chapter 8 - doctor's orders

Jessica showed up at her weekly followup just as instructed. Just like last time, Dr. Ames' male nurse took her back to the exam room and told her to change. It was the exact same clothes as last time, and just like like last week, they were too small and she spilled out of the lace bra and panties.

Dr. Ames knocked, walked in, and asked her how her week had been. She said fine and he told her to step on the scale. The readout showed: 232. She had not gained any weight from the week before. Seeing this she smiled, proud of herself. She started to say excitedly "Dr. Ames is the first week I haven't gained. This is..." He cut her off asking "Have you not been complying with your diet?" Jessica replied: "Yes I have been eating the bars." Dr. Ames looked at her sternly and said "But what about the other food we sent you home with?" Jessica said "Well that is much more calorie dense so I didn't eat it." Dr. Ames looked at her almost angrily now "So you are saying you have been non-compliant." She started to interrupt "I didn't know I was...." He cut her off "You are to eat everything we send you with. You are to eat everything we tell you to eat." She said "I am sorry, I didn't know."

Dr. Ames turned from her and walked to the phone on the wall and picked it up. A few seconds later he said "Bring the special shake kit". A few minutes later there was a knock at the door. The door opened and Dr. Ames nurse brought in some kind of modified wheel chair. There were straps on the arms and legs, and some mask looking thing with a tube attached that went up to a large funnel. His nurse pushed the chair into the room and then sat two gallon containers of some kind of shake next to it. His nurse then asked Dr. Ames "Will you need my assistance?" Dr. Ames replied "I don't think so." He then turned to Jessica "Sit in the chair please." She got up and sat down in it. He then walked up to her and said "For your safety" and strapped her down to the chair. Then he said "This mask aids in feeding efficiency. Please open your mouth." She did as she was told and he placed the mask on her, inserting the tube into her mouth. She could no longer speak now, or move, and she watched him.

He picked up one of the containers of shake and said "The stomach has a stretched capacity of about 4.5 liters or so. You are not truly full until you have consumed that much." He then poured it into the funnel, the shake flooding into her stomach.
