What an awesome WOW moment! 
Glad the lady didn't fall over!  lol

You must look "willowly"...

I love that term... tall,thin, moves so beautifully... gracefully.  swish...
I'll get thinner but I'll never be willowly.... I'm just not tall enough for that...

Greetings my Dear Friends:

I think the second bad thing about being back to work (the first being less time with darling DH) is that I have so much less time for hello's in my favorite online family.

I had a fun Wow yesterday. As some may know I sell fine jewelry at a local department store. I had taken a walk downstairs and was standing next to one of the displays when two mature ladies walked by. I stood still to let them walk by and when they passed I started to walk again, one of them jumped back and said "OMG you scared me!! I thought you were a mannequin!" "You're so tall thin and pretty" LOL It did make an otherwise dull day a bit smilier.

I have been having a bit of a time with my blood surgar latley, keeping it up that is.  I haven't been having super lows, but keeping it at 100 has been difficult. My family, in particular my dh and my dad think that I now need to gain weight.  I have a normal bmi (5'6" & 130 = 20.9 bmi) Honestly, gaining on purpose just does not feel like on option.  I just had my labs drawn, if the labs say I need to put on some weight then I will of course look at doing that. How has anyone else delt with this?

Hope all is well with you my dear Friends.

 

Point well taken...

Which is exactly why I wanted to have the surgery in the first place. The things I enjoy doing were really beginning to impacted in a negative way. I knew if I didn't get myself under control I would soon have to lessen the extent of sharing in so many things that give me the greatest joy.

I also wanted to be in the position of greater priveleges perhaps being able to share in relief work in other countries when diasters strike. If I'm not healthy enough to share here... there certainly would be no point in me considering trying to go elsewhere. Besides...
I WAS NOT getting a passport with me being MO.

I'm looking forward to a new driver's license photo this year! and of course, getting that passport photo taken FINALLY!

I am very grateful for this second chance to really live my life!

Oh, I called and got voice mail AGAIN....yes it is starting to seem lol funny to me too.....I wonder how long I will have to wait this time for a returned call....so I went a head and called another surgeon....will meet with them next week I think....I guess I need to call first thing in the morning and ask for my reccords....

Hi Diane,

It is nice to meet you.  I think you have done an awesome job with WLS...I am still trying to get there.

I am a teacher of 12-14 year olds and a mom too.  Girl that age is HARD to deal with and when you add the neurological complications...oh momma!!!!.....and nothing is black and white with humans....especially kids....hang in there....


This group is great about posative support.  But do not feel like you ever have to put on the positive smile and pretend its all great for us....becuase your right.... thats not the way to get your needs met....just know that no one will bully you or put you down....now they may give you advice that makes you think....and it might on a rare occasion be as uncomfortable as an intense therapy session....but you will always know it comes from a place of caring...and that is an increadable resource....I am so glad you are here.....you are amoung kidered spirits.
