Hello to all my new friends out there! (have I mentioned that I love this forum?) I thought I would come chill in the lounge and tell a kinda funny story about my lap band seminar on Thursday. I am fine with it, so it is all told lightheartedly..

Well, when you walk into the seminar, which most of you probably know, they take your height and weight, calculate your BMI, get you set up with a packet and show you what to fill out...yada yada yada...

Well, out of all the people in the world, my husband's (of almost 9 years) ex girfriend from like '92 or '93 or something, who is blonde, tan and beatiful - took my heigh and weight. She was actually VERY nice and so was I. We laughed and talked, she complimented my hair and I complimented her too. It was all just fine. She asked me how my husband and I were and I said we were great!

I even joked at the very beginning and said "okay out of all the people in the world you are going to take my height and weight?" She laughed though, and said "Don't be embarrassed we are here to help!" She was very professional and very kind. I really like her! We small talked a little as she was writing things down, and it was all good...

Just thought it was kindof a funny coincidence that I walk in and there she was! During my husband and my's dating times, I had heard about her and she's basically, with looks, everything I'm not...I'm redheaded and big and chubby..people say I remind them of the campbell's Soup girl...and she is small and skinny and blonde and looks like a model:rolleyes:...anyway I don't worry about her anymore, but it was juts kinda funny that she was there....

It was still a great day..and I feel nothing but kindness toward the girl. Just thought it was quite ironic...

God Bless!!!:rolleyes2:

That is funny. I probably would have walked out or demanded someone else weigh me, cause I am just that way, lol.

lol... yeah, I don't know if I could take that. Even if there was nothing but niceness, I'm so danged jealous and un confident! Good for you! I want to be more like that!

I would have been pissed that she was weighing me. LOL I would have asked for someone else. I am stubborn though.

Glad things went so well though.

hehe I would have busted up laughing to be honest. I am just that way. I am the type that I find humor in almost all situations. To me that would have been a good laugh for at least, AT LEAST 2 weeks.

I would have done my best to laugh, while likely crying on the inside!

Years ago, I had just divorced my DD's dad, because he was cheating---and fathered another child. We were in KMart to get my DD's picture taken, and I signed up, since there was a wait----and not too long later here comes the b#*ch and her baby, and signs up. She had not seen me (she was scared of me!!), so when he called out the last name, we both went up. He looks at us and ask "Who was first?" I told him "I was both times" she skittered off and left!!!

Through the years, he cheated on her too, and they too divorced, and our kids remain close----but at the time I got great pleasure in doing that!!!

You have a great sense of self, and I bet you if nothing spurs you on to make this a success---she will!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
