Amberlynn Reid - 600 pound pathological liar and U-Haul lesbian moving in with her next live-in maid/nurse/girlfriend.

[An Ghost]

I don't know why AL doesn't get gastric bypass. Unlike the Slaton sisters, she has some real desire to be thin, hence the constant diet fails, and the intelligence to understand the kind of eating you have to do afterwards. She's never going to be able to lose 300 lbs on her own; most people who have been obese all their lives can't. There are two choices for her: bypass or bedridden.

Why not admit that and get it done before she's 700 lbs and her exceptional girlfriend is washing her folds and dealing with the subsequent infections that are certain to ensue?

She's lied before, but if she is working she should have insurance, and if not, Obamacare can't deny her, so it'll be expensive but doable. And even if not, you can get gastric bypass financed just like plastic surgery.

Her videos are too long and boring for me to listen to them the in full. I usually can't get more than 5 minutes in before I can't take they "hey gurrl," the "you slay" and all the other phrases that she thinks make her sound fun, cool and trendy. If some are more tolerant than me and if she's ever addressed gastric bypass, I'd be curious what her excuses are for not doing it.

And *everybody* thinks waters have different flavors, except those whose tastebuds are destroyed from sugar.

Gastric bypass isn't the magic fix. In addition to the surgery there's a bunch of psychological evaluations and sometimes group therapy for the families. Also she's young and could exercise and unlike some of the cows here hasn't drank all the fat acceptance kool aid. She could be capable of fixing herself when a bypass is more of a last resort.
Bottom line is gastric bypass is a lot of work for her and possibly Destiny too. If AL loses weight, goes out more, is more confident, it could cause a rift in their relationship which is what the family therapy is for. Getting thin naturally through diet and exercise is also a lot of work. Did you know protein bars are actually bad if you sit on your ass all day? Probably, but AL didn't! Not using a scooter at Walmart? Forget that those places are huge! Plus the carts even have a basket.
Being a fat bitch until you die? Zero effort. That's the road she has chosen and will continue on because AL stands for 'always least resistance'

Agreed to a point. I'm skinny so the psychological stuff about food eludes me. I do watch a lot of Fat Doctor and My 600 pound Life shows, plus documentaries. Shaw Summers, who does the surgery on Fat Doctor, believes that when people are above 400 lbs they are incapable of doing it without medical help, which does come with a team of psychologists, dietitians, physical therapists and others to help them. But they have to do it themselves, the surgery just gives them the push they need. They can fail on surgery too but it takes years and comes with lots of pain.

She seems like a perfect candidate to me, she and Boogie. She's smart enough to learn, would get excited about documenting it for YouTube and it woukd just generally be a good thing for her.

But I guess like every addict, she may not be willing to give up her drug of choice. And sometimes when they do get ready, it's too late and they die.

Or maybe she's making more on those muk bangs than we know. .

It seems like in every video she's uploaded this month, Amberlynn keeps insisting she's losing weight, but she lied about losing weight before... At her size, it isn't easy to notice small gains and losses, but I seriously doubt she's losing. She said walking should help with her back pain and that Destiny wants her to quit her job because she's sitting for 10 hours. However, she doesn't want to quit because she likes getting out and doing things. Why can't she find a different job that would allow her to be on her feet more?

Because standing all day would be even worse. At her weight, everything is going to hurt her back. Standing all day at a job will hurt her back but it will also take her hips, knees, ankles and feet down, too. AL talks a lot of shit - she can't make it through a WalMart trip without using a scootypuff to haul her carcass around. She'd last a day max at a job that didn't permit her to sit all day. She's likely in continual pain due to her girth and either doesn't understand how wrecked her body is or she's just using it as an excuse for post-work sloth.

Regarding weight loss surgery: AL will have to do a lot of work to be approved for gastric bypass. It can take a long time to get approved. I don't think she will be able to hold onto a job long enough to have continual benefits that will enable her to see the procedure through from beginning to end. Obamacare also does not require WLS for family or individual plans in Kentucky. If she loses her job and buys Obamacare insurance, she will then need to move to one of the states that cover the process.

 

[PiggyPie]

As far as I knew, before bypass surgery they make these whales lose weight on their own first to prove they have control over their eating habits. I highly doubt that AL can get her shit together enough to even qualify for surgery plus I am pretty sure she made a video awhile ago stating that she would never have it done.

When I said she should be on her feet more, I didn't mean she should be standing for 8 hours. She needs a job that allows her to both sit and stand. She loved her old job at a nursing home. She could look for a similar job. Or, since money supposedly isn't the issue, she could volunteer at a hospital or an animal shelter. We all know that carrying an extra 300 pounds is why her back and feet always hurt. The best thing in the world for her would be to find a swimming pool and swim laps every day. She should also take Twinky out a few times a day for short walks because they both need the exercise. But Amberlynn will never change. She likes to complain, yet will do nothing to solve her problems.

 

[Purple People Eater]

Why is she blaming her job for the fact she's not getting enough exercise? Nothing is stopping her from exercising on her own time, even something as simple as walking her dog every day would make a big impact in the beginning.

 

[Barbarella]

I don't think it's true anymore that doctors make you lose 50 pounds (or whatever) before the surgery to prove you can. Yeah, that doc on My 600 lb Life does, but that's for TV.

They do want candidates to go on a diet for a couple weeks to help shrink the liver down-that's to help the surgical instruments get where they need to be.

Now, they do the psychological stuff concurrently with the weight loss surgery, at least based on people I've heard from. The surgical techniques have gotten much safer and the death rate has gone down so they can now operate on fatter people than they used to.

And while it's too bad Kentucky won't pay, she can still pay herself. Slight power level: a friend of mine financed hers and she did not have a high income job. But the energy and looks she gained helped her make more. Fat that prevents you from living a normal life also prevents career advancement.

There is nothing preventing AL from exercising. She can take her lunch hour and work breaks and go on a walk at the minimum. Lots of people go to a gym. But you know she'd rather drive to Taco Bell and huff down some burritos and then stop at McDonald's for a burger and shake dessert. Being at work probably helps her have some control. If she stays home and goes on disability, she'll be 700 lbs before 2018.

I do feel bad for these people who were fat from childhood, especially a troubled childhood like she had. It's much harder to change ingrained patterns than it would be for somebody who got fat at an older age. But at some point, you need to realize you are a responsible adult and do what's necessary to save your live. She's full of justifications and excuses.

Not sure if it's true or not but someone in her most recent video claims to know where she works... selling health insurance.

A surgeon won't even look at a person's knees if theyre overweight and they need knee surgery but unwilling to lose weight. It's merely masking a symptom if there's some other cause.

Gastric bypass is more of a treatment for a genetic reason that a person gains weight not an emotional sort. Having a bad childhood fits right into that category. And youtube drama that she totally doesnt care about guys doesn't help. An emotional person will continue to eat regardless of how small their stomach is and the 30% that's left can expand again. What she needs is a therapist and to not be a lolcow.

for some reason i can't view that, try posting the image url or upload it to imgur and to the url from there using the add image button

Vlogtober is over. Oh, no!

Amberlynn just can't take it anymore. People are so negative! She doesn't know when she'll upload another video. (Probably within the next few days is my guess.) She starts crying at the end. I didn't watch the whole thing because her whining was grating on my nerves.

 

[Kataomoi00]

*Can't take it anymore*

*Doesn't want anymore drama*

*Proceeds to upload video that will drag her deeper into drama*

Business as usual.

 

[Pearl Bookworm]

For all her bragging about youtube $$ (4k she says) there's no way she'll stop making videos, this is her lame attempt to garner more views. Ain't nobody falling for it, just like no one believes that junk food bin on the fridge is only Destiny's.

 

[Cheeseburger Picnic]

Getting thin naturally through diet and exercise is also a lot of work.

No it isn't, especially at that size. All she needs to do is eat one less pizza a day to lose like 100 pounds easily. She doesn't even need to exercise to lose weight, just put less food in her maw.

 

[EH 110]

She needs her YouTube paycheck to buy Walmart clothes and jewelry, junk food, and meals out. There's no way she'll take a long break. She'll just disable her comments after her little temper tantrum is over.

That poor dog.

Exactly. She's young and with some minor life changes she can lose a quarter of her body weight. Without much physical or psychological effort. Right now she is routinely eating past the point of comfort to maintain her current weight and to continue gaining. Let's be generous and say she's a mere 400 pounds at five foot five inches tall. That gives her a BMR of approximately 2600 calories daily and a TDEE of around 3100 calories. That means she is eating more than 3100 calories, every day.

In order to lose a pound a week, she needs to eliminate 500 calories daily. That's two Snickers bars. That's a large order of fries. That's a venti Caramel Frappacino from Starbucks. If she got My Fitness Pal and a kitchen and bathroom scale, she'd be able to carve 50 pounds off herself while feeling little hunger. 2600 calories a day is a lot of food. Hell, she could continue eating garbage if she just tracked her calories and controlled her portion size.

If she added a 20 minute daily walk, at 400 pounds she'd lose around a pound and a half each month just moving around at such a low intensity and time frame.

And it would be so much better than WLS. Cheaper, less painful, no dumping syndrome, no chronic constipation due to protein concerns, no malnutrition, no hair loss...

But all of this is akin to asking how many fat girls can dance on the tip of a Hershey's kiss. Amber is never going to hold a job long enough for insurance to pay for WLS and no one will finance it due to her shitty credit. She's never going to follow through on an eating plan. Even if she got surgery she's the sort of dumbass who would overeat and tear her stomach pouch or stretch it out and gain it all back. She may surprise us one day but for now I'll be very surprised if she can walk at all under her own power this time next year.

I hope that dog escapes and goes to someone who actually knows how to care for it and feed it properly.

Some Snapchat updates

She's fatter than I remember

It's not a car but it's nice too. I actually don't even know what kind of phone that is so it's probably a shitty prepaid
