Poll, what is the best part of your WLS journey so far?

There are so many things I could never count them but I love the fact I can cross my legs and fit in a theater seat comfortably next to someone ( and can do them at the same time LOL).

YOU can DO them?  wow, you go girl...

Ya know, EVEN with all the silly little things going on in this aging body, I am so amazed and grateful for this surgery!  There are SOO many "BEST" parts of this surgery, I'm not sure where to start!   Lemme see..........there's being able to sit and not worry about breaking the chair, being able to cross my legs, being able to RUN (never in my LIFE did I think I'd be able to do that!), being able to keep up and beat the kids when we are hiking, feeling healthy (usually!), the list could go on.................

I only wish I had done this 20 years ago!!!!!!!!!

That you, thank you, thank you!!   It's so good to hear all of these positive things.  Please keep them coming.

To be honest, I've heard about so many of the negative side effects that I'm scared, but I want to be HEALTHY.  I want to run.  I want to be able to cross my legs (don't remember if I ever could do that).  I want to be able to keep up with my 3 and 5 year old.  I want to be able to climb a mountain.

I'm terrified, but also very excited about what life has in store for me after my surgery.

The best one:  I can walk without having to ice my knees, take prescription pain killers and hurt for 2 days.

Some others......
I don't worry about whether a seat will accommodate me.
I can buy clothing that doesn't have XXX or W after the size.
I'm a cheap date- 1/2 a restaurant meal is more than enough.
I'm happy, I have energy
I don't take blood pressure or cholesterol meds.

Knowing I will never break my toilet seat again.
Being able to shop in the small sizes section and even wear some juniors.
I stood on a rocking boat all day yesterday and nothing hurts today.
I can easily bend over and tie my shoes.
I can mow my lawn all at once if I want to and hardly crack a sweat.
Limited meds now. Normal cholesterol, blood pressure, etc.
I feel sexy.
So many things, I can't list them all. I wish I had the foresight to do this years ago.

Well, I'm kind of glad to know I wasn't the only one that had a few toilet seat breakages in my past....  I think it was from all the manuevering to "get things cleaned" that broke them!  LOL

To lose 80 pounds....and get pregnant without even trying- no medications!. Such a blessing!!!!

That is a blessing!  Hey are you still going to NY with us?
