Yeah, but she pretty much just started doing it an hour and a half in.

You missed her falling and she couldn’t get up.

It took an hour and a half to get to the weight loss part of the episode, but she finally did it! 

[Hellga]

She is walking way better, too.  I have hope that maybe she can push for a couple more months and then get surgery . But I don't think she can do it long-term without therapy.  

[AnnaBaptist]

Well, I am glad I was wrong, but what a weird episode. All of a sudden she is walking on her own and looks way smaller in the hips. Good for her!

OMLord! What was that on the mattress? Just take some of that yogurt money and get a new one. Disgusting.

There is a giant stain on my mattress from when I spilled a whole glass of Polar Diet Cranberry Dry soda when I was in the throes of a flaming hot flash and fumbled in my haste to suck it all down. I ran screaming to the kitchen for more coolant, and forgot about the spill until it was too late.

Month 8 or 9 (I lost track), weight 578, so she lost 73 lbs.    

She's not using the cane or walker.   She's making progress.  Now I'm worried about her pre-surgery medical tests.   Lose 40 lbs in a month, and she'll get surgery.   BMI is still 103.  She must be about 5'3".    I'm proud of her.

Yep. I was surprised to see how she walked into the clinic for her weigh in.

Let's just hope the stain is food related.

[Chicklet]

Well they seem to eat on the sofa or the bed so it hopefully is a food stain. I'm telling myself that.

[babyhouseman]

There's a surgery warning. I am surprised.

Surgery at -15 minutes...

Well, that's a bit better than the 7 minutes I thought it might be.

[Auntie Anxiety]

I looked away from the screen and suddenly she’s undergoing surgery?

[Hellga]

Well if she is all being prepped, that means she lost again, and lost enough.  She is down to 539, not spectacular, but decent progress...

I’m hooked on Polar coconut carbonated water.

Will Dr Now caress her stomach?

Yes! omg this has to go on one of those refrigerator magnets. 

[magemaud]

Dr Now got new glasses that match his blinged out stethoscope

Maybe I’ll try to work that into a conversation this week, which would mean that I’d actually have to talk to someone, so I guess the odds are pretty low.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Down to 539 before surgery.   I'm glad she came through the surgery so well.  I hope she goes to therapy, she really needs to embrace therapy.  However, as they've said before, therapy only works if you're willing to put in the work.

I have a Dr. Now quote on my fridge. (I had a cute little magnetic frame and nothing to put in it, so typed it up in a fancy-ish font and made the colors to match the frame and printed it out.)

"My suggestion is don't do that."

Which is good advice for a lot of things...

[AnnaBaptist]

Husband says that she "has been working on this for a long time".

No, she has only been working on this for three months. The other seven months she did nothing.

It's crazy how many gastric bypass surgeries I have seen on TV by now.  My new boyfriend watched last week's episode and jumped when he saw the surgery.  I am so immune to it lol!   I guess we're supposed to WARN the new people??

Hey, the Black Screen warned him. Not your fault if he didn't heed the warning.

Well, I live in the same city as @Pepper Mostly, but I can't account for her absence.  I do love some Polar, though--and Market Basket. 🤩

[Pi237]

We’re all watching, unphased and waiting for Dr Now to hold up the stomach and smile, like it’s a big fish he just caught. 

[ams1001]

Walk in the par-...I mean, art gallery?!

[Hellga]

She is definitely walking much better.  I first thought it was a grocery store, but they are in an art gallery!   I am proud of her. 

[magemaud]

[babyhouseman]

Art! Aren't we fancy?

[MsVixen]

She's walking without her walker!!!  IMPRESSIVE!!!!!

[Pi237]

Art gallery! New one. Pretty cool.

I flove Market Basket.

So is this like the obligatory walk in the park?

[LizzyB]

This *has to be* the first art gallery walk we have seen on this show!! Am I right?

[ams1001]

Shooting pool!

[magemaud]

From art aficionado to pool shark! 

[Hellga]

She even sounds different.  I hope she can maintain her loss.  

This mmight be the first case of where move to Houston really did help her get on track!  Something must have been going on in Tennessee that kept messing her up.  Maybe Momma dearest.

The first episode they were in a park that had some kind of art installation where you could whisper on one side and they could hear you on the other, but I believe this is the first actual gallery.

[Pi237]

After hearing how she treated her daughter, I have a hard time being nice about her, but her Mom messed her up. So, I’ll give her that much. 
 

Art and shooting pool? Stop making me like you! 

[mmecorday]

What was that art installation called? A trip through Timothy Leary's brain? 

[Minivanessa]

TBH indoor activities make more sense to me in Houston than outdoor things. I lived there for years. It's hot and humid outdoors. I hated that. 

[Elizzikra]

Well good for her and all the people who helped her get there...

[Auntie Anxiety]

The show cut out for some reason, so I can’t catch the last motivational speech that Delana will be giving. My loss.
