Another "WOW" moment

Hi Everybody, Today I took my van into the shop. It was one of those quick-lupe type places. I usually have my hubby or friend follow me over so I don't have to wait in the waiting room. This time, I figured I'd just stay there and wait. As I walked into the waiting room...I was horrified!!! Seats were lawn chairs!!!!

all of the seats were those hard plastic, stackable kind. Now, being a super morbidly obese woman, I figured that 3 things could happen.

1. I might be able to fit... but my legs would be crammed in. 2. I might be able to sit down...but my big butt would be stuck when I 'd try to get up...probably carry the chair for a few feet as I struggle to pull that sucker off!

and finally #3. The chair could colaspe right from under me!!

All of those thoughts came rushing through my head. Nobody was in the waiting room at the time, and I knew that I would be there at least an hour and a half.

I slowly lowered myself into that chair..and guess what??? It didn't break..didn't even rock back and forth. and guess what else??? there was plenty of room on that seat so that my legs weren't skeewished together...oh and I was able to get up very easily and walk around.

I was smiling so hard that the guys in the garage probably thought that I was "hitting" on them:rolf::rolf::rolf: What's a girl like me to do??? I guess I am on my way to being skinnier.

There is no way I could had done this 4 months ago.

Hugs

Hi Twinnie!

Thank you very much!!

See my post about "It's all Soos fault". It's because of her that I have a new pic here.

I definitely do not feel like the bouncy guy!

I am going to stay right here

for a loooong time. I may peak out at 6 months post op and see what's going on. Ya know, like the groundhog does on groundhog day. If I scare myself, it will back under here

for a few more months!

I'm with you on the hormones too. One day I feel okay, the next I am in the pits again. Someday hopefully it will all even out.

Huggs, Ruth
