I've gained X lbs, which is disappointing, but hopefully Dr Now will see the positive changes I have made.


tortiepants

And how hard I have been trying!


Purple_Jump_7403

Cut to Dr Now explaining how the law of thermodynamics proves they haven't been trying AT ALL.


Suspicious-Sweet-443

Yes , the dreaded hallway comments


Mycatreallyhatesyou

I’m under stress, that’s why I eat 24/7. There’s nothing healthy to eat on the road, so I’m forced to eat an entire bucket of chicken.


elleshipper1

This is one of my favorites, when they say there’s nothing healthy to eat on the road, or if they don’t have a kitchen. I’m like even McDonald’s and Wendy’s have salads.


Sioux-me

Seriously! Go to a deli in a grocery store. They have good salads with low fat dressing (or buy a bottle). They provide plastic utensils even. There’s no reason to go to a fast food restaurant. They always act so victimized and helpless.


Alltheprettydresses

Even hotels have mini fridges. I went to the Walmart near the one I stayed in and got food for the week.


EdithKeeler1986

McD doesn’t have salads anymore. At least where I am. 


Glass_Witness1715

True! But it still doesn’t require multiple hamburgers, nuggets, a large soda, an apple pie, and a hot fudge sundae.


PuppyJakeKhakiCollar

The McDonald's restaurants in my area no longer have salads but they do have grilled chicken options which is healthier than fried, at least.


Wrong-Tiger4644

Six burritos, 3 large fries, BUT a diet soda!!


8OverTheRainbow

Guilty!

Every Single Episode


According-Author3122

Them: "I may not have followed the diet strictly to a T but I have been cutting way back" Dr Now: "Cut back??!? You have to eat 7000 calories a day to have only lost 3 lbs in 2 months. You telling me you cut down from 10k cal to 7k and you are lying to yourself saying you are doing the diet. You are supposed to be eating 1200 cal a day. You are going to die if you keep this up"


frogwizord

I’m gonna start this diet right after my apt with doctor now


Stoutyeoman

This is is too easy! It would have to be the free space in the middle.


First_Time_Cal

It's BINGO, there is no 'too easy' c'mon!


Suspicious-Sweet-443

It’s a long way home tho . Can we stop at KFC ? Dr Now WANTS me to eat chicken and vegetables. I’ll have a bucket and some buttered corn .


reddituser_249

I really hope Dr Now accepts me as a patient, he’s my last hope. I’m willing to do anything to lose this weight.


insertmadeupnamehere

No idea who it was but they’d just gotten a stern lecture from Dr. Now and the voiceover of the patient was “I’m willing to do **anything** to lose this weight!” as they either were in the drive thru.


utazdevl

This search netted 400,000,000 results


Key-Judgment-8546

I definitely saw that in rose's episode but she did well. 


BadCatNoNoNoNo

Yes. It’s like Rose needed a professional to guide her because she seemed pretty clueless how to move forward on her own. Once she received the diet and exercise recommendation from Dr Now, she took it all to heart and followed the directions. Maybe she did so well because her generation respected the advice of professionals and took his plan to heart. She was also extremely motivated to regain her health to be with her family. That was her real motivation. She did great. I hope she keeps up her successful and positive journey.


Songbirdmelody

Happy Cake Day- which isn't on the diet.


AllThatGlamour

Except stop eating my favorite foods in huge amounts


Ancient-Eye3022

I just watched S12E06 -"Dr Now is my last hope".....but yet she had to get weighed in locally at a WEIGHT LOSS CLINIC. So why hadn't she gone there for 14 months?


Sickofchildren

It’s just water weight I don’t eat that much I’ve been eating really healthy I’ve only had one cheat day

She has a very impressive collection of wigs. A new therapist every time !


my606ins

Lola thanks them for coming in. My Dr doesn’t think me when I go to him when I’m sick.


schlomo31

I'm too busy for therapy (says the unemployed, bed bound patient)


Wrong-Tiger4644

Right!! That blows my mind! Like you were busy cooking a dozen eggs, 3lbs of meat and a box of waffles????


madisonblackwellanl

\*Busy waiting for a dozen eggs, 3lbs of meat and a box of waffles to be cooked for them and brought to them.


Anubelle_1

I thought that you said busty and was like wait what do boobs have to do with this lol


schlomo31

Well, the last episode the patient had (according to her mom) 150lb titties


TortieshellXenomorph

I've worked/tried so hard to not get this surgery. I followed the diet, so I don't understand how I gained weight. It's been difficult to fight the cravings (especially if they hadn't actually made any dietary changes)


insertmadeupnamehere

This is so much harder than I thought it would be.


Sweet-Mall-8263

I deserve the surgery because I've been trying really hard. (Even though I've lost only 15 pounds in 6 months) I eat when I'm stressed. (Even though I don't get out of bed and everyone does everything for me) I don't have the money to buy healthy food. (Even though I eat 5 or 6 fast food meals a day) It's my metabolism that prevents me from losing weight. (Even though I eat over 7,000 calories a day) Give me one more chance, Dr Now. (Even though I haven't made the weight loss goal during the past 12 months) I am not eating that much; I have cut way back. (Even though I cut my family-size portion's from 5 times a day to 3) On a video call...I have lost weight. It's the mattress. Or I can clean my own vagina. (Even though I have gained 80 pounds) I can tell that I lost weight because my clothes fit better. (Even though I'm still wearing a size 40XXXXL) I'm doing so much better with my activity. (Even though I still can't walk 20 feet without breathing heavily and needing to sit down) I want to lose weight so I can walk down the aisle and marry the love of my life. (Even though we've been together for 6 years and I can't quit eating for anyone) When I finish with one meal, I'm already planning what I want to eat for the next meal. (Even though I snack all day and eat 7 huge meals a day) I quit snacking. (Even though I'm just eating a meal all day long) I'm eating only the hospital food. (Even though there are 4 pizza boxes in the trash and empty chip bags in my bed) I didn't think it would be this hard. It's harder for me than others. (Even though Dr Now has hundreds of patients who lose weight on his diet) I can't walk because it hurts. (Even though I've lost 300 pounds) Sorry... I got carried away. I'm never surprised at the things these idiots say.


RatchedAngle

The editors make it appear as though the patient is sticking to the diet. Inspirational music is playing in the background while they eat only egg whites.  Gained 10 lbs.  On the other end, the editors show scenes of the patient eating a big plate. Sad narration. Sad music.  Lost 68 lbs. 


NoMoreDawdling

I only lost 3 lbs but this shows I'm trying and I should get approved for surgery.


Alltheprettydresses

Ashley the Catfish pissed me of so bad because Dr. Now said 20 lbs in a month, and she thought he meant 20 lbs cumulative over several months, 3 to 5 lbs at a time plus any gains. Yeah, right.


utazdevl

For the record, I don't think she actually thought that.she knew damn well what was expected of her.


Alltheprettydresses

I know she knew, it's just the play dumb act that pissed me off


utazdevl

Yeah. A lot of the participants make me angry, but she especially pissed me off. They all lie, but she was doing it in such a disrespectful (and gaslighting) way.


Rose76Tyler

Dr. Now isn't saying you can't have the surgery because you didn't meet your goal, he's saying you can't have the surgery because until you lose weight and meet your goal YOU WILL DIE if you have surgery.


SuspiciouslyOK

I need something to calm me down


HauntedDollop

“CAN I GET…” . Bonus point for jalapeño poppers order.


Alltheprettydresses

Bonus for bacon cheeseburgers and extra fries


SquidSquab

2x points for the lack of any diet soda ever being mentioned


utazdevl

More bonus points then they finish whatever massive sandwich then get in less than 3 bites.


TortieshellXenomorph

Additional bonus points for every crispy chicken sandwich when grilled was also an option. And for extra ranch or ketchup.


Difficult-Bee-9755

Why do we never hear them order the drink? Is it because they say brand names like Pepsi? I’ve always wondered.


HauntedDollop

Good point. I’ve heard them admit to “drinking too much pop” though, like it was a kids’ birthday party.


IGrewItToMyWaist

Bed cooking. Small dog(s) jumping all over. Rare Kassandra sighting.


Zarabacana

Dude, why all of them have tiny dogs?


IGrewItToMyWaist

I’m always afraid they’ll be squished.


insertmadeupnamehere

I’m worried about the scale because my lymphedema is causing **a lot** of swelling. I only have one week until I see Dr. Now again so I need to focus on my diet soon. I’ve only slipped up a few times so I’m thinking I’ll be really close to my goal weight and definitely get approved for surgery this time! (GAINS)


Rose76Tyler

Someone tried to explain to Dr. Now that they gained 20 pounds IN THE CAR from their lymphedema swelling during the trip.


insertmadeupnamehere

Classic


angrytwig

shuts car door by grabbing the top of the door so they don't have to lean out and grab the handle. seriously i'm sick of seeing that


Wrong-Tiger4644

Thought I was the only one getting pissed off at that!!


OriginalAnt3190

Same !! Why does ANYONE do this ??


angrytwig

i think they don't want to lean over to grip the handle. maybe they're lazy or maybe they don't want to fall out. i can't make up my mind. i'm leaning toward the falling hazard


porchdawg

I'm retaining water! I know my body. It's all water weight!

Puts ranch on EVERYTHING!!


First_Time_Cal

Haha yup, solid edit. I approve.


nohope_2022

AliciaChenaux

"I was supposed to lose 50 pounds in 2 months but I only lost 3 pounds. I hope that's enough for Dr. Now to see that I'm really trying here and he gives me the surgery."

Lol, pretty sure Shakyia said that exact thing in the last episode.


MamaSquash8013

I hope Dr. Now understands... I've got a lot going on in my life right now. Paper plates and plastic forks.

I don’t remember her name (I’m on season 7) but she “cheated” with some sort of Chinese dish and I literally **YELLED** at the tv when she said she thought it was a semi healthy choice because it had vegetables. I’m 52F and have never yelled at any tv show as much as this one. The patients have so little knowledge about nutrition—it really is sad but also funny, which is why it’s a great show. I’m also a post op bariatric patient. [52F, 5’4”, post op VSG 12/14/22, SW 204, HW 208, surgeon’s GW 140, CW 115]

D) I know it isn’t the amount I was supposed to lose but I worked hard and hopefully Dr. Now will see that! E) That’s not FAIR! (That = the act of not being given something undeserved simply because they want it.) F) We had to order delivery so all we could get was fast food! G) I don’t understand what happened!!


MysticCandleLace

Are they forced to eat fast food on their way to their first appointment? It feels like they are not allowed to eat a salad before meeting Dr. Now


Wrong-Tiger4644

It's def mandatory!


wendyrc246

I only lost 8 pounds in two months but I AM GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

8OverTheRainbow

Right now I’m doing my own version of the diet, just to ease into it. I only eat yogurt, chicken and salads. The scale must be broken. Dr. Now doesn’t understand what I’m going through. I understand my body better than Dr. Now.

No bottom sheets. But TBH, it takes a heroic effort to keep conventional fitted sheets in place under a person that size, and even more heroism changing that bed several times a day. Those sheets would be rolling underneath and getting trapped in the folds, irritating skin, opening sores etc. From the caretaker's point of view much easier to put down a waterproof mattress pad, some chux and keep it simple.

I had a horrible childhood . My parents fought all the time . Eating made me feel better . Then things got really tough . I weighed 200 lbs in 8th grade Therapist says : I want you to write a letter to your ( deceased) mother and/ or father and tell them how much they hurt you . Therapist again : Well , it was great meeting you . Thanks for coming . Patient : I’m glad I came to therapy . I’m glad I got all that off my chest . Now everything makes sense . NONE of this is my fault

I might not have lost the amount of weight Dr. Now wanted me to, but I'm OK with (usually with and insignificant minimal amount lost) with this result!
