FIRST AND LAST POST HERE

This morning I was dressing to go to clinical, I'm in nursing school, put on my 6xl scrub top and the pockets were down to my bellybutton, so I got out my brand new 4xl scrub top and it fit. My surgery was RNY 12/18/08, and so far I have lost 112lbs

This sounds great, but what the hell is a wooooohooooo moment?  Listen guy, you're at the men's room.  Around here  we call them FARTS.  But other than that.  great!!!!! Thanks for sharing. .....  This sounds great and must feel great to be in those smaller sized scrubs.   I'm  done being mean.  It felt good though.

Who cares what I call my moment? I knew there was a reason I had never come over here. Now I know why.

Dude are serious.  GO grow a set.   Its a Men's forum.  Good job on the weight lost though.

If you are going to be a nurse, you have to be little more open minded and easy going when someone makes a comment to you.  You need to be able to take information given to you and see the Deeper Meaning of what is being stated.  In looking at what was posted, one can easily see that he was trying to explain to you that in the Men's forum we can them FART's not wooooohooooo moments.  This doesn't mean you can't still call them wooooohooooo moments.  In addition, he commented on your success on losing the weight.  So ask yourself, why would he slam you in one aspect and then turn around and complement you on other aspects.  There was nothing said that should have been taken as offensive.  You are training to be a nurse so you might as well get used to this type of stuff.  When you work with patients - many of whom will be sick, they are definitely going to say things to you that you don't agree with and you are going to have to work around those issues.  Trust me on this, I know what I am talking about because I am a RN myself.  By and large, this is a great forum for men.  Lost of support is given for all those who need it.  Sometimes advice and comments are given that we don't want to hear, but in reality, they needed to be said.  You won't get sugar coating over HERE, but you will get the plain and honest truth, which is what I love most about the Men's forum.  

Good luck on your journey with losing weight and finishing nursing school.

I think the old boy was just trying to edjamacate you as to our cultural whims over here. I don't think he meant to totally **** in your Wheaties. You seem to be a little sensitive. Maybe the Men's forum is not the best place for you. Some of us have been known to thow and f-bomb or two on occasion. Wouldn't want to scar you. Run along.

Congrats on the loss.  Keep up the work.  Dont worry bout the "mens forum"
most of us have to get over ouselves  at one point or another.  Although the main forum gets more answers quicker
Good luck

 Congrats on the loss. Sorry, I didn't catch the "why" part about it being your last post here?

I think I am the guilty one who upset the man.  I was just trying to be funny.  Guess it failed.  I'm sorry that it hurt your feelings and hope you stick around.  Probably, I didn't word things as good as I could have.  I do think you are little over sensitive.  Maybe if you lighten up in your spirit.....
