The ULTIMATE Compliment!!!!!....????



Recommended Posts

Ok, decided I have to share this. Let's see if you can top this......

I belong to a health Club. I say health club because besides having a gym, they have racquetball courts, an indoor pool, basketball, different rooms for workout classes, a spa for facials, massages, etc, 2 restaurants one a food court the other more upscale, a cocktail lounge, etc, etc, etc.

I go there mainly for the gym, and the fact that they have LOCKER ROOMS !! Locker rooms with showers, a sauna, whirlpool, steam room, plenty of sinks with blow dryers, etc, etc. It's great to shower, soak in the hot tub and steam room, then put on fresh clothes after a good workout.

They even have a flat screen 52" HD TV in there. ( I still find a bunch of naked men sitting in lounge chairs watching TV amusing.)

So now, having said that, you have to picture (if you dare) the place filled with dozens of men wearing nothing but their shower shoes!! (flip-flops)

At best, some will wrap a towel around their waist but trust me not many can do this. I've just been able to recently. Also the age range can be anywhere from high school to mid 80's!! Depending on the time of day you're there. There are a few Sylvester Stallone types walking around, but for the most part there are your everyday average guys......Just Naked!!

So, having set the scene.....The other day I was there, and after a sweaty workout and a quick shower, I go into the 165 degree sauna. When I walk in another man looks up and says "Bob....Is that You??? My God...I didn't recognize you"

This guy is a friend of mine whom I haven't seen or talked to in over 10 years. We talk about family, etc, but he keeps coming back to how good I look and how much weight I have lost.

Remember we are all a bunch of very sweaty and very naked men! I did start to get uncomfortable only once when I noticed other men listening in and checking me out also.!

So...Can you top that??

BTW, the women have their locker room also and I can only assume the same thing is going on...but I have not had the opportunity to see for myself.rolleyes.gif

Now that's funny.

That reminds me of another locker room story I'll save for the right time.

BTW you can never get me to sit in those vinyl lounge chairs at the TV!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
