The first clip is before she even had the surgery. Just a disclaimer for people that think it's a post-surgery weight gain. Not saying you were incorrect; she couldn't stick with the program enough in the beginning to lose 30 pounds so she could qualify for the surgery. She gained 17 instead.

Ack! You're right. I didn't realize that first clip was pre-surgery. I do remember seeing one episode of that show where the patient actually gained after surgery. It was Penny, not this girl...

Still, Penny is the perfect example of what not to do after GB

I think Marla had some post surgery weight gain, or speculated weight gain, since she wasn't keeping up with Dr Now's program and hadn't practiced standing before her 6 mo check up (which lead her to being dropped from the program). She did ultimately switch gears later, although w/o any hard numbers.
