A couple of years ago, I had a medical emergency that required surgery. I was a little over 600 lb then, and I was too big for the first hospital I went to to treat me. I was unable to fit in an MRI and too heavy for their OR. They had to transfer me to a different hospital, and because no bariatric ambulances were available, I was transferred in a fire department vehicle with 9 firefighters lifting me on a heavy duty tarp. The experience was frightening, and as a result, I lost some weight. I didn't keep it off though, and I'm more than 200 pounds bigger than I was then. I'm trying to lose just enough weight that I can fit through my front door, which is currently an impossibility. I am about 11 ft. around at the fattest part of my belly, and I haven't left the house in a couple of months after a rapid intentional gain. I want to stay as obese as possible, but I do need to be able to get out in an emergency.

There are other medical challenges. I haven't fit in my dentist's chair in about 3 years, and they had to make do with me staying in my bariatric wheelchair. I've outgrown that chair though, and even if I could fit in it, I'm too heavy for my husband to push me on his own. We're currently exploring options for a custom extra heavy duty chair from Big Bounder.

As far as doctors' reactions to my weight, the hospital that treated me and was very respectful. Years ago, I was in the high 300s, and the GP I had at the time pressured me to lose weight. I actually got down to 190 and hated it. Of course, at this point, that was 650 lb ago.

My current doctor doesn't body shame, but at one visit, I had gained around 40 lb in 6 months, and she cautioned me against getting bigger than I was. Of course, I kept growing. If I'm able to leave my house for my August appointments, I expect her to say something about all my gain, but I'm not quite sure what that will be!

BigBallBellyGirl:
I know it will be significantly less standing, but the world record waistline was 120 inches. If I get fatter... could I break that record??? A girl can dream!

ExGymBunny:
I don’t think that’s a dream, that’s your future! Also, you’re also getting close to your belly measuring twice your height! 🤯😁

BigBallBellyGirl:
It got VERY big when I stuffed 70,000 calories and then kept bloating tighter throughout the night. I could tell because my sides puffed out more and more, and my gut pushed my boobs to the side. My thighs have bruises on them from the weight of my belly. At one point, I actually said, "I hope I don't keep swelling," and I NEVER say that!

BigBallBellyGirl:
Now I'm so engorged I can't even sit up or take a full breath! Even with layers and layers of belly fat, the top of my gut is tight as a drum. I truly wish I could weigh myself right now, but even if I hadn't outgrown my scale, my hopes of getting to the bathroom would be zero.

Kunto:
Have you set a new intake record? Damn makes me guess if you continue to stretch you stomach this enormous if you will ever reach 100,000 calories... amazing!

BigBallBellyGirl:
Just over 63,000!

BigBallBellyGirl:
I've always wondered about the accuracy of so-called calorie absorption caps. As someone who has a lifetime of experience gaining, stuffing, and overeating, I've frequently consumed more than the body is supposedly able to metabolize. As an example, I consumed 90,000 calories over two days during the 2023 Thanksgiving holiday. My weight temporarily increased by 29 pounds. Based on the maximum amount of calories a body is theoretically able to store as fat, I should have settled around a 9 pound gain after digestion and loss of water weight. I didn't. 19 pounds stuck... not to mention, I stretched my stomach (I believe permanently) and set off a massive holiday weight gain over the next few weeks.

Nitchbigger:
How massive of a weight gain for the rest of the holidays was it? I could only imagine if it started with 19lbs in 2 days. It's hard for most to do that in a whole month!

BigBallBellyGirl:
I conveniently keep a weight spreadsheet (have for years). That season I gained 72 pounds between November 1 and New Years! Of course, I'm even fatter now, but I've never quite matched that calorie intake.

FoodIsTheKeyToTheHeart:
That’s really impressive. What did you use to get that calorie intake that you had? (Like the 90 000 calories in 2 days).

BigBallBellyGirl:
I documented the whole thing here in a thread from November 2023 called "Thanksgiving". It was just an excess of holiday food,.. 9x13 pans, multiple servings, loads of desert. I stuffed myself at multiple family meals on Thursday, and Friday, I consumed most of a meal for six by myself. I was practically immobile for a day, and my belly was bloated and tight for almost a week. That feast set off a big gaining sprint, and I'm honestly not sure if my appetite ever fully reset for normal portions. I'm much heavier now than I was then. I often fantasize about whether i could outdo my record.

FoodIsTheKeyToTheHeart:
That's super impressive. Hope you could make it one day and beat your record.

BigBallBellyGirl:
I think I likely could! Yesterday, I ate well over 20,000 calories, and while I was bloated and a little short of breath, I still felt like I could have handled more. I actually woke up quite hungry this morning as well. I may push my limits this weekend and test just how big my capacity is. Of course, I'm also gaining like crazy. I've put on 80 pounds since January 30th, pushed my belly button into a large, protruding outie, split the seams of a dress, sized back up into my "fattest" clothes, and added so much weight to my belly I can no longer bend over to reach things in lower cabinets.

BigBallBellyGirl:
Back into gaining again (or rather eating as much as I want to, with gaining as a side effect.) Yesterday I went all out, only pausing when I was about to pop, and I may do it again today. I'm so bloated still the skin on top of my belly is smooth and tight instead of jiggly. The feast day included:

Munchies:
Good luck! Are you getting back into gaining or are you taking a break from maintaining?

BigBallBellyGirl:
Taking a break from maintaining, and enjoying a few stuffings along the way. Again, this won't last, because, well, it can't go on infinitely. But I've been in the mood for a little fun!

I'm not sure where I'll settle with weight gain from all this food, but my fiance felt my belly several times yesterday, and he says he can still feel my hard, bloated, stomach under all my fat. Several times yesterday, I was so full I couldn't breathe, and I started sweating profusely. I have to say, I've missed that sensation, since it's been a while since I last went to these kind of extremes. Today, it's back to work, so the fun is over for a bit, but I'm enjoying the results of still feeling completely ballooned out. I do
