Funny Thoughts since losing weight

Morning Juners..I just wanted to share the following thoughts I had while driving into work today. Just wanted to know what other funny thoughts have popped in everyone's minds since surgery. 1) I have a great new shape now. I mean the curves legs etc..with clothes on I've been approached by men (and i'm married) recently about how good I look. Ha! now if they only knew..if I took these clothes off my skin would sag right on out! I had to chuckle this morning about standing in front of this handsome guy and scaring him half to death after the clothes came off. 2) I can finally fit into my towel. Or is it the other way around. I actually think my husband was shrinking these towels in the dryer..because they all of a sudden fit! I'll write the rest later..share your funny thoughts.

This is too cute, thanks for sharing! I am happy that I am getting ready to date (I'm divorced for several years) and I know I will not hop into bed with anyone (expecting to get to know and love well first this time around) but I really do think about the horror this poor guy might experience one day with all my saggy skin and scars. On the other hand if he gets to know me and love me, he might not care so much?? Sorry to get serious for a moment, but these are real thoughts I have! Jo

Here's my stuff...when I went back to to work, I had already lost 40 lbs. I am an EMT, and a lot of my day is spent sitting in the ambulance. I couldn't figure out on my first day why my rear end and lower back were killing me. I finally understood when I came home and sat down on the wooden kitchen chairs that I no longer had the 'padding' surrounding my pelvis and ****yx bones to make a nice comfortable seat. It's weird having a bony a** for myself instead of saying that other people do!! -Cheri

Funny how I have went from a size 24 to a size 16, changed the bra size but my underwear size stays the same!!! what is up with that? And how I went out for breakfast with my husband and I ordered pancakes forgetting all about not being able to eat alot and when the order of 3 huge ones came out I ended up eating just 1/4 of 1 and getting full. The waitress must have felt I did not like it and kept coming by asking was everything okay..she then had the manager come out (without me asking for him) and he gave me and the hubby the breakfast for free along with another free breakfast at our next visit! It was funny, I was going tot explain but hubby looked at me as if he was saying no no don't you say a word. My husband said not only was I a cheap date but I was able to get us free food too!

That's funny about the restaurant visit . . . Hubby and I have both had WLS. I had mine June 1. He had his July 21. We are doing well and are approaching a combined loss of 200 pounds already! The story about the restaurant reminded me of a recent trip hubby and I took with my sister for lunch. We went to a place called O'Charley's, which is one of our "old" (pre-surgery) favorites. So we scanned the menu to see what we could eat. We finally settled on some chipotle BBQ chicken tenders and I ordered some veggies on the side, but they brought mashed potatoes. Either way, it didn't matter, because between me and my hubby, we could not even finish one of the tenders. So the waitress comes by and has a concerned look on her face, asking if everything is OK. We assure her everything is fine, but I guess she wanted to be doubly sure, so she sent the manager by to ask. So, we told him we had surgery and couldn't eat much, and that everything tasted great. He seemed fine with that . . . I never thought I would be in a position like that! Actually unable to complete a meal! Anyway, yes, my hubby and I are together, a VERY cheap date these days. We used to order an appetizer, a big meal, and sometimes dessert afterwards. I used to slurp down so many cokes at a meal . . .probably blew a thousand or more calories just in cokes at every evening meal. Now, if I peak out over 500 calories a day, I have "pigged out". It's a wonderful feeling! - Beth
