This nurse looks like she has a church bulletin in her purse, a husband who is active in the Kawanis club, and a killer recipe for Waldorf salad.

Celery, walnuts, apples, grapes! /Fawlty Towers

I think that now I need to hug Poor Irma and invite her to stay in my house

Nope, he said they left it with the trailer.

She actually reminds me of a family friend from when I was a kid. (Who we knew through church...though the daughter and I went to first grade together before they moved.)

Julian has lady boobs

I call those "moobs," as in man-boobs. His are exceptionally large.

Damn Straight!

Time Check:

13 minutes left and Dr. Now has taken nary a lab.  We know how this ends...

Fool me thrice?  I am the fool. :(

I have a Yankees cap...it's pink. :)

The D-Con commercial is hilarious!! I like mice, and I'm still laughing out loud.

[babyhouseman]

Last season, some shows ended with the people about to get the surgery. I wonder if there will be two parters.

He had been putting a foot on a step, then holding on and bringing the second foot up to the same step as the first, and repeating. It's the way small children climb stairs because their legs are too short to do it any other way

After my knee replacement, it was weeks before I could climb stairs like an adult. 

[7EasyPayments]

Plopping the guac in that Chipotle commercial is MOST unappetizing. LOL

[Eldemarge]

Nobody asked but I'm trying this new thing at night where I set a 20 min. timer after I eat dinner because I tended to just...keep eating, thinking I was still hungry.  So now, I sit here with the timer and don't eat for 20 min and after it beeps, if I'm still hungry, fine.  A bit more food.  Most of the time, though, I realize that I'm okay and I'm good with some tea or something.  I had a "eat all the cookies" at bedtime thing going on and I was getting concerned.

[poeticlicensed]

Holy crap its surgery time!

[umgoblue]

Wayment??!?!?  What the actually fuck.

How is he getting surgery...and with 8minutes left of the episode?  Eliminate the first hour and give us more.  This is bullshit.

Dr. Now won't even have time to fondle his 20pound stomach that was removed!!

She doesn't look like she's lost an ounce. If she was following the same diet she should have lost a lot of weight 

[CrazyInAlabama]

Was Chrystal from near San Diego the one with the roaches in the apartment?

So he's in the 600's, and getting surgery.    (I missed his current weight).  Irma looks so much better now.    With his gastric surgery, he needs his hernia fixed first, then the WLS, and Dr. Now is using the Da Vinci robot assist again.  

Was Irma napping?   She looks very sleepy.  

So the hernia fix was done, the gastric sleeve is done.

I do it that way going downward because knee surgery when I was 18 messed up my stability. I'm fine, I bike like a  fiend, I just have a wobbly knee.

Waldorf salad.

I was cat-sitting once and the boy kept stalking something in the walls. I mentioned it to my mom when she called to let me know they had gotten to their destination and she was like, "oh, yeah, daddy saw a mouse this morning."

 

[String Theory]

Is Irma high?

[Suzywriter]

I am diggin' the robot video game controller surgeon, DaVinci!

Julian is getting robotic surgery. Mr. Poetic had that to repair a hernia. Only had 3 tiny incisions in his abdomen. Super cool.

Waldorf salad is the best.

Well he isn’t in surgery with Dr, Death so he will be fine

She's tired. Surgery check in is at 5am, surgery starts at around 9. That means they were probably up at 3, and slept little from nerves. 

[babyhouseman]

Dr. Now and the robot sounds like a cool show.

[ams1001]

Why is she doing her makeup on the couch?

[Kid]

Irma looks bigger.

[MsVixen]

BLUE EYESHADOW!!!  WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, IRMA????

[umgoblue]

She's applying her make-up on a white couch.

[OoogleEyes]

Blue eyeshadow. Honey, no.

Did I miss something? What happened with his father-in-law?

He died. I don't think we know how.

What these fools never seem to realize is that dieting and losing weight means you're going to be hungry sometimes.

Well yeah - but being hungry is unpleasant. I can understand that it's hard to feel hunger and not eat.

Quote

I was at the dr a month ago and again yesterday and I lost 7 pounds from a combo of stress, physical exertion and not having time to eat. I think that's more normal than gaining 80 pounds 

I feel like I hear more about people stress eating and gaining weight (though not 80 pounds in a month) than I do about people losing weight from stress but everyone is different. I eat when I'm stressed but completely lose my appetite when I'm depressed.

Good for you.

Once in a blue moon I have that eat-all-the-cookies-in-the-bag sichasshun and it makes for next day guilt.

[CrazyInAlabama]

He's down to 639.    That's good progress.    191 lbs down.   Sorry but at over 600 lbs., he's not that mobile.  

I don't think most of the poundticipants really enjoy food, they bolt it down so quickly, and so much is quantity over quality, and tasteless.

I started just really watching the portions. Protein no bigger than the palm of my hand. Salad, vegetables, no rice, few potatoes, little bread. Small bites, eat slower, put the fork down between bites. And I do allow myself a few small pieces of chocolate (170 calories) after supper. Seems to be working!

Its from the "Waldorf salad" episode of Fawlty Towers. For a while my boss was into Waldorf salad I'd yell "celery, walnuts, apples, grapes!" when I brought it in to her office, and she always laughed like a hyena. My MIT peeps were my PEOPLE.

My husband had kidney surgery with the DaVinci robot. Just as he was falling asleep, the surgeon said “Meet the robot, he wants to shake your hand...” 

[umgoblue]

How is it good to have an armrest shoved up your ass?

Asking for a friend named Julian.

[Eldemarge]

I'm sad we don't get to see Julian lookin' all cool at 220 lbs!

This eyeshadow on Irma reminds me of being in Basic Training and the girls were finally allowed to get into their makeup for photos and they SLATHERED it on with the bright eye shadows and bright pink lips.  Everyone looked crazy and you couldn't recognize anyone.  I just spent the whole time plucking my eyebrows.

[sainte-chapelle]

Is date night at a diner? 

[babyhouseman]

Well, maybe he will continue his success even if he didn't get a walk in the park. 

Good night.
