HOW HAS YOUR LIFE CHANGED?
This was a post from Melissa on another board. I thought it would be interesting to do it here.
HOW HAS YOUR LIFE CHANGED SINCE HAVING SURGERY?
My changes...
1. I can take nice long showers and enjoy them.
2. I can walk around the block.
3. I can go shopping without having to use an electric cart.
4. I have much more energy.
5. I can take care of my partner when she needs me (like this weekend when she was sick) instead of her always taking care of me.
6. I can do dishes and take out the trash and clean my own bathroom without having to sit down several times while doing it.
7. I can enjoy this beautiful weather we are having.
8. I can fit better in chairs.
9. My back and legs don't hurt as badly.
10.I am more comfortable wherever I am.
11.My family and friends are proud of me.
12.I am proud of myself.
13.I can get up out of a chair or couch easier.
14.I can get in and out of the truck easier.
15.I feel more self-confident.
The amazing thing is that I still have so far to go, and I can't wait to see what other wonderful changes await me. Thanks Melissa! I think I will copy and past this in my profile.
Big Hugs,

HOW HAS YOUR LIFE CHANGED SINCE HAVING SURGERY?
I am a month out and just beginning to notice some things. Here are a couple of things that have changed...good & not so good:
1. I have never had to take so many pills in a day. 
2. My bath robe actually fits like it's supposed to.
3. I feel like this is the first time I am actually going to lose weight & keep it off.
4. I really like the way my eating habits have changed...no more fast foods for me 
5. I can smell foods that look tasty and not feel the need to want to eat them.
6. My stomach doesn't growl all the time like it used to.
7. I love that I only have to take a few bites to feel full & satisfied.
Right now it's a small list but I know in another month I will have more to add to it.
