YOU KNOW YOUR "FAT" WHEN.............



Recommended Posts

I am laughing so hard I can't stand it. This just made my day! I'm still working on getting my stuff together for insurance and it's been a trial (especially the six month supervised diet part). I can't wait to become a bandster so that nearly every one of these things don't apply to me!! As it stands, I can't believe these are all things I/we deal with on a regular basis simply because we've obese. I never really thought about the fact that thin people don't even have to consider the size of the restaurant booth or the fact that the seat belt barely buckles (and with a jacket, forget about it).

Thanks for brightening my day!

Wow this is a great site........I can so identify with the bathroom stall, worrying whether a chair will break (stool story too), toenail story, (waxing bikini area totally out too, because you can't see it anymore. Fidget, yes, I know the not looking in the mirror, or at least not looking in a full length mirror.

To add, Having pants wear out in the inner thighs first because of your leg flab

Not booking plane flights because I was afraid I would not be able to fit in a seat next to a stranger. Always asking for an aisle seat even though I wanted the window.

Being in a bathroom stall and not being able to get out, or it being so tight, the toliet paper roll sat on your lap

I really needed this posting today!

When you start "putting off" shaving your legs because it is just too hard anymore to bend over and get it done, so you just wear pants.

The stewardess doesn't wait to be asked for the seatbelt extension, it is just delivered to you.

You order a coke at a restraunt and the waiter says, "diet ok?"

When you have to start using antifungal spray or ointment between the folds.

When you cant find scales that go past your weight range.

When your stomach is bigger than your boobs!

When you are normally shorter than someone, but when you sit next to them you are taller because you have so much ASS cusion!!!

When you try to sink in your gut, and nothing really happens!

When the fat pad on your pubic area is so big, that it over takes the possibility of ever finding your genitals!!!

Roxanna, YOUR KILLING ME!!

How 'bout when you can't wipe yourself, in a pubic toilet, 'cause you can't spread your legs.

Or getting caught in the stall between the door and the wall.

Or opening doors before your hand even has a chance to reach for the handle...

I'm going to miss closing my kitchen drawers just by turning around....swosh, look no hands

When taking a bath you divide the tub into two separate ponds, like you can pull the plug, but until you get up the Water behind you doesn't move.... nsv: My @$$ no longer touches both sides!! Water can actually swirl all the way around me!

When you stand up after sitting in a chair with arms and the chair is stuck to your butt and you swing around coming close to taking out the entire back row...*humiliating*

When your hubby mistakes a fat roll for your boobies ...*exasperated or disgusted, your choice*

When the teenage boy at Astro World has to leap, shove and perform arobics just to get your buckle to snap ...*petrified*

when you go to the Movie's and have to sit on a park bench!

when you go to your sister's house for dinner and she give's you your own Pie, gallon milk cookie's.

or she has to brib you with a pack of cookie's to come over visit.

when the owner of the all you can eat buffet start's crying when you come to the door and try's to tell you that they are closing early!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
