Shoot - I missed the text - something about Oregon... did Rick miraculously recover and go home?

 

He had a stent replaced and he's recovering in Oregon. 

[Miracle Maxie]

These fist bumps have already gotten old. 

[Pepper Mostly]

Voiceover: I'm ecstatic

Bri's face: same truculent scowl as always. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Her eye balls are 60% more visible.

So I went back to my Barnyard Sandwich search tab to close it, and noticed this link I had skipped over.

This Is Potbelly’s Entire Super-Secret Menu

This lists a Barnyard Sandwich, which is "a Wreck plus Nueske’s bacon, meatballs, mayo, lettuce, and tomato"...elsewhere on the page it describes a Wreck as "ham, turkey, roast beef, and salami."

If that's what she ordered...I just can't.

I'm 100% carnivore, and this grosses me out.

Nueske's bacon. A shout out to Whittenberg, WI.

But did you stop at every 3rd McDonalds along the way?

Oh hell no. We drove until we needed gas or the bathroom. We would have gone straight through, but I insisted on stopping. I was pooped. 

[aliya]

What - she ate before surgery??

Dr Now made a funny. 

[QuinnInND]

Fried meatballs and calamari???? Barf!

I can see the weight loss in her face. 

Yes, now she no longer looks like a blob out of some low-budget horror flick, just like a grossly overweight person. 

Just now, Wanda said:

I’ve never heard of needing a stent replaced. Did hauling her and furniture around rip it out of place?

It is actually not uncommon.  Many possible reasons, but doesn't have anything to do with one-time physical exertion.  Chronic effort will do it, though - and for him it was more having to help her up and day in and day out as well as eating same crap she was that got him to this point.

"LAST SUPPER".......

[Gbb]

Brianna: I made a booboo. 

Rick, donning glove: Bend over. 

[DC Gal in VA]

Dr. Now is funny and cool Brianne: I had my last supper. Dr. Now: I thought that was for Jesus! Bwahahaha!😆

[CrazyInAlabama]

So mom who was so upset about her daughter's weight got her a 'last meal' of all of that high calorie stuff?  More than one enabler in her life.

Interesting how some patients just seem to instinctively rub Dr Now the wrong way the second he sees them (Lisa and James)and others he cuts slack and fist bumps lol. Have never seen him be so blasé and jovial with someone who had a “boo boo” meal before surgery.

[poeticlicensed]

Rick looks like he has aged a lot

[Armchair Critic]

She didn't say she was glad her husband was okay because she cared about him, she just said she was glad he was back with her (in case she needs any more heavy lifting or being waited on) because it's all about her.

[aliya]

Jeez, her husband looks like he's in his 60's instead of in his 50's. The heart condition must be wearing on him.

[cmpbl]

 Her mother is wearing socks with sandals. lol

Probably because she HAS lost weight.

That's five sandwiches in one.  Yuck. 

[Armchair Critic]

If she could lose 130 pounds it seems like she could keep losing without the surgery.

Great, one more thing to worry about with my husband who has two stents :-(

I will eat all of those meat products except salami, but...one at a time, please! (And I don't eat ham or bacon very often, and I also don't generally eat roast beef in deli-meat form.) Also, I hate mayo and raw tomatoes.

At first, I thought he didn’t look too terrible for his age. Now he looks haggard and at least 10 years older.

Yeah I think because she did hit goals he wasn’t going to chew her out over a “last supper”.

That is because she lost over 100lbs on the first try, without being hospitalized or lying about having no choices but giant burritos and Barnyard Sandwiches. He's not worried about her backsliding by 75 lbs.

If they were 22 and 52 when they got together, and she's 30 now, then he's actually 60. But yeah, he does look older.

Because they deserve it. She’s eating thousands and thousands of calories a day!

I wasn't buying 52...his girdle is probably 52.

Yup, it's a pretty common look. Free People has a bunch of models on their site wearing socks with Birks. I like it.

I was actually surprised she was allowed to proceed with the surgery - I guess her meal was sufficiently long ago that they could go on.  She must have obeyed the timing guidelines at least...  I don't begrudge her one last meal of her favorite stuff, not optimal, but not horrible, given how well she has done so far.

A heart surgery and associated hospital stay will do that to a person.

If they were plain metal stents, you are right to worry.   Drug-eluting stents are far less likely to fail, especially if the surgeon knew what he was doing,  I wish your husband many years of healthy life. 

[Armchair Critic]

Kody and that fright wig hair, ACK who am I kidding, I will end up watching that trainwreck too

[Miracle Maxie]

Gave up on the idea of adding yogurt to tonight’s eating habit. Instead, I had a protein bar during the commercial break because I’m less likely to get grossed out then... unless it’s a commercial for Dr PimplePopper.

There have been other patients who had good weight loss that he didn’t seem so easy going with...Diana (he was much stricter with her even though she never missed a single weight loss goal), Sarah who had to go through the stress of being weighed while in her surgical gown before he would agree to go through with her surgery, the woman who was very depressed and lost like 150 lbs because all she did was eat jello....he was really annoyed with her and her husband because they didn’t have clues. Maybe he’s mellowing or just appreciates anyone who isn’t Schenee or Lisa or James anymore.

Is Rick a Hobbit?

No, Brianne does not, in fact, love you more than pizza. That was a terrible lie.

Okay now, you need to quit trying for a second pair of gasoline soaked drawers! Oh Hell fuck it, here they are..............

Agree about his hair but that is one show I can't watch. Ever! I tried.

Brianne and Rick seem like really nice people. 

That's all I got from this scene.

I suspect so.

He is a tiny teeny little miniature man with a very strange neck.

[MsVixen]

I'm impressed that she has gotten into the seat on the tour bus.

We should all just get handed a pair as soon as we enter live chat!

My husband and I went on that tour when we got married! How cool!  I can't believe she got up that little spiral staircase! Wow. I'm impressed.

A good doctor tailors communication style to his patient.  Given her issues with her Dad screaming at her as a reason for her overeating - I think Dr. Now chewing her out would do more harm than good, and he sees it too, that she doesn't respond well to scolding and much better to praise. 

[Armchair Critic]

She is pretty bossy for somebody who has to rely on him taking care of her. She will probably be the type who loses weight and dumps him.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Ok, but who the hell was there to wipe her butt? There was such a sharp cut after she moved in. Momma coming over when she can doesn’t quite fill the gap.
