In an upcoming episode of TLC’s hit series ‘1000-Lb. Roomies’, 42-year-old Jazmin “Jaz” Wallace is making significant strides in her rehabilitation. The latest clip, revealed by PEOPLE, showcases her determination as she embarks on an intensive inpatient physical and occupational therapy programme at Ballard Rehabilitation Hospital.
Following guidance from her physician, Dr. Sarvenaz Nouri, Jaz’s admission into the rehabilitation facility marks a crucial step towards her goals of weight loss and improved mobility. Her commitment to standing and walking independently has led her to face the rigours of an intense rehab schedule. “I’ve been in inpatient rehab now for a few days and it’s hard as hell. I didn’t have no idea that it would be this intense. It shocked the s— out of me,” Jaz candidly expresses.
Throughout her therapy sessions, Jaz engages in a variety of exercises aimed at strengthening her body, including routines for her core, legs, hips, and ankles. Despite her exhaustion, Jaz acknowledges the slow but steady progress she is making. “I am making progress but it’s slow,” she admits, revealing the immense physical and mental labour involved in her recovery process.
Her physical therapist offers some encouragement, noting that Jaz’s fatigue is a by-product of her increased efforts. However, the journey is not without its challenges. Jaz candidly shares her feelings of frustration, saying, “I want to give up a lot of times. That’s that self-sabotage s— that I do to myself.”
Adding a personal touch to her journey, Jaz updates Brandon, a new romantic interest, about her situation through a text exchange. Despite having to postpone their second date due to her rehabilitation commitments, Brandon’s response is overwhelmingly supportive. “THAT’S WHAT’S UP! I love that!” he replies. “I’m so proud of you!” Jaz reflects on their frequent conversations and Brandon’s encouragement, noting that his support holds significant meaning for her during this challenging time.
“I have a lot of s— ahead of me right now, so I’m going to need all the support I can get,” Jaz states in a confessional segment. “We don’t have time to sit around and throw a pity party. We’re not doing that no more.” This mindset illustrates her commitment to forging ahead, despite the hardships that lie ahead.
