I can see my feet now without bending over..all i got to do is look down i can get the shopping cart past me now while i am in the checkout line i can sit indian style i can go up stairs without being winded i can walk 2 miles easily i can cross my legs comfortably i can get out of the tub easily i can shave my legs without my gut feeling like i can't breathe i can fit into my shoes alot easier i can wear rings i couldn't wear in a very long time my bracelets look really good on my wrists now and not tight i can move around in my bed alot easier i probably can think of more..........

a few things i can do now...Great Idea!! I can fit into some of my older clothes! I can walk 1-3 miles without feeling like I am going to die I can sleep a lot better then pre op (not sure if this is a weight thing) I can see my feet now without bending over..all i got to do is look down i can sit indian style i can cross my legs comfortably i can fit into my shoes alot easier (went down a shoe size!) i can wear rings i couldn't wear in a very long time (since high school) i can move around in my bed alot easier I don't eat everything I see Smelling rather than tasting satisfies my craving for most foods I can sit in most chairs and my butt/thighs don't hang out or dig in I am starting to love "Me" again (slow process)

I can wash my own car! I can shave easier too my shoes fit better & some are too big. I was wearing a 10 before and I went and looked at shoes this weekend and I fit into a 9 or a 9.5 my wedding band is almost too big to wear (i had to get those little things that fit inside the ring so it won't fall off) and I can wear a lot of rings/necklaces that haven't fit me in years i bought clothes in a regular store (they're xl but, they're not plus size and a couple of the shirts were from the Jr's department). I'm also wearing size 14 jeans (not 14w) I can walk with no problems! I sleep soundly through the night and I'm more comfortable in my bed Making love to my husband is 100x better I enjoy looking at myself and checking myself out in the mirror now I park far away when I go to the store instead of parking close or wishing i had a handicap sticker so i could park up front I haven't had a charlie horse in my leg since before surgery I'm not on any meds just vitamins i don't get winded when i walk (or when i play with my nephews/nieces/step daughter) I have more self confidence
