surgery yes sir okay yes I'm sure if you lose that 30 pounds we're going to be going to have
00:16:16to try harder and stick to your diet okay I look forward to seeing that okay and then see if we can
00:16:25hit that goal and so if you do that bye bye bye bye and cut back on her eating habit as much as it seems
00:16:36so the next few months will be pivotal for her because I need if not we won't be moving ahead with her
00:16:43at least I still have a complete timeline taking me towards my weightless approval
00:17:00seeing doctor now today I'm nervous about what he's going to say just take what he say and the advice
00:17:07I said he got hit I'm back at doctor now's with my friend with my skill at home and I've been able
00:17:18to lose 20 pounds for surgery even though it's not the 30 pounds I was supposed to lose
00:17:23I was 5 39
00:17:35why didn't you
00:17:40since I weighed myself at home and I thought I was down 20 pounds and I'm just really worried about
00:17:46what doctor now is going to say about this good that's good well Isaac nice to see you again any
00:17:52problem uh no for the most part well nice to meet you nice to meet you all right so then get your
00:18:00surgery but it looked like you gained four percent my skill um at home it says that I was 20 pounds
00:18:06lighter I don't understand it's home scale they're not accurate but and that accurate that's why we want
00:18:14you to come here try to only eat three times a day well what do you mean tribes yeah so how many
00:18:22time you actually eat as if you're probably eating more than you realize it's you need to stick with
00:18:29the program and trying to do that two months okay okay and if you stick with the doctors and try to lose
00:18:37weight you think you can do that for two months from now and you follow the same deal being at home
00:18:44and I should tell you that you going in one if you're able to lose that weight we go ahead with
00:18:50surgery if not it's nice to see you again nice to see your family and said hello weight loss surgery
00:18:57okay thank you so much doctor now at the meantime welcome
00:19:03I'm very deserve surgery for someone it's motivating to get them to where they need regardless
00:19:09what he has shown me is that he can apply him but I'm hopeful this will only be a moderate
00:19:16weight loss surgery in a couple months now but I'm glad I still have a chance at surgery
00:19:23I'm also glad because after everything I've been through I don't want my life to slide backwards again
00:19:28and I think I've been doing really well but I'm doing everything I can record we haven't really

00:42:18meals our biggest problem is that I can't be with her 20 this is all up to you yes I do

00:42:29over them and your health you get that yes and I do want to try and exercise this or we're not
00:42:35moving ahead with you you got that
00:42:42what do you want it like just some garlic powder and because of the pandemic you know I'm going to
00:42:47have to wing it with the broccoli too very hard not to eat for comfort honestly mom I believe

00:42:58if doctor now says I can continue again you ready to work out it yes I hand me the weights
00:43:05my best but I really am ready to do whatever it takes
00:43:08I have a video card with doctor now today to see if it's I've been struggling I don't think I made as
00:43:16much progress to be honest with the prayers having to be home this long with the pandemic but now I just
00:43:21want to get and you said that every time but you come in with almost no problem and I just want a second
00:43:26chance to do what I have to do with my life I'm ready to do whatever it takes I'm going to do it this time
00:43:33hey bye doctor now I feel like I'm ready to take a big step for myself today a trainer at a public place
00:43:44hi nes irene irene how are you my hands are cold I'm sorry it's okay trainer but I haven't felt
00:43:51physically or mentally ready for that and uh super girls whatever I have to do to advance
00:43:56I'm ready to do it see not too scary right let's punch your face it's not on a diet
00:44:03so I feel like I'm making my arms above your head you're gonna aim this is gonna go behind
00:44:08your head so bend those out you got your heart rate going okay okay it's gonna get you conditioned
00:44:15to breathe in I'm great okay but I feel good so I know that means I'm getting a good workout so I feel
00:44:25good and getting further towards where I want to be and I know I need to do
00:44:33forming with Dr. Now and we both feeling confident about my progress Irene
00:44:43and if I lose this chance then leave my life is dependent on this around 540 if I want to advance
00:44:52I'm feeling very right now with my progress and I'm very hopeful that this means I could fully
00:45:01how are you I'm doing okay how y'all doing good sorry that's great it only took you a little bit
00:45:09over a year fair enough but in spite how long it took I am proud of you for once with being at home I
00:45:14thought I lost my chance of going to surgery and got another chance no matter what I have to take it
00:45:20so I just couldn't okay so it took the pandemic to wake you up see she got the results great well
00:45:28Irene
00:45:29this is about to tell all this hard work we put in we put in totally hard work pays off oh yes but here's the
00:45:36situation and I think surgery may not be feasible for a little bit longer how do you think it would
00:45:42take because I wasn't expecting to have to keep me and at least lose something reasonable like 10 pounds
00:45:49a month I can do that doctor now definitely I've come this far
00:45:53salad yes let's get it house so having more room has made my life easier need cameo's help stay
00:46:07on track with my diet so she
00:46:13at my last appointment with doctor now he told me I have to keep or he will cancel it so we are
00:46:19determined to make sure that doesn't hurt let me get you some water
00:46:25you're welcome so you got some energy now you want to go get some fresh air
00:46:30I usually try to force myself to do the power walk down it's not so hot out here
00:46:37I need to push myself more to do active things because my god we shouldn't be taking any chances
00:46:44and I need to how you feel I'm okay take your time just take your time ain't no rush just take it
00:46:53I guess to be enough so I go back this next time I'm almost home
00:47:14well that's not too bad to check my weight at home finally arrived
00:47:24I thought heaviness has come and gone because I needed to lose 30 pounds by then my surgery
00:47:30doctor now won't approve me because I'm not losing to get the surgery and help get this weight off
00:47:36doctor now told you that I'm determined to keep losing
00:47:40we'll see I mean I like I really like spinach but seeing Isaac make the healthy choice new
00:47:50um you know now it's not the bacon the egg it's going to energize you so how are you feeling um with
00:47:56your weight I worked the program more amount of weight that he does have oh I think he's just scared
00:48:02that he's going to gain everything his his doubtfulness comes in but I know he has just hope doctor now is happy
00:48:10I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna skill don't lie right
00:48:28today cameo I think I'm doing well my hope
00:48:33thank you step up on the scale and I'm supposed to lose
00:48:45only lost seven pounds but I'm glad I lost it
00:48:49changed my eating habits and I feel like I'm ready for my surgery
00:48:53okay yes we're doing okay all right so Irene and in past two months
00:49:03I was expecting that you do I know I'm I'm focused on getting the surgery and doing what I lost
00:49:10three to five pounds each month 56 pounds right well
00:49:17so you only lost seven pounds in last two so you need to do more to lose at least 10 pounds a month
00:49:25beginning that we have seen you and before the COVID you're going to be over 100 pounds that we
00:49:31asked you to lose to qualify for if you do that then we're going to prove you for weight loss surgery
00:49:36yes sir okay yes I'm sure if you lose that 30 pounds we're going to be going to help you try harder
00:49:43and and stick to your diet okay I look forward to seeing that okay and then see if we can hit that
00:49:51goal and so if you do that bye bye bye bye and cut back on her eating habit as much as it seems
00:50:01so the next few months will be pivotal for her because I need if not we won't be moving ahead with her
00:50:08at least I still have a complete timeline taking me towards my weightless approval
00:50:25seeing doctor now today I'm nervous about what he's going to say
00:50:29uh just take what he's saying and the advice that he got
00:50:39I'm back at doctor now's with my friend with my skill at home
00:50:43and I've been able to lose 20 pounds for surgery even though it's not the 30 pounds I was supposed to lose
00:50:49I was 539
00:51:00why didn't you
00:51:05since I weighed myself at home and I thought I was down 20 pounds and I'm just really worried about
00:51:11what doctor now is going to say about this good that's good well Isaac nice to see you again any
00:51:18problem uh no for the most part well nice to meet you nice to meet you all right so then get your
00:51:26surgery but it looked like you gained four percent my skill um at home it says that I was 20 pounds lighter
00:51:32I don't understand it's home scale they're not accurate but and that accurate that's why we want you to come here
00:51:42try to only eat three times a day well what do you mean trots
00:51:46yeah so how many times you actually eat as you're probably eating more than you realize
00:51:53you need to stick with the program and try to do that two months okay okay and if you stick with the
00:52:01that is and try to lose weight you think you can do that for two months from now and you follow the
00:52:08same deal sitting at home and it should tell you that you going in one if you're able to do that
00:52:15weight we go ahead with surgery if not it's nice to see you again nice to see your family has said hello

00:52:42surgery in a couple months but i'm glad i still have a chance at surgery i'm also glad because after
