As if surgery can't come quick enough.... I just sat on and broke the toilet seat in our bathroom! How embarrassing and horrific. Now I have to explain to my hubby why we have to buy another one... Really?? Anyone else out there ever have anything embarrassing like this happen?

Good Grief...

Same with me...my lowest day was when I was a coffee hostess and a reg said.....sooooo must be soon now....and I asked him what...? and he said your baby...I had to stand there and laugh..but inside i was bawling...the next day he came in with his girl friend and I knew it was just a more...come see dont she like preg......

Aww..that's mean. I'm sorry, you can tell when a person is overweight or pregnant..I bet you look great now

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! :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.

For sure! Broke a WOODEN toilet seat! Who breaks wood? Also broke a butterfly camping chair. The leg bent like it was a paper clip

Thats too funny I bet it wasn't funny at the time, oh well at least we have a sense of humor

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!
