Feeling Humiliated....



Recommended Posts

I had to write a board exam....n d centre was in a govt school (im from India) ...and unfortunately my roll number landed me in a room wch was a classroom for class 4 students.... The desks were soooo small...even the "normal" size candidates were having trouble adjusting....it was HELL for me...a 8 hour long exam... While trying to fit in a kiddy desk....ughh!!!

Been there!!! Especially the folding desk thingy- I could barely take notes... I found the aisle seat was slightly better because I could slide my girth out the aisle side so the person next to me was more comfy... But I almost fell over once in one that didn't have arm rests on the aisles... I just kept sliding out towards the aisle!!! Then I started coming in last and sitting on the side aisle steps! This was much better because I could rest against the wall too!!! But ask the lecturer first so they don't bring it up in front of everyone!!! This will work much better as it seems like your just being polite not squeezing past everyone during the lecture...

Best of luck and log this in for a non-scale victory after your sleeve!!!

If it makes you feel less alone, I actually broke two stools at my favorite Indian restaurant. Two! It's a small restaurant so they only have a counter and stools. It was just like that diner scene in the movie "There's Something About Mary". I was surprised they didn't ban me from the restaurant. And what's worse is that the last time I went there, I noticed they had replaced the old stools with ones that were super-reinforced industrial strength designs. I don't know if they were trying to accommodate me or give me a hint.

Did you mean the movie "shallow Hal"? I've seen both of those movies a couple of times.

OP I'm barely squeezing into regular size chairs that have arms. I'm geting surgery Tuesday and I'm looking forward to sitting comfortably.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
