It seems like it’s been a few shows since we actually saw a surgery.

"Just say NO to peanut butter"..........

NEVER!!!! Peanut butter is manna from heaven...especially when placed inside chocolate.

Do DaughterUMGOBLUE (who doesn't watch this show), incredulously said, he looks the same and called bs on the 125# loss!  😂

Dammit, I like him.

Yes, I was glad he made the 125-lb weight loss goal.

[mmecorday]

Oops, they had to blur Aaron's lil sizzler!

Dad's thinking, "I did not risk my life fighting in Vietnam so that I could gum tuna sandwiches. The hell I didn't."

This freaks me out so much. If my husband had lived, he'd be 70 this year. I can't think of all those guys being in their 70s now. 😱 I'm still just an old tofu-eating hippie girl, myself.   btw - We lived in Ann Arbor when Eden Foods was just a restaurant and bakery. I guess they're old now, too. 😊

So, is our girl Kassandra pregnant?

Scary when someone loses 125 pounds and I can't really tell. He is walking better though.

I was thinking that when he got on the scale he was moving a lot better than the first couple times he got on there.

That’s kinda what I thought. I was stunned he lost that much.

[Pepper Mostly]

Oh, wait, I think I blacked out for a minute--how does he feel about his impending surgery? Is he nervous? Is he afraid he "won't wake up"? I need to know! 

[String Theory]

Hopefully, his sister will get with the program too.  I'm amazed he actually made it.  Something tells me that this isn't going to be as easy as he thinks its going to be after his surgery.  Calling Dr. Paradise!!!!! or Lola!

[Smoothcoat]

Sister looks 100 pounds overweight herself!

Well, we got to see Jeanne's mom Barbara get her infected hernia removed last week!

Hopefully Lola. I love her wigs and wardrobe.

[CrazyInAlabama]

This family needs the Dr. Now group plan, with both parents being heavy, and the cardiac and diabetes issues, they all need to follow a decent diet.     The sister with kids needs to show them proper nutrition so they don't grow up the same as her parents and brother. 

[Wanda]

her Brother is her world.......Woman you have small children. What are they to you? Stupid canned script just doesn’t work when they arent careful who reads it.

Ooo!  This "filling the stomach with water for educational purposes" is new!  Go, TLC!  Gettin' crazy!

[cmpbl]

Wow his stomach was huge.

[ams1001]

That stomach looks like a balloon. I think I'd be bouncing it a bit, too.

Aaron's removed stomach looks like a kielbasa. Which, now that I type that, actually might be a kielbasa. 

[Miracle Maxie]

Okay, inflating the removed stomach with water was something I truly did NOT need to see. Pass the brain bleach, please!

[mmecorday]

Dr. Now's all, "If Dr. Pimple Popper can play with the tumors and stuff she removes from her patients, I can roll Aaron's stomach around like it's silly puddy."

I guess I’m weird - I thought seeing the stomach was cool

[JudgeyMcJudgyPants]

Is Jon Cena just kinda meh to anyone else?

[DC Gal in VA]

Wait, whoa there Dr. Now! I never saw him spend so much time fondling a stomach. Hey, you two GET A ROOM! Hee. 😆

At least they didn’t toss it around the operating room like a water balloon.

The amount of stomach cut out looked like the size of a forearm...WTH!!!

I think that is the largest stomach we've seen.  What is even left in there?! 

I guess that is how you are able to eat yourself to 718.  Holy shit!

Dr. Now was enthralled...I hadn't seen that before either.

It is.  But I’m one of those unlucky people who will gain 10 pounds just looking at it.  PB is the one food I actually refuse to let in the door, because if a jar is open my spoon and I will soon empty it.

[Oh My.]

I love Lola.  She gets lots of hate on this site but she was great with both Rena and Roni, who were in domestically abusive relationships during their weight loss journey.  She’s great in those situations.

Me too.  But I do lurve me some Dr. Pimple popper.  And I remember when they showed actual surgeries on this channel.  I watched the shit out of that...except eye surgery.  That shit freaked me out.  I can’t take close up shots of eyes. *shudders*

Oh, that's who that is! I couldn't think of his name.

[umgoblue]

Overall, this season is a dud.  Too many boring episodes.

[Twopper]

Me, too, especially as he said with food in it it could stretch to be 5x that big.

I think the sister is sweet, but I also think she has found a lot of the pounds he lost.   She needs to make a copy of the Dr Now diet and use it herself. 

I am impressed he is wearing real shoes.  I do give him props for not sitting around the house in his birthday suit.

Yep, it's on the Lifestyle Reality part of the Forum.

Wonder if I can get a few CEU's watching Dr. Now stretching/manipulating Aaron's stomach.

I haven’t watched her. I should check it out. We homeschool and one of the most common questions is how I can stand doing science experiments. Are you kidding? I can’t wait to my next kid is ready for the heart dissection. 

[Miracle Maxie]

Oh no! He’s following the Duggar Cream of Whatever soup diet!

[DC Gal in VA]

Why do they ALWAYS buy canned cream-of-whatever soup and then strain it? Ugh. Homemade stock/soup is not that difficult.

[String Theory]

Uhm............is this some backsliding I'm hearing already?

[Snarkastikate]

I have a bad feeling.  Surgery way too early in the show.  Too much time left for this to go really bad.  As in gaining weight......

[Splashes]

Wow that looks disgusting

I recommend her YouTube channel.  You get all the “pops” but don’t have to sit through all the filler of people drama.

[String Theory]

HOUSTON we have a problem!

[CircusPeanuts]

Ummmmmm, I don’t think Campbell Cream of Mush soup is what he’s supposed to be eating!!??!!

[cmpbl]

These people are in a different vehicle every time we see them. Uh oh he didn't lose enough.
