S06.E12: Sarah's Story LIVE CHAT

[PeaceLily2]

How the hell do you gain 14 pounds in a week?  

[QuinnInND]

[MelissaMinion]

Daaaaammmnnnn. I will NEVER eat Tater Tots again, casserolled or not. 

[zoemom]

14 lb. weight gain.  There was more than just ONE tater tot casserole.  Someone's not telling the truth......

[88Keys]

It had to be more than just that pan of casserole.  She probably got scared as she saw the surgery approaching and started binging again.

I wonder how it is that her weight is all in her front and her shoulders.

When she walked out of the clinic, she looked completely flat from her waist down.

That flat back is ridiculous 

[Miracle Maxie]

The surgery keeps getting later and later each episode. It’s going to be at about 9:58 at this rate. 

[Guest]

I've gained 14 pounds just listening to her whine.

[zoemom]

Dr. Now getting tough with her.

[CouchTater]

She said she's mostly disappointed in herself.  Mostly???

[LordOfLotion]

You didn't "just lose control." You thought about it the whole time you were cooking that toxic sludge. You could have stopped cooking at any point, you could have stopped eating at any point, but you didn't. You were in control the entire time. You ate it because you wanted it. Just admit you ate it because you could!

[parrotlover]

Is this going to be a two part episode? Jesus we’re an hour and 40 minutes in .

[Caoimhe]

She was planning to eat everything she might not be able to have after surgery, tater tots were just the one we saw but I’m sure there was more.

I never did particularly like tater tots; that scene didn't help.

[Kvv9862]

It’s 1 step forward and 2 steps back with her. Let’s see if she can keep any consistency

[WillowG]

 I would sleep through the whole starving month.

[calpurnia99]

we have seen some disgusting fattening food on this show but this Tater Tot casserole gets TOP PRIZE!

[dreadfulLeigh]

But it begs to question, if she was sticking to the diet (and mom was supposedly not tempting her with shit food in the house) wtf was there tater tots and cream of vomit soup in the cupboard at all??

I thought she put a jar of mayo in there too. Anyway, she should feel sick after eating that shit.

It was probably light mayo

[elly1517]

Gimme trainwrecks and inspirations - people who halfass and do nothing is so booooooring

[Miracle Maxie]

Finally! Someone’s getting a trainer!

[WillowG]

Because three deep dish casserole pans of tater tots and cheese is eating like a normal person.

It started even before that...she had to buy the ingredients.  This was no split second decision.

Tater tot casserole?  Is she is a Duggar fan?

 I hate to admit this to you all, but I absolutely love tater tot casserole. But what she was making was completely not tater tot casserole!!  What the hell was that shit ? Cream of chicken soup mixed with cheese poured on top of tater tot’s that were already in the oven.

AND —-  how big was that container? That could feed a family of 12!!!

[PeaceLily2]

Ohhhhhhh Derrick!

[calpurnia99]

And who bought the ingredients for this? Why is it even in the house? And seriously just telling people to go onto a 1200 calorie a diet that have these issues, deep seated issues with food, and they are just supposed to stop like that.

Me either.

I wonder if Dr. Now ever prescribes antidepressants.  Most of these folks seem to be depressed on top of everything else.

I'd love to have a trainer.  Can't afford one.  I always am amazed when these folks get one.

Then throw it all out and eat a salad with a piece broiled fish or chicken ..lol

[rlc]

How is it possible to gain 14 pounds in less than a week? I gained 17 pounds during my entire full term pregnancy!

[emma1420]

Her comment about not being able to eat like a normal person made me sad.  She still doesnf understand that she is eating like a normal person.  She wasn’t before.

[MsVixen]

OOOOOH Derrick!  Come here and sit on Mama's lap!

[88Keys]

I have to admit, she dresses pretty well and seems to care about her appearance.  She's reasonably well-spoken, too, except for her voice being kind of dull/droning.  

[Leemah]

What is going on with the bra straps??!! 

[Miracle Maxie]

I’ve done all these except the boxing with my trainer. And a boatload more. 

[AnnaBanana]

Is it just me or does she actually look smaller?  Her face looks thinner.  Proud of her for going to a trainer.

[DC Gal in VA]

What's up with those skinny straps showing on each of her arms? Is her sports bra trying to make a run for it?

[Guest]

OMG she is prepped and ready for surgery -- of COURSE they're not going to cancel it.

[zoemom]

Someone please get her a bra!

Another one like Renee with thin ankles.

[aliya]

I'm doing 1200-1400 calories a day.  Sarah's doing 1200 and eating carrot sticks.  As I mentioned earlier, I had a big mess o'zucchini zoodles with peppers & sauce. I had a big salad for lunch and eggs & veg sausage for breakfast. Not a carrot in sight, nor do I feel deprived. None of these people learn about low calorie, nutrient dense, volumetric food. They complain about suffering because they are suffering. Who wants to, or feels they can, eat like that the rest of their lives?  As I get older, I know I don't need a ton of calories, but that doesn't mean I can't have interesting, tasty, filling food.

[QuinnInND]

Why didn't they weigh her before they had her gowned up and that shower cap on her head?

[ams1001]

Why get her all settled into the bed with the hair covered and all if they haven't even checked her weight yet?

 I can't even do mushroom soup and green beans at Thanksgiving, God Save the Queen.?

This is why I like the complete train wreck episodes the most. Far and away the most entertaining 

I think that because some episodes are so jaw-dropping (maggots, Aw Ma Lag, everything Assanti), the somewhat normal ones are more boring. I like to see them succeed but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like the train wrecks .

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

Oh just stop with the fake “will she or won’t she get the surgery drama.” Bitch is sitting there in full surgical garb with an IV.

This ^^^^^^

She doesn't seem to get that this is going to need to become a whole new way of thinking how to eat.  I lost 100 lbs. in my 30's (thank you Weight Watchers) and the way I eat now is so different than I once did.  It has to be a whole reprogramming of your way of thinking/approaching food choices.  

[MrsRopersCaftan]

Hey y’all! I’m so late this week (stupid work) but I can see this episode is a real doozy.

 

14 pound weight gain in a few days...girlfriend ate about 20 of those party sized tater slop, er, uh, tater tot casseroles. But at least she was honest? I dunno...I’m not feeling Dr. Now’s kudos for her backsliding.

To be fair to them, it’s not just low calorie it’s also a low carb diet.  If you are a carb lover, then I can imagine it’s difficult.  And if you are used to consuming 10,000 calories a 90% reduction of calories even with volume rich dishes is probably a tough transition.  

[Miracle Maxie]

Who on earth green lighted the Chappaquidick movie? What’s the point?

[junip]

Dr. Now is gonna find a tater tot lodged under her spleen.
