Oh, God...here come the carbs again.

[Guest]

A POUND OF PASTA AND A BUTTERED ROLL?!

[aliya]

Shoot  - I got involved in coronavirus discussion on reddit and missed why she didn't get the surgery. What was wrong? I thought Dr Now would let her slide on the weight; wasn't she pretty close to his goal?

[StitchPunk]

Is she giving up?

[dreadfulLeigh]

She’s rubbing that butter on that bread like “it puts the lotion on the skin”

[ams1001]

My medical issue is delaying my surgery so I'mma eat a big pile of pasta and bread.

And cheesecake. (That looks like a Cheesecake Factory container. They are consistently high on the Eat This Not That lists of worst restaurant meals.)

In three to six months, she'll have lost enough weight to not need WLS anymore. 

Also, isn't IBS diagnosed with a colonoscopy and not endoscopy?

You're thinking too much !!! 😉

I worked with a pediatrician who didn't know she was pregnant til she was 7 months along. It happens.

My grandmother said the same thing but she was crazy so ...

My real life cousin that I actually know and is not an urban legend didn't know she was pregnant until her son was crowning. Her water had broken during the night, and she swore that she thought she had wet the bed and was humiliated. She changed the bed and went to work ***doing housekeeping***!  Later that day she had what she thought was appendicitis...went to the ER...and squirted out her 6th child, Albert. 

She had 7 children in 10 years,  so maybe she forgot what it felt like not to be pregnant!

Gastrointestinal/gallbladder issues.

[hoosiermom]

This is such bull shit!

[Hellga]

Why is the weight loss progress 'for nothing' if she doesn't get weight loss surgery?  Isn't the goal of the surgery, you know, to lose weight?

It is indeed diagnosed by colonoscopy. Not sure what Dr. Now is looking for.

She's so irritating. I greatly dislike Ashley. 

You're not giving in to survive. You're giving in because you're lazy.

But like many poundticpants the only goal is surgery, and losing weight by dieting doesn’t matter in the least.  After all, she’ll slip up and gain it all back!

Hold the baby head shaped meatball, though.

[Guest]

Then go "be with" your kids, Ashley. No one's stopping you. You can force feed yourself all the cheesecake you want in your own damn house.

Another two hours wasted. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

Since when are fried apple pies,or is that garlic bread with a lot of butter?  Big piles of spaghetti on Dr. Now's diet?   Raspberry swirl cheese cake too.  

Bet she gains 50 lbs back in no time.  That's not on an IBS diet, or Dr. Now's.     No wonder her gall bladder is unhappy.

Updated eating habit:  Chicken pot pie, Pounders!

Love.love.love. Mr. Umgoblue...so I wouldn't have to miss any of this episode, he cooked and served...too bad this episode kind of sucks and I could have actually eaten AT THE TABLE tonight.  Well at least it was served on real dishes!

[Dianaofthehunt]

This show needs a new "composer." Enough with the would-be poignant plucking.
Actually, NO musical accompaniment would be better yet. Let the lies speak for themselves!

Because trying to lose weight is a temporary measure and the weight loss surgery will magically fix things and they wont have to try anymore. Its a magic fox not a lifetime commitment to a lifestyle change. Gosh its like youve never watched this show before 😛

[umgoblue]

I haven't seen one tear fall from her eyes.  

I think that I am crying more at seeing that sweet baby.

Why don't they let us write the script for this show? It's boilerplate by now..and with all the witty people here we could write something really good.

Just use our bingo card.
And I just watched Jeanne again, truly snarkworth, and this is more depressing, with her poor children.
And I thought her friend brought her "healthy" meal instead of her mother's meal, not as an appetizer.  Mom's meal didn't look that bad.

But you can make hand sanitizer with vodka!

I drove home from work today with our Governor giving a press conference on the radio.

Apparently a cruise ship returned to San Francisco port mid-February and disgorged 2500 passengers into  northern  California, one of whom died of covid-19.

Now official "state of emergency".

Sounds like this does call for vodka!

[hoosiermom]

I am just so disgusted with her.

Depends on if you're looking for upper GI or lower GI issues.  

I have IBS.  You know what's absolutely terrible for it?  Buttery carbs topped off with a slice of cheesecake.

She has nice clothes. She's not slopping around in some old torn stained man's T shirt. She has Outfits. Porn all day and twice on Sunday. 

Maybe disability pays better in Louisiana.

Homemade fried apples are probably actually pretty okay to eat sincw they are apples with a bit of butter and cinnimon. In terms of sweets they are probably one of the best options available.

That's "I know I've been giving in to the cravings more than I should" or "I have slipped up a little here and there" on the Bingo card.

I really don't need yet another version of Emma, but I don't think I can miss seeing Bill Nighy as Mr. Woodhouse.

[ShoePrincess]

Ashley needs to whine to my husband. He would set her straight like he did with his sister who complained that she cculdn't lose weight as she was shoveling a half-pound bacon cheeseburger, fries, a side of onion rings, and sweet tea into her gaping maw. She said she couldn't lose weight because her body is different and the things like healthy eating and exercise that work for normal people don't work for her. He told her that her body wasn't different and that she couldn't loose weight because she had a raging case of sitonyourfatassitis. I almost choked on my unsweetened tea.

 

[dreadfulLeigh]

I can’t believe I stayed up for this. I am so tired. I fell asleep earlier at 630!

I have stood next to Dolly.. and she put her arm around me. I felt like I weighed 2000 lbs and if I touched her, she would break into a thousand pieces.

Ugh. She's clearly gained.

For somebody who just sits at home why all the sexy outfits? 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Hm, still having stomach pains? A few million carbs and cheesecakes don’t have anything to do with that?

[88Keys]

Guys, I'm confused- is she pregnant or not?

Wow, and I thought I was the queen of falling asleep early! I giggle with glee if I can crawl into bed before 8. (I get up stupid early, in my defense)

[Caoimhe]

Gained 34 pounds!  That’s a lot of pasta and bread and cake!!!

[Ivylady]

Holy shit! 34 pound gain!
