Maybe Someday Future WOW moment -- earthquake drill

Another good reason for WLS: I am soooo looking forward to the day post op when thinking about an earthquake drill won't make me sick to my stomach.

I worry about cramming myself under my desk. I don't fit so well. And I worry about falling and hurting myself. And then the embarassment when I pull myself up. I sit right by the exit door, so everyone will be walking by on their way out the door.

Then we go outside and stand around. Or I can sit in the sand next to a creosote bush.

I know in a real event, this discomfort will be nothing. But whining a little makes me feel better.

Anyone else dreading this?

Whether Fat or skinny, when a quake hits. I run like the wind!!!!!  Don't worry, you will do fine, and don't worry about what might happen in the future, you could be a thin 150 by the time the big one hits!

Patti,   I know exactly what you mean, and I know if it was the real event we all would act differently and not care as much. Also, it’s ok to whine!!!  I would never get under my desk for the fear of not being able to get up. I would even go down stairs to the parking lot early just to get outside before the drill so I didn’t have to walk down 4 flights of stairs, for the fear of what people would be saying or just being out of breath.   But, I have to say this year was much different. After loosing 105 pounds in the past 7 months… I proudly went under my desk and walked down the stairs and even took the stair back up to my desk and felt GREAT about it. I am sure know one noticed, but boy was I excited….The best WOW moments of the day!!!    I am excited for you to have your surgery and have the same feeling as I had this morning.   Good luck and Best wishes to your up coming surgery!!!

My feet hurt, but it's all over.

Thank you for your comments.

Hey I really understand the pain you are going through.  I have lost a total of 170 and still need more and I see you have 228 that you are shooting for.  Don't worry about it, you have a great surgeon, you will see great success.  Just hang in there, like I said, you could be 150 by the time the big one gets here.  I have been waiting for the big one for over 30 years....still waiting.  Wishing you good luck.  Hang tough Patti
