Tonight has been a horrible evening!! Giving me all the more reason to be anxious and ready for surgery 2 months from today!! I was at a friends house for her birthday, I was already feeling out of place bc I was drinking Soup instead of eating what everyone else was but I made a small plate for my toddler and went to sit down in one of the chairs with her to feed her when bam! The chair broke!! Thank god I didn't drop my daughter!! They kept saying the chair was already broken and they had wood glued it back together two days ago and forgot when they brought it in. Either way I was and still am embarrassed, hurt and angry! I'm so sick of being a fat ass!! I was so upset bc my little girl was terrified and it was all bc mommy is fat!! March 28 plz hurry!!! Sorry vent over!:(

Oh i can remember my first broken chair :)

I'm going to throw in a little 'lol' because, come on, you gotta laugh. That's a story you'll tell your daughter when she grows up.... back when momma USED to be fat.

Sorry it was rough. It's over now. Thank goodness!

I'm so sorry that happened to you! I know it's hard not to be embarrassed but it wasn't your fault. And you are already making awesome changes by having the discipline to eat healthy while at a party! Soon very soon this will only be a distant memory. And you will be creating great new memories for you and your daughter with your smaller healthy self!

I can totally relate...I broke a chair once in one of my favorite restaurants! :( the waitresses tried to tell me it was already wobbly (which it was) and should have been replaced...but still it was an embarrassment, and I just knew everybody was thinking that the big fat woman broke the chair...but I agree with the LOL stuff....you gotta laugh

Try not to feel bad. You're on your way to not ever having that happen again. I was at a small airport one time. I was sitting on a bench on the end and a stranger was on the other end. He stood up and I flipped the bench and landed on the ground. I wanted to die right then and there.

Yes, please don't feel bad. Maybe this will make you feel better, by getting a good laugh. I had on some new 4 -inch high heeled shoes with this bright pink dress on, I thought I was sugar sharp. I fell through a door leaving a restaurant, and had the nerve to roll 3 times on top of that. LOL, girl, I looked like a big, fat A%* Easter bunny rolling down that street. I was so embarrassed, because I was on a first date with the man of my dreams, he helped me up and dusted me off and he never laughed. I had a broken heel and a whole in the dress and he said that I still looked beautiful. Now, that man knew I looked a damn hot mess, at that point I knew I had to marry that man!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry about the chair thing, thats terrible. I have some heavy relatives and some of the chairs at my parents place are old and MIGHT not hold them, I was always extremely careful and strategic to be sure that they never had to sit in those. I certainly wouldnt give a glued together chair to an obese person and it was kind of insensitive to not pay attention to that.

I feel your pain!! A few years back, I was at a friend's house when I broke their toilet!!!! Water EVERYWHERE!! I have never been so embarrassed in all my life - and it was the last time I was at that friend's house. Just know that you are on the right path, and you will succeed!!

Sometimes a negative can be turned into a positive, take that vision and store it in your head and use it as a motivator after you have your surgery. Visual reminders always help me.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
