It's the little things. . . . (post YOURS too)

Okay, I was trying to think of all the "little things" about this surgery that have changed. I mean, we tend to focus on the "big" things - like changes in the scale or in the tag sizes in our clothes. But what about the other things. See what you can add: The little things - - the fact that a regular size towel can fully fit around me! - the fact that I can soal comfortably in the bath tub! LOL - I can set sit in the driver's seat, belted in, and have TONS of remaining seat belt - I can look at my old clothes and literally fit two or three of me in there - I don't have to lean out over my belly to see my feet - I can bend over AND breathe! - I can ride comfortably in the back seat of the car - I can squeeze in between a chair and the wall in a restaurant without having to walk around the entire aisle! (I love this one) - I can and DO wear sleeveless! WOOHOO - I can sit on the edge of the bed or on the edge of the couch without having the hole side collapse! - I NEVER have to worry about someone thinking "what a pig" when I'm in line for food or at a buffet (which is stupid to go to anyway, but you know) - I can happily announce I'M STARVING without fearing anyone will think I'll take a bite out of them if they get too close! - I can still take a peak at myself in the mirror and be pleasantly surprised Okay, what can you come up with??

And see I forgot one of my major ones. . . . I CAN COMFORTABLY CROSS MY LEGS! I can cross them in a car. . I can cross them near or far. I can cross them here or there. . I can cross them ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!

Great post!! Isn't hard to believe we are all heading towards our first "birthday"??? Beth

I can.... Fit in the captain chairs of my dining room table Fit very comfortably in an airplane seat and NOT need an extender! Fit in & ride any roller coaster I want Sit in my desk chair even if the adjustable arms are turned toward the smaller fit position Do the treadmill for 90 minutes and decide to do more because I want another mile Sleep without my c-pap with my doctor's ok!!
