I have literally pages and pages of these.  But the one that is number one now, has always been number one and always been number one is:

I never thought I would care about myself, until I had surgery.

I never thought I'd feel beautiful until I had surgery.

I never thought I'd enjoy sex until I had surgery.

I never thought I'd divorce my husband until I had surgery.

I never thought I'd ride a bike until I had surgery.

I never thought that I would...
  -fall even more in love with my husband
  -be able to conceive a child (we'll work on carrying to term next)
  -be confident enough to wear a sleeveless top
  -be able to spend 10 hours in the heat working and not be in pain the following day
  -LOVE fruit and veggies so much!
  -have the confidence to share my recipes and start writing a cook book

until I had my surgery

There are so many I could list but these are the ones that come to mind at the moment
