look at you posting and coming up with creative stuff.  I've missed you Miss Jena!

I never thought I would wear a size 12 until I had surgery.

I never thought I would go ziplining until I had surgery.
 
I never thought I would enjoy going to the gym until I had surgery.

I never thought I'd be comfortable walking down the boardwalk in just a bathing suit until I had surgery.


I'm sure there are others, but these are the ones that stick out in my mind for now.

Great post!! thanks!

I never thought I would be able to keep up with my son in New York, till I had surgery.

I never thought I would be able to cross my legs, until I had surgery.

I never thought I would be able to pick up something off the floor, till I had surgery.

I never thought I would be able to sit in an airplane seat, and not need the seatbelt extender, till I had surgery.

I never thought I would feel beautiful dancing at my son's wedding two years ago, till I had surgery.

I never thought I would be able to keep up with a two year old, till I had surgery.

 I never thought I was "backward or shy" until I had my surgery started feeling more confident and comfortable around strangers and now I walk my neighborhood and introduce myself to people.

I never thought I would...be able to shop in regular clothing stores again and wear 'real' jeans and pants WITHOUT elastic waists...not need seatbelt extenders not only on planes but also in my car...ride amusement park rides again...absolutely glow from compliments about my weight loss and new look...clean my house and not get winded or all sweaty from doing just 15 minutes of work - now I can clean for hours on end...feel sexy for my husband again...and most of all...

I never thought I would be able to get in front of a group of strangers (or anyone who asks) and talk openly and freely about my weight loss surgery and journey - the good parts and the bad - and feel like Cy Syms when he says 'An educated consumer is our best customer'!!
