What Amberlynn is describing, waiting all day to eat and then having it all in one sitting, is a binge. That’s why doctors will tell you to have small mess throughout the day.
@BigBootyTrudie yeah,,, FUCK i hate it when i have to say something that might justify amber but since i started really taking control of my life in regards to my eating habits and weight i find myself to not be that hungry anymore. i mainly ate during the day out of boredom. now that i eat based on actual hunger cues i’m not hungry until i get home from work and a 800kcal meal and a nice dessert is more than enough for me. a whole ass seafood boil to herself is very different of course but a big meal at the end of the day isn’t ALWAYS a binge edit: whoops! just realized my wording may sound like was disagreeing with you. i just wanted to support your omad argument with my own anecdotal experience if my intent wasn’t clear lol
My partner choked on food in the middle of the night when he had gotten up with our baby. It was so terrifying for him that any time he ate he thought he was choking and he couldn’t eat. He ended up losing around 40 pounds in only a few months and he had to go see a specialist. Years later he still has times when he’s anxious while eating. Amberlynn gatekeeping a choking experience is just beyond flabbergasting, like no other person has experienced fear like she has. Truly we do not know anything like our gorl does, we should be lucky she shares such vulnerabilities with us since we just have no idea what it’s like.
As a kid I choked on one of those red and white peppermint candies, a complete airway upstruction, and I couldn't eat those stupid mints again for like 25 years before I even DARED try (just to try and get over the fear) and now that I have kiddos I'm so paranoid of giving them round chokable foods. I squish blueberries and peas, I cut hotdocts into quarters the long way, ect. Choking is fucking terrifying
My windpipe closed up 2018 and I ended up getting a awake tracheostomy. The feeling of not breathing is traumatizing, therapy doesn't work and when I have to get a change trach I have to take medicine just to relax enough. It's no joke.
God, you're right with ALR totally gatekeeping food-related trauma. For me, specifically, I can't ever eat small scad again after getting a bout of terrible stomach flu and violent vomiting after a dinner of those fried fish. *Anyway,* point is that despite potatogate, it does not seem as if it's at all affected her eating habits, eh?
I have to pay attention when I eat or I will devour food way too fast. My partner has to sometimes remind me to set my utensils down and chew between each bite. I’m not fat, but I exercise a lot and am pretty busy, so I have a huge appetite and am used to eating quickly. Everyone in my family is like this.
I am not defending amberlynn in any way but I have to disagree. I am someone who doesn't chew much a d with some food they do get stuck a bit and I have to remind myself to chew more. we exist...
I think there's something to said that some of her food issues might stem from how she grew up - poor addicts as parents and food insecurity can result in plenty of food hoarding and overeating. But she doesn't seem to recognize that's part of it.
🥔 choking wake-up call didn't do shit to scare Amber straight; cancer, lyphedema, lipedema, not being able to walk 2 minutes without losing her breath; having a bedbound situation type deal didn't wake her up...nothing will. She'll wake up when she's 6ft under.
To be fair, lipedema is not a side effect of obesity, it’s a genetic and hormonal condition that does NOT cause obesity. But it DOES cause localized fat deposits that aren’t responsive to dietary changes or increased exercise. Her size isn’t due to lipedema overall. It’s possible some parts of her body are experiencing this, but it’s not an overall obesity phenomenon.
@@BeckBeckGoshe has blamed both the lipedema and lyphedema on her not being able to keep to a regular diet, she has to eat over 2500 calories or something along those lines.
@@LegacyXJudah right, and this isn’t how lipedema presents. It’s better to think of it like a localized mass that grows despite dietary or exercise changes. Which isn’t what we’re seeing with ALR. Again, she may very well have it. But she ALSO eats enough to ensure the rest of her body catches up.
@@BeckBeckGo I don't think that she has Lipedema, she presents as having Lymphedema. I was diagnosed with Lipedema 5 years ago and have had it since puberty. She is using it as an excuse for not losing weight, however, she hasn't changed her diet to help reduce inflammation, she still eats lots of sodium.
So, she didn't meet her goal of 1 lb per week, she will not get approved for WLS. If she was following the eating plan given to her by the surgeon, she would be losing weight.
Zach’s face during the pooping part I can’t 😂 not laughing at her experience, just laughing at the amazing facial reaction. Very happy to hear she is okay
It doesn’t matter that she “hasn’t ate” all day. She has always just barely chewed her food. That crazy kielbasa & potato slice mukbang comes to mind. She was stuffing slabs of potato in her mouth and basically swallowed them whole. This was only a matter of time.
that's what came to my mind also. i have been surprised that not many people are talking about that. i remember watching that video and getting anxiety because of the way she was eating, i was so worried she would choke. it truly was a matter of time. i hope she stops eating that way because it will happen again if she doesn't.
I don't watch her content outside of Zach's videos or occasional compilation videos (and I don't often remember them much anyways), but whenever I do see content including her eating, I'm just flabbergasted at how BIG of bites she takes and how quickly. I feel like my family eats pretty quickly, but this is just another level!
Not eating all day allows her to eat like a snake..I dont understand. It's how she probably always eats. It feels like she doesnt even enjoy the food because she doesn't chew or feel it on her tongue etc..
people have been especially hard on you lately, but I just want to let you know that there are plenty of us out here who really appreciate the way you approach ALRs content. While I might not always agree with everything you say, I find your takes the most enjoyable of all the reaction channels I watch. I love that you rely on proof when it comes to her drama (because thats what I think about too)- you talk about the various conspiracy theories and give your opinion on what theory *you* agree with, but you respect that others may disagree. And when there IS proof- if its a more serious topic you either give your input, or explain why you wont give input. If you dont give input, im usually a little bummed, but I almost always respect your reasoning. For the rest of ALRs life thats not so serious, your commentary is hilarious! To me, its the perfect combo. I wish everyone could see how rational you are, but like you say- everyone can have their own opinions. And in the meantime I'll try not to get too heated defending you. I could keep going, but I've already done a terrible job at keeping it brief lol- TLDR thanks for being you 😘
I completely agree with you! I have never understood why ALR has such disdain for Zach, when he's the nicest out of anyone I've ever seen react to her! He is the only one who doesn't judge her for her size, but she doesn't see that, she chooses to listen to people in her DMs trying to stir up drama. It's so weird. 🤷🏻♀️
@@T2C47 Fr though. He doesn’t comment on things that are possibly out of her control, he concedes that she deserves the benefit of the doubt on things that don’t have proof (because that’s literally how fairness works), and he genuinely looks out for her I think. He’s compliments her and gives her constructive criticism. Does she deserve it? No. But he does it because we’re all human and none of us normal people actually want to see her die. But she can’t handle the honest feedback so she has to say she hates him and refuses to watch, otherwise she’d have to admit to listening to him Edit: sorry for being so wordy. It’s just been frustrating seeing everyone attack Zach for doing the exact thing that he’s letting them do- have a different opinion lol
Sometimes I think it gets to a point where people only want to watch creators who are very mean and basically bully amberlynn the entire time. While I completely agree she's not a very good person, I still enjoy how Zach comments on her videos and still treats her as human and isn't just straight up being a bully about her size/looks the entire time.
She ate take out 2 times in the month and almost dying was one of those meals. Gotta give her credit for losing 1 pound in a month. Nobody is as special as our girl.
@@stard9864 I don't know her situation, but that does seem more difficult. But idk. Maybe it's to get her used to it, because that might be what she has to do after WLS.
“Amber doesn’t understand anything unless it’s happened to her” is soooo true. Someone asked her on her Insta Q&As recently how she feels about being part of the LGBTQIA+ community in Kentucky and she was like ‘I’ve never had any issues 🤷🏻♀️’. The ignorance is astounding
oh my god, honestly.. as another queer in KY, the types of things that occur in this state are absolutely heinous. (Even the things that occur in Lexington ALONE)
@@ispeakelvish love from ca!! i’m a gay trans guy and WOOF, it’s BAD here and it feels like outside the state everyone thinks cali is a total gay paradise lol. most of that is concentrated to the big cities, it’s actually pretty red in the more rural/suburban places (where i live). if it’s bad here where that attitude is generally frowned upon i can’t imagine what you guys must go through in a place that isn’t accepting. keep your head up because you’re incredible just how you are and no asshole bigot can change that. hope you’re well ❤
@@ispeakelvish I mean, it's not just ignorance. It's also privilege. She's white. She's financially well off at this point in her life. She doesn't work in a traditional office. She barely leaves the house. And she has limited friends and family. At the end of the day, ALR rarely cares about anyone beyond herself to truly have empathy for those who aren't her or to recognize why it is she hasn't had any problems.
The “cutting off the string of life” metaphor reminds me of the animated Disney version of Hercules where the fates cut your string when you die lol. Zach, your renditions of the walking music always make my day. 😂
What I don't understand is why didn't Jade call 911, like her mom did when she was choking on a Lifesaver? And they gave her a teddy bear firefighter and she named the teddy bear Lifesaver. And she was in the newspaper because of that. Because a little girl choked on candy. Whole front page. Member that video? Member? Because I'm sure Amber forgot all about that bullshit story.
Saw her on a older video when she lived with Becky and Eric, she was eating a huge potato and sausage, she was shoving a big piece of potato into her mouth , she had to push it in with her fingers. She doesn't chew, even before her hysterectomy she can't blame ruining her teeth by over brushing. She hasn't stopped overeating, I don't see her surgeon doing surgery is he's watching her videos, she needs inpatient treatment like Tammy Slaton did.
I was wondering how she could even fit a piece of food that big in her mouth. Also potatoes are pretty soft when they're cooked, am I crazy to think it's weird that's the food she choked on?
@@ShaCaro Idk, I've never had a hard fully cooked potato, yam, sweet potato, taro root, parsnip, ube, carrot, sunchoke, burdock, or any other root vegetable. But maybe there's a way to cook them where they don't get too soft. I guess if you fry them the outside is crispy, but inside is soft. Maybe I am crazy. It's possible to choke on anything really, I'm just saying in my eyes a potato is kinda soft and malleable, not like a chunk of meat. Of course I almost drown from a sip of sprite once so I'm one to talk. I truly thought that was the end.
@@animatorstanley she said it was a seafood boil so the potato is pretty soft. I can only imagine that she was eating so fast that that’s what caused it.
I would never unsubscribe from you solely because I disagree. That’s just me, personally. I think we all make mistakes or have people misunderstand us. You’re great about clearing up anything that has been offensive to people. You can’t please everyone bestie. 🤷🏾♀️
The choking story didn't happen... Everything she said is part of a scene in the movie The Whale. Everything... the choking, the "too big to be saved." The losing control of the bowels and "puking out" the food... It's all there in the movie. She watched this movie and thought this would be the perfect story to use to distract from the Destiny situation.
I knew it sounded familiar 😂 no but the nurse/friend actually did the Heimlich maneuver the right way for someone that size. Faline needs to go back to training wouldn’t want her patient to code on her.
Amber said "something happened but I'm not ready to talk about it" a month or so ago, and at the mo I'm too lazy to check the time-line, but I theorize she said that around the time Destiny came back and kept this in her back pocket to throw at us if Destiny's tea got too hot. Because what a time to tell us this story, humiliate yourself online so we forget what your ex says you did to get and get family
Possible, but this suggests that Amberlynn managed to find her 'self-awareness bone,' which requires so much suspension of disbelief that the lamp is just *gone* past the mesosphere. Far more likely that this whole deal was an ill-fated attempt to garner sympathy. Which not only did she fail, as everyone is laughing at her, but also people can focus their attention on two things at once--And now people are aware of the things she did to Destiny and her family, *and also* people are laughing at the gorl who choked on a piece of potato and shidded and farded in her breeches.
I started watching Amberlynn when i started university. Last week i passed my last exam after 6 years study and gonna start working after summer. While amberlynn has just... idk... changed gf's.
@@UptownLexi 100% and not allowing yourself to get super hungry bc you'll overeat to compensate and if you overeat regularly you'll stretch the pouch. I literally had to set an alarm every couple hours to prompt me to eat regularly in the first several months after recovery
Am I trippin? 😂 I could’ve sworn she told a story many years ago about choking on a Lifesaver? And 911 was called? And she got a stuffed bear or something from the medics and named it Lifesaver? Either way, I’m really glad she’s okay - love you, Zach! ❤
Someone else showed this video clip in a short so no you are definitely not crazy. She claimed at the time that she choked then and she was only 4. Can't remember that lie while telling another though!
….how did she choke on a LIFESAVER?? They were literally designed (and named) to prevent that. That hole in the middle is to ensure that air can still get through if it gets lodged in someone’s throat.
I’m not surprised that she choked, I’m only surprised that it hasn’t happened sooner. The bites she takes are outrageous…the potato and sausage mukbang is a prime example.
If she was a responsible person, she would have provided links to information on how to provide emergency assistance to people who are choking. There's more to it than she described for larger people or people who are pregnant.
Yeah, I looked it up. You push on their chest, at least with people who are severely overweight. She also didn’t describe normal lifesaving aid correctly.
Seriously! A simple google search says for obese people to do the Heimlich on the lower chest, under the breast bone, rather than around the abdomen. Unless wifey has 2 inch arms she could have done it that way, instead of slapping her back. That's only done with infants. Smhhhhhhh don't trust doctor emt ambulance lynn
bringing up her mom and not seeing her for a long time is purely for us to enter this story with sympathy for her. the way she's always got to throw in some extra manipulation cuts my invisible chord of life.
While I understood you from the beginning Zach about your pov I really admire that you still take the time to acknowledge where you may have caused confusion and explain further 💕
Losing 4 lbs as a 528 lb woman means she needed to lose .0075% of her weight. A 150 lb person would have to lose about 1.1lbs for perspective 😮 that’s basically just daily fluctuations for most ppl 😳
I had a near-death experience when I was 18, and immediately after I was out of hospital, I used my new gratitude for life to recover from my ED and actively change my life. I truly hope Amber uses this experience to do the same. Also “not the earthworm!!” had me in tears 😂😂
My partner was throwing up, and he couldn't get a breath in, so he passed out and hit his head. It was terrifying. He's a foot taller than me, and although he isn't that heavy, I just couldn't get him rolled into the recover position. He came to with me screaming at him to breathe, and I just started sobbing when I realised he was ok because it was so scary.
😟😢 I would've been traumatized by that too. I'm tearing up hearing you describe that cause I couldn't imagine losing my partner like that. Just unexpected, and while their sick to begin with. 💚
@@Kerousmac It was so terrifying, anytime he gets sick now (unfortunately because of health problems is frequently) I still just freeze. It has never happened since though, and he is doing ok x
@@lightningbug276 its used to stop people aspirating their vomit. So you are supposed to get them on their side with their leg bent. If you look it up it will demonstrate it better, but its important for drunk people as well because they can throw up and choke
You can absolutely do a version of the Heimlich Maneuver on an obese individual, and fun fact you can even do a version of it on yourself if you’re alone, though it’s more difficult to follow through on emergency response for yourself when you’re in a crisis situation. It is clear that neither Feline nor Amberlynn had any idea what they were doing in that situation and she’s extremely lucky that she didn’t die because you definitely don’t beat on a choking individual’s back and hope for the best. They should really consider taking a class or even just watching a couple UA-cam instructional videos for future reference. Bare minimum.
Agreed. As a carer I had a 6ft4 gentleman choke with me while i was alone. Ppl dont realise the force you have to use i ended up injured but thankfully the guy was fine.
Someone called her out that she already shared a choking story when she was a child and traumatically choked on a life saver, so much so she was in the news paper…
As an FYI: for us overeaters and people with unhealthy eating habits, many of us go through the same thing of not chewing properly and swallowing food almost whole. It’s the sensory of it all. This is why when getting WLS they want you to “relearn” how to eat. Chewing minimum 30 times before swallowing. I feel her. Just look at how the people on the 600lb life eat, it’s the same.
I appreciate you caring enough about your audience to clarify things, I personally didn’t take anything bad from your video but that’s just me. I also feel like I’ve watched you long enough to know you always take accountability for things you feel you need to. Great video ❤
The fact that shes trying to say anyone elses choking experience is not as bad as hers. Or the fact that she is saying that partial choking isnt a valid form of choking and your scary experience means nothing because it wasnt "full blown" choking.
I enjoy you as a person and appreciate you ☺️ you got me through some very lonely lunch breaks at a toxic job. Sounds silly - but it felt like I had a friend with me that I could laugh with when I felt super low. You’re great - remember that! ❤️
I worked in such a place for over two years and one day I decided: I can stay and become a mental health disaster, or I can say goodbye and search for something new. I chose the latter - it took me half a year to find a normal job and I’ve never been happier. I wish the same for you because working like that is as if there was poison being poured into your heart and mind… I hope it will get better or you find something new too, it is possible
I choked on a piece of sausage once. Tried to get water and I couldn't even swallow, it just splashed right out. Thankfully my mom's a nurse and was nearby. She did the heimlich and screamed for my younger sister (who was upstairs) to get my older sister so she could help or call 911. They both were useless as my older sister is a bitc* and my younger sister just sat on the stairs and cried, from older sister snapping at her. I almost lost consciousness before my mom finally got the food dislodged. So. That was fun. I wasn't scared, I was more pissed at my sisters. And felt bad for my mom who was clearly getting more and more scared. But yeah not fun. And now I don't talk to either of my sisters anymore because the self-absorbed uselessness never got any better. And that is my choking story, thanks for reading lol.
I also have a self-absorbed useless sister! I was once slipping off the top bunk and called her to help - she was right there - and she continued brushing her hair and let me fall and put my foot through a window. I also don’t speak to her anymore.
@@animatorstanley I was really thankful that she was nearby and not already getting ready for work. Everyone would have been upstairs unable to hear my...well, I don't think I could even make a sound. But I am glad to be here. :)
@@lisarae7823 I choked on a hard candy once and my two friends kept walking. They realized what happened and ran to me wanting to help. They kept hitting my back which hurt but didn't help. I had to hit my own diaphragm to get it out. We were like 13/14 tho and i can hold my breath for a while. It's scary in the moment but all I can remember was wanting them to stop hitting me. Before that my baby nephew was choking and all I did was freak out and call my sister. I felt so bad bc I was feeding him.
I wish some people who watch your videos not only think critically, but realize that you're a *fair* reactor. Despite your teasing, you're not going to demonize Amberlynn every chance that you get, nor are you going to paint Amberlynn's victims as totally blameless angels. That doesn't mean you think Amberlynn didn't do the things her exes accused her of.
I can speak to the ptsd element. I get anxious listening to her tell this story because it takes me right back to several years ago when I choked on chicken while eating with my partner and his mom. I was wearing a dress and he lifted it up to landmark to do abdominal thrusts. He saved my life. I barfed in his mom’s kitchen sink. And I was annoyed that his mom saw my underwear 😂 I still have anxiety when eating alone. For the record, once someone is unconscious from choking, you do regular old cpr (and blind finger sweeps are no longer advised). Worth taking a class! You never know when I lived one might need you to save them! Also, there’s an element of truth to being too big for Heimlich. You need to be able to get your arms all the way around and be able to do a forceful abdominal thrust. If someone is pregnant or too big, you do chest thrusts instead. I expect it’s as effective, but I haven’t seen the research on that. I’m not a cpr expert. I’m a healthcare worker and re-take various lifesaving courses yearly (since 2002!!). The research on best practices changes every few years, and one of the best things you can do for your loved ones is take basic lifesaving courses and renew them every few years. 😄
@@Rylinabee interesting. Maybe it’s just different where I am. In Canada the guideline is that if a person is choking and loses consciousness, you begin cpr. You don’t wait for them to lose their pulse. Could easily be different in different jurisdictions. By all means, follow the guidelines of your area.
It always makes me laugh so much when you do the “walking music”!! In my head I was also picturing the animations you previously did of Chantel along to that music 😂
I am extremely glad she is ok! That honestly does sound like a terrifying experience and I’m super glad Wifey was there. I hope she takes this to her therapist, I don’t know that her UA-cam channel is the wisest place to bring it. 😶
I take chocking very seriously. I read something once that people often get embarrassed when choking and won’t admit when their life is in danger. Just something to look out for 👑❤️
I mean if you're truely choking there's no admiting to be done. Choking is like drowning surprisingly quiet but visually you can tell. If you're actually choking you're not going to be able to hide it long because you reflexively start flapping or moving your hands and arms. Think of the last time you took a bite of food that burnt your mouth, you started flapping your hands right? Did you consciously think flap your hands or did your body just to that? I know i didn't think about it yet there i was flapping my hands around, banging on the table. Also, the lips start turning blue or purple. I can't imagine anyone really choking can even thing about being embarrassed with the alarm bells screaming in their ears for air.
@@Ali_D_Katt but some people walk away from the table/ room, probably likely to happen in a restaurant or public spaces like that. Like idk someone at an important business dinner might remove themselves from the situation very quickly and silently and that’s what you need to look out for. I’ve heard of this for sure before
The main reason I don’t believe her about Potato incident is she wasn’t crying while talking about it. She always cries when it comes to anything about her dying or something she was actually scared of lol
Great video. If she's being honest about choking I sincerely hope she takes more time to chew. I choked one time and it was the scariest moment of my life. I was almost afraid to eat for weeks after it.
Same. I choked on salad (what a way to go 🙃) and it freaked me out so bad I had a different sort of panic attack than my usual and I was wondering if I had a stroke (thanks, WebMD!) and went to the clinic around the corner. Fun stuff. I lived off smoothies and coffee for a bit.
A girl in my ED group developed atypical anorexia after she nearly died choking. She was terrified to eat any solid food and didn’t for several years. Anything thicker than chocolate milk would terrify her. Poor thing.
2.5-3lbs in a month, at her weight, is not "trying". Like, at all, imho. That said, she had better start now & get used to having teeny portions, cutting everything up into very small pieces. After taking 1 bite, putting the fork down, chewing the heck out of it THEN picking up the fork again. Takes a long time to eat very little (which is why she will end up 'eating' up to 6x/day) Also, tiny sips & no carbonation + no drinking of anything at least 20 min before, DURING or 20 min after eating anything. Definitely no pasta, soft bread, rice or anything that might swell/get stuck. THAT is gastric bypass post op & I still have to do it 20 yrs later OR.... extreme nausea, chest/abdominal pain, ears ringing, room spinning, cold sweats for up to half hr or until the food passes into my digestive system. She will learn REAL quickly if she doesn't start doing that now, trust. The healthier she can get before surgery, the more she can shrink a fatty liver, etc... the easier it will be on her for surgery & esp after.
If you're a bigger person or if you're alone you can use a chair to dislodge food if you're choking. The back of the chair you lean into it and push the top of the back of the chair at the top of your tummy and under your rib cage. Give it a bit of force and it can force the food out.
Zach, I was washing the dishes listening to you in the background and then out of the blue was the pooping herself comment. I was so hilariously shocked, I looked over at my phone and you had the exact same, mouth wide open, shocked expression as myself, it was a hilarious moment and I'm glad you shared it with me in spirit 😂😂
Just took a CPR class a few days ago and brought up Amber's video. No to the blind sweep for a choking person, only if it's visible and you can get it out easy.
I am from Australia but I know that the Heinrich manover is no longer taught is many western countries. During first aid courses that back striking motion that amber Lynn described is now taught regardless of the size of the person
Wow, what a surprise. Since 2006 you're supposed to start with 5 back blows and then do abdominal thrusts. Apparently Dr. Heimlich there did a long long campaign against what he called Death Blows, the back slapping 😂 He even funded a study in the '80s that showed back blows could do more harm to a choking victim than good. But in truth, there is no valid scientific evidence to prove that back blows are any better, or worse, than the Heimlich maneuver.
Interesting. Our standards say 5 back stricking motions with check in after each, then Heimlich maneuver (max 5 tries), then alternate between the two. Heimlich maneuver seems to have a bit of a, uhm, fun history, lol
I think it's also a glimpse into how much more therapy she probably needs. I fully believe some of her food issues likely stem from her childhood trauma. I'm sure food insecurity was a real thing for her at times. Growing up poor, in foster care, and/or with addict parents are often in the backstory of many 500+ pound people. It's going to be dangerous if she doesn't get better about chewing before she has WLS. She needs to get to the root of why she eats like that.
i stopped watching other reaction channels like Charlie Gold once I discovered you because I’ve always felt that you are able to convey your criticisms and opinions respectfully & tend to try to see the other side of things. A lot of other reactors are set on everything Amberlynn or others do as ALWAYS being negative but Zach can at least acknowledge that things might be interpreted different than the original poster actually meant. I hate when people clearly misspeak or use vague terms & people immediately assume that they’re saying the worst to stir up drama. Zach is by far the kindest & most empathetic of reactors I’ve came across. ❤️ semi-long term viewer (3ish years) & not going anywhere anytime soon!
I saw a comment on an obese to beast video about this that said something along the lines of "if she chews that fast shes not ready for wls" and i couldnt have said it better myself
as someone who forgets to eat VERY often, the choking story is relatable. last week, I inhaled a piece of jalapeño. it burned. 😂 I also had to learn to take smaller bites and chew more. I sometimes use an interval timer to focus on chewing more. it's crazy.
@@BeckBeckGoWhen you're busy all day and eating isn't really a priority for you (it's a bad thing I know) you sometimes forget to eat until it's to late and you're starving so you eat fast, that's not deliberate it just happens
Zack, it's hard to reach your arms around someone Amber's size to do the heimlich. If you can't reach all the way around her waist at belly button level you can't do it. A nurse said you can do it higher up on the ribs where the person is probably smaller. There's a different technique for it so you'll have to look it up. You can heimleich yourself over the back of a chair or using the edge of a counter under your ribs if you're alone. About her weigh in- If you look it up the heaviest weight ALR should be at 5'2" is 130#. She's exactly 4 TIMES HEAVIER THAN SHE SHOULD BE! So to compare her 3# weight-loss to someone with a healthy bmi, it's the equivalent of a healthy woman losing 0.75#. I mean, DAMN!
I’ve been dying!! to say that the heimlich maneuver is out dated. Hitting people on the back as they are bent over is the better way. This information has had me in a chokehold!!! Also Zach, emptying the mouth and then doing CPR is correct 👍
It's really nice what you had to say at the beginning. Accountability for things in your content that might be taken a certain way is a rare thing to see with content creators. I'm new to the channel but I really enjoy the type of person you seem to be.
What Amberlynn is describing, waiting all day to eat and then having it all in one sitting, is a binge. That’s why doctors will tell you to have small mess throughout the day.
And if I’m not mistaken, I think she said seafood boils were one of her favorite binge meals before she decided she doesn’t have BED
right? I'm in recovery from BED and this sounds verbatim like what I used to do in the peak of my ED. and I'm barely half her size
This right here
Back when I really struggled with my own eating issues, I wouldn't eat in front of people and then I would have giant meals as soon as I was alone.
@BigBootyTrudie yeah,,, FUCK i hate it when i have to say something that might justify amber but since i started really taking control of my life in regards to my eating habits and weight i find myself to not be that hungry anymore. i mainly ate during the day out of boredom. now that i eat based on actual hunger cues i’m not hungry until i get home from work and a 800kcal meal and a nice dessert is more than enough for me. a whole ass seafood boil to herself is very different of course but a big meal at the end of the day isn’t ALWAYS a binge
edit: whoops! just realized my wording may sound like was disagreeing with you. i just wanted to support your omad argument with my own anecdotal experience if my intent wasn’t clear lol
Not the, "I choked and pooped my pants" to deflect from her ex's all exposing her for being abusive af. Love that for her. 🥔💩
Interesting... 🤔
That was her weight lose.
Exactly
Also: "I pooped my pants. Cakegate, who?"
I said the same thing! She came out with this story to try and distract from Destiny spilling the tea on her! 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
My partner choked on food in the middle of the night when he had gotten up with our baby. It was so terrifying for him that any time he ate he thought he was choking and he couldn’t eat. He ended up losing around 40 pounds in only a few months and he had to go see a specialist. Years later he still has times when he’s anxious while eating. Amberlynn gatekeeping a choking experience is just beyond flabbergasting, like no other person has experienced fear like she has. Truly we do not know anything like our gorl does, we should be lucky she shares such vulnerabilities with us since we just have no idea what it’s like.
As a kid I choked on one of those red and white peppermint candies, a complete airway upstruction, and I couldn't eat those stupid mints again for like 25 years before I even DARED try (just to try and get over the fear) and now that I have kiddos I'm so paranoid of giving them round chokable foods. I squish blueberries and peas, I cut hotdocts into quarters the long way, ect.
Choking is fucking terrifying
I almost choked as a kid one time because I didn’t have a drink with my food (food was dry af) I refuse to eat now without a drink nearby.
My windpipe closed up 2018 and I ended up getting a awake tracheostomy. The feeling of not breathing is traumatizing, therapy doesn't work and when I have to get a change trach I have to take medicine just to relax enough. It's no joke.
God, you're right with ALR totally gatekeeping food-related trauma. For me, specifically, I can't ever eat small scad again after getting a bout of terrible stomach flu and violent vomiting after a dinner of those fried fish. *Anyway,* point is that despite potatogate, it does not seem as if it's at all affected her eating habits, eh?
You don’t have to be “paying attention” to chew your food. Most of us are capable of watching Netflix and chewing at the same time.
Seems like she couldn’t even chew gum and walk at the same time
i brought tht up to my bf and he said he also has 2 pay attention or he chokes lol maybe its like a thing some ppl have
I have to pay attention when I eat or I will devour food way too fast. My partner has to sometimes remind me to set my utensils down and chew between each bite.
I’m not fat, but I exercise a lot and am pretty busy, so I have a huge appetite and am used to eating quickly. Everyone in my family is like this.
I am not defending amberlynn in any way but I have to disagree. I am someone who doesn't chew much a d with some food they do get stuck a bit and I have to remind myself to chew more. we exist...
Wow, more ppl than I thought actually do have to pay attention to chewing. I had no idea that was a thing 😆 Sorry guys, best of luck!
I love that she tries to frame gulping down food as a hereditary trait instead of just a thing she does lol
Yeah. You don't inherit being a glutton from your gene pool... 😂😂😂😂
I think there's something to said that some of her food issues might stem from how she grew up - poor addicts as parents and food insecurity can result in plenty of food hoarding and overeating. But she doesn't seem to recognize that's part of it.
Gorl… I was stunned!
idk I think she means it more like she learned it from her mom
@@clowncat9710 So she's blaming her mother now 😂😂😂 GORL
"I didn't expect her to take a Deedee MegaDooDoo. Oh my gooooooooood!" Thank you for a much needed laugh today, ZM. 😆💀
🥔 choking wake-up call didn't do shit to scare Amber straight; cancer, lyphedema, lipedema, not being able to walk 2 minutes without losing her breath; having a bedbound situation type deal didn't wake her up...nothing will. She'll wake up when she's 6ft under.
To be fair, lipedema is not a side effect of obesity, it’s a genetic and hormonal condition that does NOT cause obesity. But it DOES cause localized fat deposits that aren’t responsive to dietary changes or increased exercise.
Her size isn’t due to lipedema overall. It’s possible some parts of her body are experiencing this, but it’s not an overall obesity phenomenon.
@@BeckBeckGoshe has blamed both the lipedema and lyphedema on her not being able to keep to a regular diet, she has to eat over 2500 calories or something along those lines.
@@BeckBeckGo perhaps her hormones would be more stabilized if she wasn’t 6 times the size of a normal human
@@LegacyXJudah right, and this isn’t how lipedema presents. It’s better to think of it like a localized mass that grows despite dietary or exercise changes. Which isn’t what we’re seeing with ALR. Again, she may very well have it. But she ALSO eats enough to ensure the rest of her body catches up.
@@BeckBeckGo I don't think that she has Lipedema, she presents as having Lymphedema. I was diagnosed with Lipedema 5 years ago and have had it since puberty. She is using it as an excuse for not losing weight, however, she hasn't changed her diet to help reduce inflammation, she still eats lots of sodium.
The fact that she only managed to lose 3 lbs in a month is honestly amazing in its own right. Maybe our gorl is a medical miracle.
I lose that much with a good shit.
She could literally lose 3 lbs by takin a 💩
I honestly find that really befuddling. I'm straight sized and if I give it a conscious effort, I can loose two/three pounds a week.
So, she didn't meet her goal of 1 lb per week, she will not get approved for WLS. If she was following the eating plan given to her by the surgeon, she would be losing weight.
Its because she has lympho lypodema and when you have that you cant lose weight 😏
Zach’s face during the pooping part I can’t 😂 not laughing at her experience, just laughing at the amazing facial reaction. Very happy to hear she is okay
I’ve never seen him fall apart like that before
As usual he had the best reaction out of all of the reaction channels (that I watch at least)
@@cassiea13245678 yess that part😂😂❤
Well I'm laughing at her experience, just couldn't find my sympathy bone! I searched for hours
@@onlyflylikeabeetv it’s ok it didn’t happen anyways
It doesn’t matter that she “hasn’t ate” all day. She has always just barely chewed her food. That crazy kielbasa & potato slice mukbang comes to mind. She was stuffing slabs of potato in her mouth and basically swallowed them whole. This was only a matter of time.
Her terrible grammar just irks me so bad. 😒
She's very lucky it took this long for a choking incident to happen.
that's what came to my mind also. i have been surprised that not many people are talking about that. i remember watching that video and getting anxiety because of the way she was eating, i was so worried she would choke. it truly was a matter of time. i hope she stops eating that way because it will happen again if she doesn't.
I don't watch her content outside of Zach's videos or occasional compilation videos (and I don't often remember them much anyways), but whenever I do see content including her eating, I'm just flabbergasted at how BIG of bites she takes and how quickly. I feel like my family eats pretty quickly, but this is just another level!
Not eating all day allows her to eat like a snake..I dont understand. It's how she probably always eats. It feels like she doesnt even enjoy the food because she doesn't chew or feel it on her tongue etc..
people have been especially hard on you lately, but I just want to let you know that there are plenty of us out here who really appreciate the way you approach ALRs content. While I might not always agree with everything you say, I find your takes the most enjoyable of all the reaction channels I watch. I love that you rely on proof when it comes to her drama (because thats what I think about too)- you talk about the various conspiracy theories and give your opinion on what theory *you* agree with, but you respect that others may disagree. And when there IS proof- if its a more serious topic you either give your input, or explain why you wont give input. If you dont give input, im usually a little bummed, but I almost always respect your reasoning. For the rest of ALRs life thats not so serious, your commentary is hilarious! To me, its the perfect combo.
I wish everyone could see how rational you are, but like you say- everyone can have their own opinions. And in the meantime I'll try not to get too heated defending you. I could keep going, but I've already done a terrible job at keeping it brief lol- TLDR thanks for being you 😘
I completely agree with you! I have never understood why ALR has such disdain for Zach, when he's the nicest out of anyone I've ever seen react to her! He is the only one who doesn't judge her for her size, but she doesn't see that, she chooses to listen to people in her DMs trying to stir up drama. It's so weird. 🤷🏻♀️
@@T2C47 Fr though. He doesn’t comment on things that are possibly out of her control, he concedes that she deserves the benefit of the doubt on things that don’t have proof (because that’s literally how fairness works), and he genuinely looks out for her I think. He’s compliments her and gives her constructive criticism.
Does she deserve it? No. But he does it because we’re all human and none of us normal people actually want to see her die. But she can’t handle the honest feedback so she has to say she hates him and refuses to watch, otherwise she’d have to admit to listening to him
Edit: sorry for being so wordy. It’s just been frustrating seeing everyone attack Zach for doing the exact thing that he’s letting them do- have a different opinion lol
Sometimes I think it gets to a point where people only want to watch creators who are very mean and basically bully amberlynn the entire time. While I completely agree she's not a very good person, I still enjoy how Zach comments on her videos and still treats her as human and isn't just straight up being a bully about her size/looks the entire time.
Agreed!
She ate take out 2 times in the month and almost dying was one of those meals. Gotta give her credit for losing 1 pound in a month. Nobody is as special as our girl.
Our dainty gorl is losing weight
Wonder if the other take out was before or after🤔
I dont understand why they are allowing her to eat 6 times a day, we know she will ALLOW herself to binge those 6 times.
@@stard9864 I don't know her situation, but that does seem more difficult. But idk. Maybe it's to get her used to it, because that might be what she has to do after WLS.
“Amber doesn’t understand anything unless it’s happened to her” is soooo true. Someone asked her on her Insta Q&As recently how she feels about being part of the LGBTQIA+ community in Kentucky and she was like ‘I’ve never had any issues 🤷🏻♀️’. The ignorance is astounding
oh my god, honestly.. as another queer in KY, the types of things that occur in this state are absolutely heinous. (Even the things that occur in Lexington ALONE)
Textbook narcissist
@@ispeakelvish love from ca!! i’m a gay trans guy and WOOF, it’s BAD here and it feels like outside the state everyone thinks cali is a total gay paradise lol. most of that is concentrated to the big cities, it’s actually pretty red in the more rural/suburban places (where i live). if it’s bad here where that attitude is generally frowned upon i can’t imagine what you guys must go through in a place that isn’t accepting. keep your head up because you’re incredible just how you are and no asshole bigot can change that. hope you’re well ❤
She literally made a whole vlog about how she was hate crimed in Kentucky when someone stole her pride car magnet.
@@ispeakelvish I mean, it's not just ignorance. It's also privilege. She's white. She's financially well off at this point in her life. She doesn't work in a traditional office. She barely leaves the house. And she has limited friends and family. At the end of the day, ALR rarely cares about anyone beyond herself to truly have empathy for those who aren't her or to recognize why it is she hasn't had any problems.
I was honestly waiting for her to say ‘this happens to skinny people, skinny people choke all the time’
But also, no one has ever chocked like she has.
The “cutting off the string of life” metaphor reminds me of the animated Disney version of Hercules where the fates cut your string when you die lol.
Zach, your renditions of the walking music always make my day. 😂
YES! That’s exactly what I thought of too 😂
What's wrong with these scissors! 😂
What I don't understand is why didn't Jade call 911, like her mom did when she was choking on a Lifesaver?
And they gave her a teddy bear firefighter and she named the teddy bear Lifesaver.
And she was in the newspaper because of that.
Because a little girl choked on candy. Whole front page.
Member that video? Member?
Because I'm sure Amber forgot all about that bullshit story.
In my rememberance🤣
How many times has she made the front page of the paper? 2? 3?
Saw her on a older video when she lived with Becky and Eric, she was eating a huge potato and sausage, she was shoving a big piece of potato into her mouth , she had to push it in with her fingers. She doesn't chew, even before her hysterectomy she can't blame ruining her teeth by over brushing. She hasn't stopped overeating, I don't see her surgeon doing surgery is he's watching her videos, she needs inpatient treatment like Tammy Slaton did.
I was wondering how she could even fit a piece of food that big in her mouth. Also potatoes are pretty soft when they're cooked, am I crazy to think it's weird that's the food she choked on?
U got a link /name of the vid? 👀👀
@@animatorstanleypotatoes come in different variations, some of which don't become all that soft.
@@ShaCaro Idk, I've never had a hard fully cooked potato, yam, sweet potato, taro root, parsnip, ube, carrot, sunchoke, burdock, or any other root vegetable. But maybe there's a way to cook them where they don't get too soft. I guess if you fry them the outside is crispy, but inside is soft. Maybe I am crazy.
It's possible to choke on anything really, I'm just saying in my eyes a potato is kinda soft and malleable, not like a chunk of meat. Of course I almost drown from a sip of sprite once so I'm one to talk. I truly thought that was the end.
@@animatorstanley she said it was a seafood boil so the potato is pretty soft. I can only imagine that she was eating so fast that that’s what caused it.
In the beginning, po is staring at you as if you offended him. Whatever happened, I'm on Po's side.
Who isn’t always on Po’s side?❤
"Please don't force me to listen to that woman again!"
Zack's wearing a 'Cat's' shirt 👀
Of course Po is the one who I align myself with.
As Judy and Po’s lawyer I second this sentiment
Absolutely no one wants to skip around, Bestie. We're here to hear you!
I couldn't imagine skipping any part of a Zachary Mike video! 😂😁 💜
I would never unsubscribe from you solely because I disagree. That’s just me, personally. I think we all make mistakes or have people misunderstand us. You’re great about clearing up anything that has been offensive to people. You can’t please everyone bestie. 🤷🏾♀️
Exactly
People struggle to realize that other opinions exist and miscommunication happens. Sad that some people don't stick around for the clarification.
Applause
The choking story didn't happen... Everything she said is part of a scene in the movie The Whale. Everything... the choking, the "too big to be saved." The losing control of the bowels and "puking out" the food... It's all there in the movie.
She watched this movie and thought this would be the perfect story to use to distract from the Destiny situation.
Wait. I’ve not seen the movie but I NEED other people to weigh in on this theory
I knew it sounded familiar 😂 no but the nurse/friend actually did the Heimlich maneuver the right way for someone that size. Faline needs to go back to training wouldn’t want her patient to code on her.
Ain’t no way 💀💀💀
Yeah but this kind of thing is probably pretty common for fat people though.
Also, just FYI, if a big person is choking, wrap your arms higher up on the chest. You’ll get a better purchase and it’ll still work.
Amber said "something happened but I'm not ready to talk about it" a month or so ago, and at the mo I'm too lazy to check the time-line, but I theorize she said that around the time Destiny came back and kept this in her back pocket to throw at us if Destiny's tea got too hot. Because what a time to tell us this story, humiliate yourself online so we forget what your ex says you did to get and get family
Possible, but this suggests that Amberlynn managed to find her 'self-awareness bone,' which requires so much suspension of disbelief that the lamp is just *gone* past the mesosphere. Far more likely that this whole deal was an ill-fated attempt to garner sympathy. Which not only did she fail, as everyone is laughing at her, but also people can focus their attention on two things at once--And now people are aware of the things she did to Destiny and her family, *and also* people are laughing at the gorl who choked on a piece of potato and shidded and farded in her breeches.
I can't bring myself to sit down and watch a movie, but I can definitely watch an hour long Zachary Michael vid
Right?? I have a very weird attention span 😂
Me Too !
Same 😂
Sameeee!😂
Me too!!!
How fitting that Mr Potato joined us for the story about the evil Potato! 😂
😂
I started watching Amberlynn when i started university. Last week i passed my last exam after 6 years study and gonna start working after summer. While amberlynn has just... idk... changed gf's.
As someone who had weight loss surgery, if amber still cant eat regularly and chew her food thoroughly, she's not ready for weight loss surgery.
Omg yes, slowing down when you eat and chewing well seems to be an important part of recovery and maintenance.
@@UptownLexi 100% and not allowing yourself to get super hungry bc you'll overeat to compensate and if you overeat regularly you'll stretch the pouch. I literally had to set an alarm every couple hours to prompt me to eat regularly in the first several months after recovery
Am I trippin? 😂 I could’ve sworn she told a story many years ago about choking on a Lifesaver? And 911 was called? And she got a stuffed bear or something from the medics and named it Lifesaver? Either way, I’m really glad she’s okay - love you, Zach! ❤
Someone else showed this video clip in a short so no you are definitely not crazy. She claimed at the time that she choked then and she was only 4. Can't remember that lie while telling another though!
Facts and she was in the newspaper 🤗🤗🤗
@@GeMiniTheQueen yes!! That was it!
@@Shanoots1995 😂😂😂😂😂
….how did she choke on a LIFESAVER?? They were literally designed (and named) to prevent that. That hole in the middle is to ensure that air can still get through if it gets lodged in someone’s throat.
amberlynn fr the type of person who tries to gatekeep fcking CHOKING like come on girl please
Apparently I have never choked in the 20 something years of my life. Thank you Amberlynn for the re-education
@@AA-tv5gv but u could never choke like SHE has stop trying to hate on her!!!!!!! Don’t make any drawings about her trauma!!!!
I’m not surprised that she choked, I’m only surprised that it hasn’t happened sooner. The bites she takes are outrageous…the potato and sausage mukbang is a prime example.
I’ve never watched mukbang- grosses me out- now I’m curious, though!
@@UptownLexi I know what you mean, the noises make my skin crawl. I suggest if you’re going to watch any don’t wear earbuds 🤢
If she was a responsible person, she would have provided links to information on how to provide emergency assistance to people who are choking. There's more to it than she described for larger people or people who are pregnant.
Yeah, I looked it up. You push on their chest, at least with people who are severely overweight. She also didn’t describe normal lifesaving aid correctly.
Seriously! A simple google search says for obese people to do the Heimlich on the lower chest, under the breast bone, rather than around the abdomen. Unless wifey has 2 inch arms she could have done it that way, instead of slapping her back. That's only done with infants. Smhhhhhhh don't trust doctor emt ambulance lynn
Yeah she didn’t research it at all. I’m glad hitting her back worked for her but that’s not actually what is recommended at all
@@Chelseabee55 yeah isn't the hitting the back motion only used for babies?
@@jalapeno1119 the back slap can be used on anyone! it's the first method that should be used before the heimlich.
I just need Zach to know that every video I wait for him to say "Ya feel me Mr. KRABS!"
'You feel me NOW Mr Krabs'
@@lovefromaustralia6961 dammit 😂😂
"I've choked a few times on a few things soooo I'd like to think I'm a choking expert. " 😂❤
Need t-shirt that says “choking expert”
Hubby asleep next to me & I'm trying to hold in my hysterical laughing at your initial reaction to the poop potato part! LMAO!!!!
bringing up her mom and not seeing her for a long time is purely for us to enter this story with sympathy for her. the way she's always got to throw in some extra manipulation cuts my invisible chord of life.
While I understood you from the beginning Zach about your pov I really admire that you still take the time to acknowledge where you may have caused confusion and explain further 💕
gatekeeping choking is crazy
Losing 4 lbs as a 528 lb woman means she needed to lose .0075% of her weight. A 150 lb person would have to lose about 1.1lbs for perspective 😮 that’s basically just daily fluctuations for most ppl 😳
I had a near-death experience when I was 18, and immediately after I was out of hospital, I used my new gratitude for life to recover from my ED and actively change my life. I truly hope Amber uses this experience to do the same.
Also “not the earthworm!!” had me in tears 😂😂
My partner was throwing up, and he couldn't get a breath in, so he passed out and hit his head. It was terrifying. He's a foot taller than me, and although he isn't that heavy, I just couldn't get him rolled into the recover position. He came to with me screaming at him to breathe, and I just started sobbing when I realised he was ok because it was so scary.
😟😢 I would've been traumatized by that too. I'm tearing up hearing you describe that cause I couldn't imagine losing my partner like that. Just unexpected, and while their sick to begin with. 💚
@@Kerousmac It was so terrifying, anytime he gets sick now (unfortunately because of health problems is frequently) I still just freeze. It has never happened since though, and he is doing ok x
What is the recovery position?
@@lightningbug276 its used to stop people aspirating their vomit. So you are supposed to get them on their side with their leg bent. If you look it up it will demonstrate it better, but its important for drunk people as well because they can throw up and choke
Oh honey bless your heart. I can't imagine how scary that was.
You can absolutely do a version of the Heimlich Maneuver on an obese individual, and fun fact you can even do a version of it on yourself if you’re alone, though it’s more difficult to follow through on emergency response for yourself when you’re in a crisis situation. It is clear that neither Feline nor Amberlynn had any idea what they were doing in that situation and she’s extremely lucky that she didn’t die because you definitely don’t beat on a choking individual’s back and hope for the best. They should really consider taking a class or even just watching a couple UA-cam instructional videos for future reference. Bare minimum.
Agreed. As a carer I had a 6ft4 gentleman choke with me while i was alone. Ppl dont realise the force you have to use i ended up injured but thankfully the guy was fine.
Your facial expressions throughout this reaction video almost took me OUT! I was laughing so hard 😩😂 I really needed the laugh… thank you bestie!!
Someone called her out that she already shared a choking story when she was a child and traumatically choked on a life saver, so much so she was in the news paper…
"The woman was too stunned to speak" *spits out coffee* Gorl STAHHHHP 🤣🤣
As an FYI: for us overeaters and people with unhealthy eating habits, many of us go through the same thing of not chewing properly and swallowing food almost whole. It’s the sensory of it all. This is why when getting WLS they want you to “relearn” how to eat. Chewing minimum 30 times before swallowing. I feel her. Just look at how the people on the 600lb life eat, it’s the same.
34:06 I choked on a potato and shit my pants... 😳
I literally cannot stop Laughing right now!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I appreciate you caring enough about your audience to clarify things, I personally didn’t take anything bad from your video but that’s just me. I also feel like I’ve watched you long enough to know you always take accountability for things you feel you need to. Great video ❤
Wifey was like Hell NA! You are not dying before i have access to that banking account 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"What do you know about" is the equivalent of "That's what she said" and I love it
The fact that shes trying to say anyone elses choking experience is not as bad as hers. Or the fact that she is saying that partial choking isnt a valid form of choking and your scary experience means nothing because it wasnt "full blown" choking.
I enjoy you as a person and appreciate you ☺️ you got me through some very lonely lunch breaks at a toxic job. Sounds silly - but it felt like I had a friend with me that I could laugh with when I felt super low. You’re great - remember that! ❤️
I worked in such a place for over two years and one day I decided: I can stay and become a mental health disaster, or I can say goodbye and search for something new. I chose the latter - it took me half a year to find a normal job and I’ve never been happier. I wish the same for you because working like that is as if there was poison being poured into your heart and mind… I hope it will get better or you find something new too, it is possible
Zach referring to Po as his little 'un-chewed potato" .. 😆🤣
I choked on a piece of sausage once. Tried to get water and I couldn't even swallow, it just splashed right out. Thankfully my mom's a nurse and was nearby. She did the heimlich and screamed for my younger sister (who was upstairs) to get my older sister so she could help or call 911. They both were useless as my older sister is a bitc* and my younger sister just sat on the stairs and cried, from older sister snapping at her. I almost lost consciousness before my mom finally got the food dislodged. So. That was fun. I wasn't scared, I was more pissed at my sisters. And felt bad for my mom who was clearly getting more and more scared. But yeah not fun. And now I don't talk to either of my sisters anymore because the self-absorbed uselessness never got any better. And that is my choking story, thanks for reading lol.
Glad you're still around, good thing your mom knew what to do.
I also have a self-absorbed useless sister! I was once slipping off the top bunk and called her to help - she was right there - and she continued brushing her hair and let me fall and put my foot through a window. I also don’t speak to her anymore.
@@lornarettig3215 Ohh that's awful. Sorry that happened to you! I've fallen off a bunk bed when I was 6 or 7 and that pain is something else.
@@animatorstanley I was really thankful that she was nearby and not already getting ready for work. Everyone would have been upstairs unable to hear my...well, I don't think I could even make a sound. But I am glad to be here. :)
@@lisarae7823 I choked on a hard candy once and my two friends kept walking. They realized what happened and ran to me wanting to help. They kept hitting my back which hurt but didn't help. I had to hit my own diaphragm to get it out. We were like 13/14 tho and i can hold my breath for a while. It's scary in the moment but all I can remember was wanting them to stop hitting me.
Before that my baby nephew was choking and all I did was freak out and call my sister. I felt so bad bc I was feeding him.
"BAARRRR! Vlog" lives in my head rent free
That “the woman was too stunned to speak” moment was genius, I nearly spat out my food lmaoo
Your choice of words there is impeccable
“The woman was too stunned to speak” had me WEAAKKKK
The way you couldn't pay me to tell the internet I pooped my pants because I won't chew my food...
I'll never forget that this was when Wifey started making her emergency exit
"The lipedema doesn't want to go away no matter how much you diet"
No, the lipedema doesn't go away because you don't want to diet. It's even simpler
I wish some people who watch your videos not only think critically, but realize that you're a *fair* reactor. Despite your teasing, you're not going to demonize Amberlynn every chance that you get, nor are you going to paint Amberlynn's victims as totally blameless angels. That doesn't mean you think Amberlynn didn't do the things her exes accused her of.
I can speak to the ptsd element. I get anxious listening to her tell this story because it takes me right back to several years ago when I choked on chicken while eating with my partner and his mom. I was wearing a dress and he lifted it up to landmark to do abdominal thrusts. He saved my life. I barfed in his mom’s kitchen sink. And I was annoyed that his mom saw my underwear 😂 I still have anxiety when eating alone.
For the record, once someone is unconscious from choking, you do regular old cpr (and blind finger sweeps are no longer advised). Worth taking a class! You never know when I lived one might need you to save them!
Also, there’s an element of truth to being too big for Heimlich. You need to be able to get your arms all the way around and be able to do a forceful abdominal thrust. If someone is pregnant or too big, you do chest thrusts instead. I expect it’s as effective, but I haven’t seen the research on that.
I’m not a cpr expert. I’m a healthcare worker and re-take various lifesaving courses yearly (since 2002!!). The research on best practices changes every few years, and one of the best things you can do for your loved ones is take basic lifesaving courses and renew them every few years. 😄
@@Rylinabee interesting. Maybe it’s just different where I am. In Canada the guideline is that if a person is choking and loses consciousness, you begin cpr. You don’t wait for them to lose their pulse. Could easily be different in different jurisdictions. By all means, follow the guidelines of your area.
It always makes me laugh so much when you do the “walking music”!! In my head I was also picturing the animations you previously did of Chantel along to that music 😂
Zach takes more accountability in six minutes than Amber did in ten years
I am extremely glad she is ok! That honestly does sound like a terrifying experience and I’m super glad Wifey was there. I hope she takes this to her therapist, I don’t know that her UA-cam channel is the wisest place to bring it. 😶
Mostly just distracted by how shiny ✨ your hair is looking. Queen 👑
I take chocking very seriously. I read something once that people often get embarrassed when choking and won’t admit when their life is in danger. Just something to look out for 👑❤️
I mean if you're truely choking there's no admiting to be done. Choking is like drowning surprisingly quiet but visually you can tell. If you're actually choking you're not going to be able to hide it long because you reflexively start flapping or moving your hands and arms. Think of the last time you took a bite of food that burnt your mouth, you started flapping your hands right? Did you consciously think flap your hands or did your body just to that? I know i didn't think about it yet there i was flapping my hands around, banging on the table. Also, the lips start turning blue or purple. I can't imagine anyone really choking can even thing about being embarrassed with the alarm bells screaming in their ears for air.
@@Ali_D_Katt but some people walk away from the table/ room, probably likely to happen in a restaurant or public spaces like that. Like idk someone at an important business dinner might remove themselves from the situation very quickly and silently and that’s what you need to look out for. I’ve heard of this for sure before
you are always so eloquent when you explain your point of view on gorl world and i constantly live for it. will always keep tuning in 💖
The main reason I don’t believe her about Potato incident is she wasn’t crying while talking about it. She always cries when it comes to anything about her dying or something she was actually scared of lol
The way she describes it is just so weird 💀
Great video. If she's being honest about choking I sincerely hope she takes more time to chew. I choked one time and it was the scariest moment of my life. I was almost afraid to eat for weeks after it.
Same, when I was younger I choked on a jolly rancher and it's been over 10 years and I still don't eat hard candy
I choked on a potato too funny enough, at the dinner table with my family and it was terrifying
Same. I choked on salad (what a way to go 🙃) and it freaked me out so bad I had a different sort of panic attack than my usual and I was wondering if I had a stroke (thanks, WebMD!) and went to the clinic around the corner. Fun stuff. I lived off smoothies and coffee for a bit.
A girl in my ED group developed atypical anorexia after she nearly died choking. She was terrified to eat any solid food and didn’t for several years. Anything thicker than chocolate milk would terrify her. Poor thing.
I choked on a McDonald's fry. To this day years later I can't eat one. I lost 50 pounds the year I choked it scared me so badly.
2.5-3lbs in a month, at her weight, is not "trying". Like, at all, imho. That said, she had better start now & get used to having teeny portions, cutting everything up into very small pieces. After taking 1 bite, putting the fork down, chewing the heck out of it THEN picking up the fork again. Takes a long time to eat very little (which is why she will end up 'eating' up to 6x/day) Also, tiny sips & no carbonation + no drinking of anything at least 20 min before, DURING or 20 min after eating anything. Definitely no pasta, soft bread, rice or anything that might swell/get stuck. THAT is gastric bypass post op & I still have to do it 20 yrs later OR.... extreme nausea, chest/abdominal pain, ears ringing, room spinning, cold sweats for up to half hr or until the food passes into my digestive system. She will learn REAL quickly if she doesn't start doing that now, trust. The healthier she can get before surgery, the more she can shrink a fatty liver, etc... the easier it will be on her for surgery & esp after.
If you're a bigger person or if you're alone you can use a chair to dislodge food if you're choking. The back of the chair you lean into it and push the top of the back of the chair at the top of your tummy and under your rib cage. Give it a bit of force and it can force the food out.
“Well that’s more of like a vibe and a concept” I’ve never related to an explanation more in my life may the furby gods bless you Zach 😇👼🏻
It’s unbelievable how long it takes for her to tell a story, holy shit
Always right on time when I need to be distracted and of course, a laugh! Thank you Zach😊
Perfect timing like always!❤
Zach, I was washing the dishes listening to you in the background and then out of the blue was the pooping herself comment. I was so hilariously shocked, I looked over at my phone and you had the exact same, mouth wide open, shocked expression as myself, it was a hilarious moment and I'm glad you shared it with me in spirit 😂😂
Just took a CPR class a few days ago and brought up Amber's video. No to the blind sweep for a choking person, only if it's visible and you can get it out easy.
I am from Australia but I know that the Heinrich manover is no longer taught is many western countries. During first aid courses that back striking motion that amber Lynn described is now taught regardless of the size of the person
Same. Im from australia and they specifically told us in my cpr course not to do the heimlich haha
Wow, what a surprise.
Since 2006 you're supposed to start with 5 back blows and then do abdominal thrusts.
Apparently Dr. Heimlich there did a long long campaign against what he called Death Blows, the back slapping 😂
He even funded a study in the '80s that showed back blows could do more harm to a choking victim than good. But in truth, there is no valid scientific evidence to prove that back blows are any better, or worse, than the Heimlich maneuver.
Interesting. Our standards say 5 back stricking motions with check in after each, then Heimlich maneuver (max 5 tries), then alternate between the two. Heimlich maneuver seems to have a bit of a, uhm, fun history, lol
I’ve been so looking forward to this. Hope you had a great trip and happy Monday bestie!
Same ❤
😂😂😂 I’ve been waiting for your authentic reaction to the poop potatoes. 😂😂😂
I feel like eating your food so quickly that you actually inhale your food should be a part of B.E.D.
I think it's also a glimpse into how much more therapy she probably needs. I fully believe some of her food issues likely stem from her childhood trauma. I'm sure food insecurity was a real thing for her at times. Growing up poor, in foster care, and/or with addict parents are often in the backstory of many 500+ pound people. It's going to be dangerous if she doesn't get better about chewing before she has WLS. She needs to get to the root of why she eats like that.
Not eating all day and inhaling food is...
i stopped watching other reaction channels like Charlie Gold once I discovered you because I’ve always felt that you are able to convey your criticisms and opinions respectfully & tend to try to see the other side of things. A lot of other reactors are set on everything Amberlynn or others do as ALWAYS being negative but Zach can at least acknowledge that things might be interpreted different than the original poster actually meant. I hate when people clearly misspeak or use vague terms & people immediately assume that they’re saying the worst to stir up drama. Zach is by far the kindest & most empathetic of reactors I’ve came across. ❤️ semi-long term viewer (3ish years) & not going anywhere anytime soon!
An hour long video???!!! Bestie what did we do to deserve this 🎉
I saw a comment on an obese to beast video about this that said something along the lines of "if she chews that fast shes not ready for wls" and i couldnt have said it better myself
I’m sorry, pieces of air? Did I miss that unit of measurement in my primary school science classes?
You never fail to upload right when I need you 🤩🤩🤩
Hey Vienna! Thanks for watching!
Not the empathetic queen herself not understanding choking until it happened to her.
You couldn't have tortured that story out of me lol
“I’ve choked a few times on a few things…” 🤣🤣
as someone who forgets to eat VERY often, the choking story is relatable. last week, I inhaled a piece of jalapeño. it burned. 😂 I also had to learn to take smaller bites and chew more. I sometimes use an interval timer to focus on chewing more. it's crazy.
People who don’t eat enough don’t tend to gobble. A lot of your problem sounds very deliberate.
Also what does this have to do with her?
@@BeckBeckGo deliberate?? How is someone forgetting to eat and then eating too fast deliberate?
@@BeckBeckGoWhen you're busy all day and eating isn't really a priority for you (it's a bad thing I know) you sometimes forget to eat until it's to late and you're starving so you eat fast, that's not deliberate it just happens
@@TheSecondOne123 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I get that, I have to remind myself constantly and now after her story Im also shocked what can happen if I dont
The faces you're making this whole video are just golden
Zachary Michael...the original choking queen. Noel is a lucky man for sure.
alr “potatoes man..”
zach: “stop talkin bout ma dog 😎🤠”
Zack, it's hard to reach your arms around someone Amber's size to do the heimlich. If you can't reach all the way around her waist at belly button level you can't do it. A nurse said you can do it higher up on the ribs where the person is probably smaller. There's a different technique for it so you'll have to look it up. You can heimleich yourself over the back of a chair or using the edge of a counter under your ribs if you're alone.
About her weigh in- If you look it up the heaviest weight ALR should be at 5'2" is 130#. She's exactly 4 TIMES HEAVIER THAN SHE SHOULD BE! So to compare her 3# weight-loss to someone with a healthy bmi, it's the equivalent of a healthy woman losing 0.75#. I mean, DAMN!
I’ve been dying!! to say that the heimlich maneuver is out dated. Hitting people on the back as they are bent over is the better way. This information has had me in a chokehold!!! Also Zach, emptying the mouth and then doing CPR is correct 👍
Hey Zach, I’ve been really enjoying the livestreams on twitch! Keep it up!
Thanks Katie
THE TEARS IN UR EYES WHEN U WERE TRYING NOT TO LAUGH I CANTTT
It's really nice what you had to say at the beginning. Accountability for things in your content that might be taken a certain way is a rare thing to see with content creators. I'm new to the channel but I really enjoy the type of person you seem to be.
This was the moment when Wifey was like, "This is not for me."
" I've choked on a few things" had me dying. Love from the uk
Zach, I truly feel like you were very diplomatic and deductive with your reasons to believe or not believe Destiny.
