I needed this :)
Today was my last pre-op appt and tomorrow morning starts the 2 week all liquid diet. My nerves have set in since all the 'to-do' list is DONE. I've been lurking here at OH since I started the journey and this is my first post.
Very grateful to have this resource.
I can add a few!
- Harder time picking out clothes because there's more of a selection and more places to shop
- Sexytime with the husband is easier, what a drag
- Have to spend all sorts of money on nifty cycling gadgets since I can ride for hours
- Nabisco makes less of a profit because I'm not buying Oreos all the time

Can you stand a few more?
- I sleep on my side - with a pillow between my knees for the past four years. Knees are too bony without it, ugh!
- Not NEARLY enough closet space. I not only replaced all my old clothes, I went a bit overboard, LOL.
- I wear out a pair of walking shoes in six months these days.
- My "innie" belly button is REALLY innie now, I need to remember to clean it when I shower. (OK, was that TMI?)

I'm totally with you on the side sleeping thing. I'm scared I'm going to get pressure ulcers at night! My bony knees are too much. :)

I absolutely love these. I bet we could come up with many more.
Like we dont get to turn sideways when closing the stall door in a public restroom.
Hostess now makes us decide between table or booth and doesnt automatically give us a table.
We have to make chubby friends just to give our clothes to. But when they see how easy we did it. They did it to and the clothes have to be passed on again,
My big one. I keep fingering my collar bones. I didn't even know I had collar bones. LMAO
