Things I can do now and other stuff...

You guys are sooooooo darn cute!  Congrats on your success!  Thanks for posting this, it gives me many more things to look forward to! Jeanne

What an awesome post, and even AWESOMER (?) pictures!!!  You are just too cute - If I might add a short list of things I enjoy now?  Some of the same things you posted about the towels, sitting and fitting in chairs, feeling bones and such...  I also love seeing my hands when I type - the veins and tendons that were long buried in the fat!  Not only crossing my legs, but being able to tuck my foot back around the back of the other ankle!  Walking around without friction or wearing out the inner thighs of my jeans!  My new size L winter jacket!  Going up & down stairs without needing the assistance of the railing!  Being the only person in my group at a restaurant who needs a take-home container for my left-overs. Is there any end to the simple pleasures we enjoy following this surgery?!  I should see if I can shop in the Gap!  Never been much of a shopper, and I've forced myself to stay away from the stores lately, as I could see shopping for clothes becoming an issue!

Snowshoeing is awesome exercise and SO much fun!! WTG GF!!! My DH and I bought each other snowshoes for our Christmas presents to each other and we love it. We had both always wanted to try it but were both too big to fit in the weight guidelines of the snowshoes. Not now!! He didn't have wls but has lost 60 lbs on his own so he's just within the guidelines now and I'm well within the women's middle size snowshoe....never dreamed of that! I think I read that snowshoeing can burn off about 800 calories an hour or something outrageous like that and MAN can I feel it the next day. Always hated having hurting muscles before wls now I LOVE IT because it means I've had the opportunity to live life out loud and move my body like I hadn't ever been able to before. Awesome!! Congrats on your all-day date - you look great! Sharon

You look FABULOUS!  Isn't WLS the best - I love that you've ended the year with a list of all that you're grateful for!  I should do the same.  Congrats on all your fabulous success - I hope that 2008 is all that you wish for and more! Join us for coffee on Saturday - it would be great to see you again!

You look amazing!!  And are doing AMAZING!!  CONGRATS!!  Doesn't life just keep getting better after WLS?!?!?!  Here's to 2008!!
