Daily Post--7/15/08

I rode my bike around the block twice today! I would have never in a million years been able to do that pre-op. Plus I went to a wedding last weekend and wasn't completely freaked out. Life is good!

walk a flight of stairs just because I want too

Went to the state park and played on the playground. I know it sounds strange and weird at my age and considering I wasn't with any young kids (I was with my daughter and her friend who are 21 and 23). But it was fun and I enjoyed myself. Sally

I jogged on a treadmill!!!! not for long, but I did it and there were other people there Vivienne

I danced the electric slide in front of people, I asked a guy on a date, I spoke in front of 1,100 people and gave my testimony, the list goes on and on...

I would have never gone parasailing! I went for the first time last summer and had a blast! I am afraid of heights (well not really of heights but the fall and then the splat for sure!), and then my weight on top of it - no way would I have gone ever NO WAY!!! Anyway, I had a blast and would do it again and again! Have a great week! Sheryl

Fly to Hawaii......I have always wanted to go, and have friends there so have a place to stay, but would never have gotten on a plan pre WLS as I know I would not fit comfortably. Now it is not an issue!!

Oh so much! One thing I wanted to do was a cartwheel, and I did it - then hurt for about a week (I AM 47!)... I also play on swings and slides with my nephews, and have an annual pass to Disneyland. I did the American Cancer Society walk last month, and did the nature walk thing at Lake Tahoe with my boyfriend. I went horseback riding. I can't even begin to list the daily differences in my life since pre-op... SOOO exciting to be normal!!

As I said in the last post, I went skydiving. And I couldn't have done this even if I wanted to pre-op, because I exceeded the weight limit!
