I, actually, had the opposite thing happen, I was pregnant and looking for pantyhose, the clerk was afraid to ask if I was fat or pregnant! I laugh now, I weighed about 140 or less!!!That was back 43 years ago, tho'. It would be a silly remark at this time, since I am 64 1/2 years old. Haha! That was very cruel to do to anyone! ((((hugs)))), you get the last laugh! :lol: :wub:

I was getting dressed and busted a zipper on my jeans, put on another pair, and they don't fit. Can this surgery come any quicker.

These are cracking me up!

I haven't broken anything (knock on wood!) but I have had plenty of experience being embarrassed about having to swish my fat arse into random chairs. Lol.

I am having dinner with the relatives that owned the plastic chair I broke. He is a gastroenterologist. I will be looking for the most sturdy chair when I walk into the room.

I will talk to him about lap band at his hospital.

Yes I have broke my bed. Oiy vey that was horrible. Got up in the middle of the night and went to flop back down and the bed broke away from the head board and my ass was stuck and could not get up. I had to put darn cinder blocks under it so I could sleep on it. Now I dont have that problem anymore. I also stepped in a whole and broke my toe and fell at the toyota dealership and not one darn sales man saw me to come help me up. I was more pissed then embarrassed because they have no issue running all over you to sell a darn car. When I was big I have wretched my neck' date=' fell on my ass I dont know how many times and broke a plastic lawn chair. OMG its funny now but was not then.[/quote']

As always... Funny now.... Not then.

Well I have broken several things unfortunately. I bought a new home in 2010, within the first 2 months, I broke the toilet seat. Then after a year, I broke the couch. I have been at my job for about 18 months and broken 2 office chairs. So I had to spend twice what I would have paid on a "big and tall" office chair designed to hold up to 350lbs. How mortifying is it when you work for a non-profit and have to spend twice the amount in order to get a chair you won't break!

Last summer I was at a state training for my job. I had on wedge sandles, not high at all. As I was walking into the meeting room in the hotel, I stepped on some uneven plastic part of the floor and my ankle turned over...BAM...face planted right on the carpet, in front of all of my new collegues. Hotel staff had to run and get me ice. Now the lady at the state level knows me as the fat girl that fell at training!!!!

I used to wear those chunky heels (wedge shoes) and as I got heavier' date=' I think my ankles got weaker. I can't begin to tell you how many parking lots I face planted in before decided I needed to give them up. The worst two, was at a high school parking lot picking my kids up after a track meet and face planting in the parking lot. My kids were so used to it that as I laid face down they were laughing and so was I. It was humiliating and a woman walked by and scolded my kids for laughing and not helping me up. We told her it happens all the time. So up I got. I also did this in a Bob Evans parking lot after a meal on New Years Day. I fell and had to go back in the restaurant all scraped up and bleeding. The staff was like "what happened"... A coworker (who is heavy as well) was wearing the same type of shoes in our dept and her ankle gave way just standing at the printer and she fell in the middle of our cubes and was so embarrassed. Oh, the joy of being overweight. We won't even talk about the turnstyles I had to squeeze through sideways and pray I wouldn't get stuck... I can laugh at all this now.

So you are sooo not alone.[/quote']

Omg! You have me cracking up!

Omg! I've been reading all the posts' date='and I'm laughing my butt off, it happens to everyone, I haven't broken anything, but one night I woke up in the middle of the night rolled over, didn't see my husband I started calling out for him, then I hear his voice it was kinda squishy he says " you're laying on my face" lol I will never forget that I'm cracking up just typing this comment up.[/quote']

Lmao! Wow! You have me cracking up!

Lol!!! We went to Garden Ridge Pottery this weekend shopping for bar stools for our new house & I "tried one out"....when I stepped on the foot rest it did the whole crickety-crack noise. My 17 yr old son says "Yeah Mom, you might rethink that!" and my husbands reply (while laughing his a** off!) was "Hey Babe, lets save that one for AFTER your surgery!" Some may get offended by some of my family's sense of humor, but I'm just grateful for their support and ability to make light of the situation!! BTW.... my initial consult visit is tomorrow at 8:30 am and im so excited I could cry!!! :)

I simply LOVE when I go to a cookout and sit in one of those resin/plastic chairs and then get up to do something and the whole chair gets up with me and I need help removing it from my butt. Yeah-- good times!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
