Biggest WLS accomplishment....

Hey Everyone,

We all know we had this surgery, or want to have this surgery to get healthy and lead a healthy life.. but, aside from medical reasons..   What is, or will be your biggest accomplishment just for YOU?

Mine, most definatley was when I was able to wear high heels!  I've always had ankle problems, and as a pre op.. would see girls in their gorgeous shoes and be sooo jealous.  I would have to wear sensible shoes, because at the end of the day, my ankles would be swollen.  So, when I dropped the weight, I tried shoes with a small heels.. as I got more comfortable, I went higher.. until.. for my wedding last Aug.. I wore 4 and a quarter inch heels!!!   They were gorgeous.. and hurt like heck..  but it was soo worth it! 

Now, I fell and broke my ankle, and am back in flats..    But I'm not giving up hope of wearing my heels again!   Oh, and I was wearing tenny shoes when I fell.. I've never fallen and hurt myself in my heels!

So, what is that one little "skinny girl" guilty pleasure goal you reached, or wish to reach???

Come on and share!!!

COOL post!!!

I have said it before...there are LOTS of things~ but, not having to contort into some funky a$$ position in order to paint my toenails or put on socks.... LOL That big ole tummy I used to have would get in the way!!

Unfortunately, with my back being all jacked up- it kind of has reverted me to doing things the way I used to when I was a big girl.  HOWEVER, now I can at least SEE my feet when I shower!!

Love ya girlie!!

I'm soo with you on the toenails and socks!!!

I hope you feel better darlin!  At least you look good! 

Love you!

I think the day I zip up into a wet suit (NEXT JUNE!!!) will be the best.  I am going to get my own and go abalone diving with my hubby.  I do lots of other stuff with him but this is one I just can't do ...... yet! 

He tells me just floating around out there, playing with the seals and looking at all the marine life is one of the best things he has ever done.  Next year I find out for myself! 

That is soo awsome Maureen!!  And you WILL get into that wet suit and be able to do everything you want with your hubby!

That will just be incredible!  I can't wait for the post when you tell us all about it!!!!

Awsome goal!!!!

Mine would be running, finishing a few marathons and living to tell others about it. Even if San Diego tried to kill me. I didn't let it win. (not that I will give it a second chance)

I also have a pair boots with heels that I love and have even gone dancing with them on.

Thank you for this post. What a postive way to end our day.

Have a great Night Renee

You did it darlin, and have the pic to prove it!!  You rock!!!!

So many...but here's a few.....

The day my son told his friends "look...I can pick my mom up" and proceeded to wrap his arms around me and lift me off the ground....I hadn't been picked up since I was a little kid.

Skydiving....jumping from 3 miles in the air out of a perfectly good airplane...cuz I could fit in the jumpsuit!

Finishing my first, second, third, and yesterday my fourth 1/2 marathon.

Crossing the finish line at the L.A. Marathon

Your son picking you up!!!  So great!!!  That must have been the BEST!!!!!'

And you are just kicking boo tay on the marathons!!

Skydiving..  not for me.. but I'm sure you looked dayum cute in the jumpsuit too!!!

 

To not feel like a big toad on my motorcycle and to be able once again to pick it up. If ya can't pick it up you have no business riding it. Tha t is why I sold the last one and looking to buy another one now. I wanna look like a hotty not a fatty, that is just my vanity.

Great Post Thanks
JOY
