This is a pretty good question. Here is my question, our Stake president has always told us that if we were going to a doctors appointment where we would be "exposing" our garments, then it is better to leave them home, and change as soon as possible into them. I would think - going into the hospital for surgery would be one of those times?? what are your thoughts.

Trudi, Congratulations on your date! That's exciting. I wore my garments there but kept them safely tucked away during the hospital stay. I didn't wear them during. I did wear them on my way home though. There are too many people pulling, poking, and checking to keep the sanctity of the garments. That and you could bleed through and stain your garments. I had to buy new garments last month because mine were so ridiculously big on me. It's so nice to be in something that fits but I still think I'll have to buy a couple more pair before the weight loss comes to an end. Good luck and keep talking to us. We love it and you'll need it! Hydi

(((Erin))) so sorry for the pain you are going through! I was inactive for 13 years, nearly excommunicated and have fought to be back. My hubby and I were finally sealed in the west jordan utah temple in april. Funny how Heavenly Father lets us know that we can forgive ourselves as well as him forgiving us. I truely believe that we are harder on ourselves than he ever will be! Have you asked for a blessing? They truely work miracles! My prayers are with you. Trudi

Hi Hydi and everyone else too 1. What is one thing you enjoyed about being overweight? (I know, this one may take a while to answer). I really enjoyed not having anything I ate bother me..I loved eating a big steak with potato...but not as much as I love how I feel now. I have to keep reminding myself of that. 2. The weather is perfect outside, you have a day off, it's your favorite season, and you have sufficient funds in the bank. What are you going to do today? I'm going to hop on my motorcycle and just goooooooo. Hubby and I love to ride and we just pick new spots to go explore. 3. When was the last time you followed the spirit and blessed someone else's life? I think inviting a friend over for dinner that I didn't realize was having some problems and needed and ear. 4. What are your favorite and least favorite chores around the house? I love to rearrange things. I love to have a nice clean neat house but I hate cleaning. I think because it's just me and hubby even though he is wonderful isn't very helpful when it comes to cleaning so I feel I get stuck with it and I get resentful...plus I would much rather work in the yard than in the house anyday. But my least favorite things are vacuuming and dusting. Thanks for the questions....have a wonderful weekend everyone. Alfie

O.K. I guess nobody's awake to post more questions. My kids are being good (I LOVE SESAME STREET!) so I'll pop out a couple more for you. 1. What is one thing you enjoyed about being overweight? (I know, this one may take a while to answer). 2. The weather is perfect outside, you have a day off, it's your favorite season, and you have sufficient funds in the bank. What are you going to do today? 3. When was the last time you followed the spirit and blessed someone else's life? 4. What are your favorite and least favorite chores around the house? O.K. My answers: 1. Not feeling guilty when I'd eat an entire box of Krispy Kreme. That's about it! 2. It would be fall and my hubby and I would take a day trip to look at the covered bridges and leaves, all the yuppie things. Maybe we'd rent a nice car, too, since we have 'sufficient funds.' 3. Mmmm, maybe when I gave a talk in Feb. on love. It turned into a talk about the Saviors love for us and I can honestly say every word was given by the spirit. I remember a lot of people crying and a lot approached me later. 4. I love to do the dishes (once I'm doing them) and hate to do the laundry. At least until it's all washed, folded, and in drawers and then I love that I did it.
