S08.E03: Bethany's Story LIVE CHAT

Before the surgery, she was eating nearly non-stop, and gaining.  Now her stomach is 90% smaller, but she is still gaining.  she must be eating truly non-stop, every waking moment.

Either that, or there really is some completely different problem. The production company must be tearing their hair out about not getting any "I just have the occasional small cheat day" footage out of her.

This is true. She might not can control depression but she could accept treatment. She seems very resistent.

Sometimes it is easier to stay in your safe depression cocoon and wallow.  I know at times, when my depression was really bad, it was a loop of wanting to not feel so awful, but being resistant to actually acknowledging how bad it was. And the depression became part of my identity. Who was I if I was no longer the depressive person I had become used to being?

Also good. I've also baked eggs in half an avocado, hold the toast.

[Callaphera]

She looks bigger. 

[preciousperfect]

Can that chair hold her I’m impressed. 

[SunnyBeBe]

Oh...that's the problem. He's not listening to her....lol.

[Ivylady]

Seriously, what's wrong with Sheldon? He's literally wasting away. 

Bethany has regained all the weight, it seems. No one understands her struggles, y'all. It's all the surgery's fault. 

[MelissaMinion]

The endoscopy went....well? Dr Now didn’t find any problem? Wait, no. The fact that he had to even do the procedure means something is wrong. 

 

Yep, her narrative is that the surgery was flawed.

[dreadfulLeigh]

They should really do a special research study on those people that have 90% of their stomach removed and still don’t lose weight. Especially or not at least in the beginning.

Oh how I wish that was the case in my house.  Mr. Judgey’s knowledge (and DVR space) of shitty tv shows is huge.  If it’s about some idiots looking for gold/treasure, doing “illegal” street racing, or making stupid shit like moonshine or swords, he’s gonna watch it.

My husband watches police procedurals, Hallmark Channel movies, and since my brother starting living with us, the Golf Channel.  He does not golf.  What a strange worlds we live in.

I saw chili cheese dog on the chalkboard. Nom nom. 😋

Chili AND side salad? Isn't that too much food for this soon after surgery?

What? He's not watching quality shows like us??

I love avocado toast but I like it for supper. On wheat toast with a squeeze of lime, grape tomatoes and salt and fresh ground pepper. Yum. 

[Guest]

SHE IS THE WORST! 

It is NOT difficult to go out to eat and find something healthy! 

What a waste of space.

[DropTheSoap]

Anyone who knows better than Dr. Now is going to fail. It is known.

[Ivylady]

Uh oh, the dreaded "figure it out myself". Bethany, you haven't fixed or changed shit. Go on and quit the program, you useless bitch. 

[Hellga]

She truly did expect a magic bullet.  And now she is going to do it her own way... who wants to bet she will be up 200 pounds in a year?

I think I have a bit of this going on; I've been thinking about it lately but was having a hard time putting it into words. So thanks for that (I think...). Sometimes if I'm in an especially good mood and someone comments on it, it makes me feel really uncomfortable, like...that's not right...?

-----

She's not getting the tools she needs, folks. So she's quitting.

[Callaphera]

She doesn't plan on continuing with Dr. Now's program but she hopes he understands. 

BWAHAHAHAHA

[umgoblue]

I'm sorry, but why is she eating out?  They better show what she is ordering.

I am judgey. She ordered a side salad, TOO?  How about only?

She is buttering the bread...nothing is going to help.

Start by not BUTTERING the bread...ya think?

[Guest]

LOL "I don't plan on continuing with this program."

Ummm...well you never actually STARTED it. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

I'm so sick of that mustard yellow top.   The husband is looking worse every time they show him.    

She's not letting Dr. Now down, she's letting herself down, and her family.    She never even tried, did she?    Someone else who wanted to change could have taken her spot.  She's so selfish,.

[Kid]

Shut the fuck up, Bethany!!  God, what a whiner!! You ALREADY failed!!!

Exactly what tools does she need that she did not get?!  She is disgusting.

[materialgirl101]

She really thought the surgery was going to do all of the work. He expectation of what the surgury was going to do is mind boggling. 
 

 I cannot stand her. Her voice is grating. 

[umgoblue]

Not continuing?  She hasn't started...

[SunnyBeBe]

I wonder if she's one who will die....too stubborn to survive.

[Caoimhe]

He had it right the first time she walked in, that she wanted the magic pill and now it’s “too hard” she is quitting.

[Minivanessa]

The weight loss surgery isn't working like she expected. So she's quitting Dr. Now's program.

She's so screwed up.

And now she's quitting. She's afraid she'll let Dr. Now down. These bishes all feel like they're doing Dr. Now a huge favor. HE'S TRYING TO HELP YOU. YOU ARE NOT DOING THIS FOR HIM. HE'S DOING IT FOR YOU!

[7EasyPayments]

The surgery is not an appetite suppressant, DUMBASSSSS !!!!

[babyhouseman]

Her diploma needs to be revoked. 

[Hellga]

This is what I have to do.  Meaning - eat a shit ton of brownies to make me feel better because it's sooo hard to pretend to eat well?

[mmecorday]

No, she doesn't understand. Her children are very soon going to know what it's like to live life without a mother.

[Pepper Mostly]

"Bye Dr. Now. Gotta go, pizza's here"

[hoosiermom]

See ya'll next week for more snark. Hope it's not so sad.

[Guest]

"I'm gonna find another way." 

Spoiler alert: You will NOT.

[SunnyBeBe]

Well she inspired me to eat my yogurt and apple slices. Yummy.

[Callaphera]

And we end right back where we started. Crying in her chair, waiting for the pizza guy.

[Yolo]

Goodnight to you all!!😉

[Ivylady]

It's been fun, y'all. See you on the 1,000 lb sisters forum.🤣🤣🤣

[DEG9]

"No matter what it takes?" Really? 

The delusion is strong in this one.

[OoogleEyes]

Wow. She is pathetic. 

Good night, Pounders!

[Hellga]

I am almost tempted to start up a business catering to delusional people like her.  Extremely unethical, but oh so evilly satisfying!

Off to see if I can stand another episode of 1000 pound sisters...  Have a good night, everyone! 

[Seasick Cecil]

She's going to keep trying no matter how hard it is . But she just told Doctor now it's too hard 

[umgoblue]

She is not getting what she needs because she thought WLS was really continuous lipo suction...hmmm

[MsVixen]

Bye Y'all.  Got to get out of here before those 1000 pounds Sisters come on!

[Ivylady]

I don't know what it is yet. But there's another way that involves no effort from me. I'm sure of it. 

[DropTheSoap]

Keep looking for that other way in the bottom of a bag of chips, Bethany. If it's not in that one...maybe it's in the next.

[aliya]

"No matter how hard it is or what it takes."   What it takes is for you to listen to Dr Now, follow the plan, and stop eating so much. But noooo... well, let's see what doing it your way gets you.
