Anyone watch Ruby on the style network?



Recommended Posts

I watched the premier episode this morning on the style network. It is about a woman who is struggling with weight loss and her journey to get healthy. She is 487lbs and from Georgia. It was a pretty good show. Just wondering if there are any other Ruby fans out there in Lap Band land. :(

Yes, I watched and enjoyed the show.

I had few questions like why they didn't talk about a CPAP machine or WLS and what is the REAL story on the nephew? He had to get a GED and move in with Ruby because his parents got a cat? Umm .... I don't think so. Maybe he's in a relationship with Ruby's roommate? I think he's gay.

If you want to see some WLS bashing - visit the RUBY forum on mystyle.com.

I read where she is getting healthy through exercise and they have her on a specific diet program that is out of Georgia. I know she doesn't want WLS but she isn't bashing it are you talking about people just chatting on a forum there?

Yes, people chatting in the forum.

Ruby has stated that she will never have WLS but she doesn't bash WLS.

I read that the show was taped in the spring and she's already lost 100lbs!

I really like this show alot.

I also am happy with who they chose for the show. She is pretty and funny and seems like a genuinely real person. This is so much better than just finding someone who fits the "stereotype."

I look forward to watching it more in the future.

I think the show was made for her - not that they had an idea and went out and found a fat person to star in it.

Her LA friend Brittany Daniels is a famous actress and she has something to do with the show. I think she's a producer.

I've seen a couple of the shows. I saw the one where her ex-boyfriend came to see her. I enjoyed the shows and I agree, she seems like a genuine person.

I'm rooting for her to rock it!!

I think I've already watched every eposide twice. Talk about a 'real' person. So nice & her face is just pretty.

I too cannot wait to see her success... she is rocking it!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
