S08.E14: Megan's Story LIVE CHAT

[hoosiermom]

Schwann's came today so I'm set. I miss fresh veggies and fresh fruit so I got some frozen strawberries and pineapple. Close enough at this point.

[poeticlicensed]

Garbage pizza AND pasta?!

You can't suck it up for 30-45 minute car ride?  This trip to Houston is going to be a doozy.  What's the over/under on fast food stops?

Maybe if your mother packed her food for the 30 to 45 minute car ride she would go.

[Momomig]

Why do so many of these Poundticipants talk as though their noses are blocked?  Blow your nose!  Can they not find the energy to put air through their noses?

I’m not even allowed to go to the store. They’re pretty empty here because everyone is doing delivery or curbside pickup but that me s those are completely sold out in every store in every town.

Before I’m misunderstood, due to the high risk status of my husband (heart disease) and son (diabetes) and my lung issues, my husband put the kibosh on my grocery runs, despite using gloves and a mask. There were several loud fights.

I LOVE broccoli, eat it almost everyday. Enjoy! 🥦

we do, too.  But it is just the 2 of us so it looks a bit overwhelming especially since I had planned for tomorrow''s dinner to be chili and cheese beer biscuits due to cooler weather.  Not a good combo with the broccoli.  I could decide not to do the chili and do fish, but that was for Friday's fishy meal.    I like to mix it in with squash for a change which we have or cauliflower which I don't have.  

[babyhouseman]

This is another lady on this show who reminds me of Peter Griffin. I forgot who the first was.

[OoogleEyes]

I decided not to watch tonight. I am just enjoying the chat.

Carry on!

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Maybe it's the wallpaper from Willie Wonka.  If you lick it, it tastes like a cupcake. 

That one is from my daughter.  Must give credit where credit is due.

[parrotlover]

I can’t wait for this road trip.

I cannot understand how they eat lying down like that.

it's an art form

[hoosiermom]

Now I want to order a pizza and I already ate. 😡

[Snarkastikate]

Mommy watches her eat with such love in her eyes.  We've seen this syndrome before, wasn't it Sean?  Mommy fed him almost to death, and she then ups and dies,  leaving him to die soon thereafter?   Not sure if I got that all right.

Evening all.  Munching on a protein bar right now.  GYm is still closed here in NJ.  Please make me laugh.  No gym workouts for 14 days.  Going crazy!!!!!

I feel ya!  The gym is the luxury I miss the most these days.  I'll never take it for granted again.

[Chicklet]

Now I want a cupcake, thanks show.

A 45 minute drive would require her "getting in and out of the car a lot"? 

Even she knows how lame that sounds.

She’s from TX and her 5-year old kid did everything for her.  The hubby was a truck driver.  I forget her name.

I don't know what to say except HI!

 

Hi!  Welcome!  Have fun!

[CousinOliver]

I don’t think the tiny plate trick works when flanked by two take out pastas.  What was that tiny kids plate for?  Show?

[Concerned]

Now they’re talking about college not starting up in the fall. This is going to be a long summer. Got to avoid the Quarantine 15.

lol, sorry to disappoint you, but I live in NJ. (Google maps tells me it's just under 60 miles driving; 40 as the crow flies, apparently. I always think it's further because it takes a good couple hours to drive there but that's a lot to do with traffic.)

Well it’s about 1300 miles for me, so you’re still more likely to run into him than I am. Your gov is doing an excellent job too, though, from what I see on the news 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I am running outside every day but in the past have only run every other day due to osteo arthritis in my right knee.  Now I don't give a crap about the pain and just suck it up.  I will either be ready for that Memorial Day 5k 10k or need a knee replacement.

Here I am! I went hog wild and ate carbs! I had a bologna sandwich with mayo, potato chips and cream of chicken soup. About sixty million grams of sodium and zero nutrition, but so delicious. 

@Suzywriter, are you feeling better this week?  I've ben thinking of you. 😊

[Splashes]

The site wouldnt update for me that it was open. Good evening pounders! Tonights eating habit it a chicken parm tv dinner because I dont have any gas.

I seriously wonder how Covid 19 is affecting DrNows’ patients. We all know how it’s affecting his practice, and thus any taping still going on for the show (I think they do the WATN this late), but this gives them the excuse to stay in their beds. no more romantic scooter runs through the grocery stores, no more hookups with online significant others and some states are instigating checkpoints to stop people from other states from entering.  Plus it’s harder to find delivery options, at least in my area of the country. And these patients are high risk by their very nature.

I'm grateful for an excuse to sit on my ass in pajamas all day and play The Sims 4 while eating unhealthy amounts of ketchup chips. It's hard but we all have to do our part.

715. She’s tall.

You got it exactly right.  I can't believe a mother would feed her that junk when she's had all those medical issues.  She's not right in the head either!

[Chicklet]

Now I can only see Peter Griffin with long hair and whining.

[CousinOliver]

13 hours in 2 days is reasonable.   I don’t like to drive more than 8 hours a day. 

[Suzywriter]

Before gastric surgery was so popular, people used to get their "jaw wired"--they put braces on their teeth and wired them shut so that they could only drink protein shakes and other liquids. I think some of the poundticipants might benefit from wiring to help them change their eating habit.. This girl can put it away!

300 by 11 is criminal.  I've said it before.  

No kidding! I was kinda growling at the TV at that. Like, did either of the PARENTS of this THREE HUNDRED POUND ELEVEN YEAR OLD CHILD have a clue there was a serious problem going on? Did she ever see a doctor? Did anybody from her school think to report this as a seriously dangerous situation? 

Yeah she was effed up AND she was a child. For fuck's sake what were all the adults in her life doing to let that situation keep rolling?

No, honey, Your weight is not taking everything away from you. YOU are taking everything away from you.

Another one looking for a miracle.

She's in some ways more functional than many of the pounditicipants. She wears real clothes and can walk even if not very far. She eats at a table and sits in real chairs.

So, here comes the road trip.

They suspended filming last weekend.

Do you have day time pajamas or just keep the same ones? I alternate to make things exciting.

While I haven’t (yet) succumbed to the lure of carbs I did eat way too much all weekend.  Unhelpful “news” articles about how you should allow yourself to eat and not worry about your weight are counterproductive for people like me.  I have to remind myself that when they say “if your body wants cake then have a piece” my result would be eating the entire cake in one sitting.  

Being home all day I have to remind myself to eat. I have this weird mental block where I'll get stuff for work lunches and whatnot but I won't eat it when I'm home. And now I'm working from home for who knows how long...

[FormeryHeavyJ]

Stop every two hours to walk around or to eat?

Ah - ok. Hard to tell in text.

Don't get me wrong, I am TOTALLY happy I am alone - there is no way I could live in a small apartment w/ another person. One of us would be dead by now.

No worries. Everyone is on edge. This is the happy snarking place though 🙂

[JunebugTx]

A little ironic that she has a shirt that says Follow Your Dreams...

She is pretty pathetic at this point.

[nytonc]

Diets & exercise haven’t worked? Hard to believe!

[ams1001]

"I need something to eat before we get on the freeway." Of course you do.

I'm getting ads for hand sanitizer.
